Entrepreneur Development - Is Your Past Killing Your Future?

Monday, July 6th, 2009

Good Day  Everyone,

Before I get into today’s topic I just wanted to comment on Tiger Woods and watching him play.  He always intrigues me how focused he is and how he visualizes not one route but two or three outcomes before he takes the swing and then the intensity and strength through his body.  The absolute commitment to the shot no hesitations just total focus. He always inspires me as all great athletes do.  I try to emulate them in their tactics as I go about my business as I fulfill another dream..

Today we are going to take a variation on a theme and everyone gets to play today.

 

The past, you have to love it don’t you?  Always dictating how our future will be.  We make resolutions that we really intend to resolve.  But we don’t follow through. We make commitments to ourselves and others and we don’t quite get the job done.  We have all these good intentions but somehow we just don’t quite get it off the ground.  And oh yeah, we are full of all the excuses as to why we just couldn’t do it , why it didn’t get done and it is never our fault, it was the situation or someone else intervened or the sky fell that day.   If we were half as committed to getting things done than we were at thinking up those crafty excuses, perhaps we wouldn’t be wasting so much time thinking them up.  My how easy it is for us to rationalize our actions or inactions.  My how we let ourselves off the hook but perhaps we don’t do the same for others.  How do you feel when someone promises something and they don’t deliver?  What goes through your mind then? Pretty judgemental then aren’t we when all the while making up excuse number 20 for why the phone calls we were going to make today just didn’t get done.

The past is what ambushes us and drags us back.  The sad truth is that the past is never really past is it?  It is always with us…sometimes strong and supportive, pushing us toward our goals and dreams like a friendly wind at our backs.  But more often than not it is wound tightly around our shoulders like a shroud its weight dragging us down, tethering us to the ground, occasionally even burying us alive, and killing any hope we have of accomplishing our dreams.  The strange thing is that given the opportunity to rid ourselves of these deadly wraps, we often cling to them instead.  So we have to ask ourselves…if we truly want what we seek….  If we really want to change our reality, why do we not do it?  Why do we settle? Why do we accept less than what we are deserving of?  Don’t you feel just a little bit embarrassed when you look at it?  I mean what are we two year olds, can we not change? Are we deluding ourselves?  Do we really not want to achieve that dream?  We are not cowards, why don’t we just get it done?

The past.  The big ugly past.  You try to dodge and weave but you still find yourself right back to where you came from.  Sad, unhappy, probably even more unhappy because you saw the dream you had it right there in front of you and yet, here you are again.  Why do we put on our past cloak and head out into our future and actually think we will achieve the results we want?

The past is a double edged sword.  I had a past of nothing was good enough except the best,  nothing but first place; that was what was expected of me.  When I came is second I was not  congratulated, I was told there was one person in front of you, you need to do better Therefore if I failed I hid it so no one would know.  I pretended.   I was a fraud.  It also instilled a great sense of determination and perseverance, tenacity, which is the great to the double edged sword.  It was also wearing as I did not stop to rest or to play or to enjoy the fruits of my labour.

I stopped one day just stopped.  I made the decision that from this day I would live with wide open eyes, with no judgement, with no preconceived notions with an open attitude and mind.  I would not care what position I ended up in as long as I was playing full out and living free. And guess what, my world opened up to me with wonder I pursued dream after dream and achieved them one after the other again and again.  A simple change, just one; to rid myself of the past, of the part of past that did not form a future for me that I wanted. That did not serve my dream

Today we are all going to change.  Today we are going to do something new.  Today is a challenge.  We are going to change the themes of our lives just like we change the skins or wallpaper on our computers  If you are a rigid theme we are going to switch to a flexibility theme….give you a few more options to work with.  If you are a static theme, we are going for a dynamic theme. If you are like me and tend to be a little shapeless theme, we will make a list and stick to it today; we will be a structured theme.

See where we are going with this.  Take the challenge and change your life, one moment at a time.

Entrepreneurial Development - Rejection!

Friday, July 3rd, 2009

Let’s talk a little reality today. You obviously see the value and beauty of your home business opportunity, or you wouldn’t be involved right? Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone could see it – if everyone could be as excited as you are about this company? Yes it would. But don’t count on it happening. That is reality. 

Your opportunity may be one of the most fun and rewarding businesses in the world, but eventually all of us are faced with certain widespread and universal challenges. No matter how long we’re involved in a business, and no matter how successful we become, there is always the possibility that we will be temporarily shot down by the most prevalent and dangerous weapon of all – the Rejection Rocket. It can and will strike anytime, rendering us virtually immobile, thus destroying our enthusiasm and excitement, which are the essential qualities for success.

Everyone faces rejection in life, but what makes our form of rejection so devastating is that it often comes from the very people we most love and respect: our spouse, our parents, our best friends and business associates. It’s a fact that rejection causes more people to fail in this business than any other factor.

So what do you do? First, realize it will not all be about rejection. You WILL find friends, family, business associates and casual acquaintances that will be eager to talk with you about what you’re doing; they’ll have an open mind and they’ll be eager to also be a part of your business. But it’s those very first “No’s” that can be the hardest to take. That’s what we want to prepare you for. That way it won’t be able to destroy you. You’ll be ready for it if it happens.

We would love to say that every single person who hears about your business will want to join.  We can’t do that because we know there are a few single minded people in the world. 

One of your biggest obstacles will be, “This is too good to be true.” Getting them to the website and the Presentation Business Overviews will convince them but it may take some time to get them there.

The way to deal with rejection is to CHOOSE to allow it to motivate you to succeed. Turn your battles into a motivational force and let that force propel you through those early rejections.

Let’s look at this… It really is true that a “no, thank you” is not a personal rebuff. A waitress pouring coffee in a coffee shop might be told, “no, thanks” by one, “no more for now,” by another. She might be told, “I have plenty, thanks”, or even “I don’t like coffee.” But none of these responses sends her running to the lady’s room in tears because all her customers rejected her. And yet that is comparable to what happens to some brand new entrepreneurs. They take “No,” however it is said, too personally. Think of sharing your business as a sifting process. Like the waitress walking around with a coffeepot, we are merely searching for those who WOULD like to have what we have to offer. Accepting “No” is merely part of the process of finding those who say “Yes.”

You know, often the mere fear and anticipation of rejection will keep some new members at home. Fear of getting started is the primary reason for failure. It is an obvious but unspoken phenomenon. You might hide behind the need to learn more, or you want to understand the powerful program better. You figure if you don’t talk to anyone, you can’t be rejected – right? You also can’t build a business and make any money. You’ll go weeks or months doing this “busywork,” then decide this opportunity just doesn’t work.

The reason will probably be clear to everyone but you. The mere anticipation of rejection leads to non-activity, a certain road to failure. In traditional business, things may just happen, but in Life success comes to those who MAKE THINGS HAPPEN!

We’ve already talked about your immediate goals and your long-term goals. Let your goals be foremost in your mind. “See” them on a daily, hourly basis. Let your dreams and your determination carry you beyond the rejection rocket. Know that it is going to happen. Accept that it is going to happen. Make it your friend instead of your enemy. Know it will make you stronger. Know it will help you surround yourself only with people who want to change their lives. Know that it is these people who are going to help you achieve the financial independence you want for your life.

Be sure you make the numbers work for you. If you only send a few E-mails or hand out a couple Business Cards, the act of rejection by those few becomes bigger than life. If you contact a few dozen people each week, rejection is no problem because a bunch of them will always get involved. Remember this law of balance: increase the number of approaches and decrease the impact of rejection.

One final thought. Think about these people who are rejecting you and your business. Are they wildly successful? Do they have true financial independence? Are they living the kind of life you dream about? Then why would you really care what they think? Whatever it is they are doing sure isn’t working!  File them away for future contact and move on! Don’t let them defeat you!! Show them they should have listened to you in the first place!!

One more final thought is to tell you to call someone you know who is also working to change their life. It might be your best friend; it might be someone else. When the rejection rocket has landed on your head and heart, and you’re wondering what in the world you’re doing, call someone.

What Does it Take To Be a Profitable Entrepreneur?

Wednesday, December 10th, 2008

Some people think that an entrepreneur is a mysterious entity that only a select few will ever become.  In some cases, many opportunities have kept up that pretense.  A pretense that would have you paying and paying and paying to run around in a circle and get nowhere. 

Are the opportunities bogus?  Is everyone out there just ready to pounce on you and scam you?  No….the reality is that they are just in the same boat you are.  Most were sold a bill of goods and in order to try and recover the money they invested, they tow the company line.  Who can blame them?  They have to survive. They don’t know any better.  They were set up for failure.  Does that make home business bad or all of these scams….Not in a million years.  It is sheep mentality, we see something that everyone is touting as the next big thing and we innocently follow the herd, not realizing the wolf in sheep’s clothing lying in wait for us.  Not realizing we might not have the skills to pull it off and before we know it, it is too late and we get in over our heads.  Is there a solution…You Bet!

So, just like in the Wizard of Oz, we have to look behind the curtain, we have to take off the blinders and get real.  We have to take responsibility for our success or failure.  We have to take control and get the right education to be profitable entrepreneurs.

I was just like you.  Probably just where you are standing right now.  One foot over the edge and the other wondering if it should follow.  I struggled in the beginning but eventually became very successful and I am very proud of my accomplishments.  I also have to admit that I was very lucky that I came from a sales and business background so I knew a good portion of what I needed to get started.

One fine day an idea was presented to me and I knew that it was exactly what this industry needed.

If you are truly serious about becoming a successful entrepreneur.  If you are truly serious about working from home and not working for someone else.  Then I have the program that you should run, not walk, to join.  I fully endorse and encourage you to join this program. I know that it works because the principles and training are what has made me a success.  Several members of this industry, and corporate America have banded together to present the ultimate entrepreneurial educational forum.  Earn while you learn and become a master.  Become a black belt entrepreneur and knock-out all the obstacles that are holding you back from success.  Learn how to market your opportunity.  Learn how to speak to prospective partners.  Learn the basics of computer set-up.  Getting a good domain name.  Everything you will need to make this happen for you….and more importantly….GET INTO PROFIT!

Take a tour and see for yourself just how dynamic and profound this will be for you. Download the Free E-Book - The Eight Lies that will doom you to failure…..

We will be there every single step of the way to help guide, motivate, and teach you all the skills, and tricks of the trade we have acquired in our success. We will teach you what NOT to do and how to avoid the mistakes we made earning our chops.

I present you the opportunity but it is up to you to step up and take responsibility for your journey to success.
