Courage – Under Fire!

You may think that this blog has nothing to do with the title or even what you may have thought?

But give me a chance to explain?

This is what I know now that I didn’t know when I began this journey.

This by itself can save you time and frustration.

• People would love to have their own business but they are afraid.
• They invent things inside their heads that basically relate to the question: What if I Fail?
• Never once considering the question: What If I don’t?

Let’s say you get past this first part.

• Second part: I call courage.
• I think of it this way because that is what it really is.
• Your ability to stick with it, stay in the game and finish what you started.

Business requires a 100% commitment: physically, emotionally and Yes, financially.

• Guess what happens next?
• You guessed it, more excuses; usually it is someone else’s fault.

Industry statistics say that 98% of businesses fail, I say that they just quit on themselves, their families and their business because of the noise inside their heads.

Don’t let this be you!

Courage – Under Fire!

Congratulations: you made it thru part one; there may be hope for you after all.

You made it past the “What If I fail Phase but that’s only half the battle.

However there is more:

• Research:  There are literally hundreds of thousands of business opportunities available.
• Find a business that interests you and you can believe in 100%.
• Search the leaders of your business, find a coach/mentor that you can relate and communicate with before you start your business.
• Then Get in – All In and go to work

Note: Just because you are interested in the business and you believe your coach is great doesn’t mean success

Think of it this way, you’re the success story, you take on two clients to mentor.

One never does what you say, always complains and produces no results; the other is just the opposite. Your busy with your business as well, so who is getting the majority of your time?

Courage – Under Fire!

There are obviously a lot more aspects in owning a business and the length it takes will be based on where you start not some push button get rich quick scheme.

All of which can be learned or hired out but there is one more change that you must work on everyday of your business.

Many label it “Mindset!”

Out of all the things a business owner must do, it is said this is more important than anything else.

It will without a doubt have a considerable effect on the outcome of your adventure.

Especially, if you had to fight off the What If I Fail cloud from the very start.

A shift in your “mindset” will give you the courage, persistence and determination to keep moving forward, even when it is hard to do.

Courage – Under Fire!  Conclusion

This was me and maybe it’s you: after 40 years at a JOB (just over broke). I was let go about 6 months before I was to retire, lost everything I had worked for.

Before I got the courage to do a business on my own, try living on monthly check that is less than what you made in a week.(Social Security)

I mean seriously your own business, couldn’t be any worse, even if it took a couple of years to accomplish.

Not even taking into considerations all the benefits a business of your own would give you.

I and many others care about you.

Maybe more than you care about yourself.

Look I know that you might be afraid.

That’s no reason not to try.

I’m going to help you get started.
