I was having a conversation with a gentleman today about this business opportunity, and he said something that is so true. I will tell you what he said in a minute. First, let me ask you a question. What does it take to become a successful entrepreneur? Is it difficult? Is it easy? Does it require you to change a little?

Let me give a story as an example really quick. The once lived a bum, or a guy without a job or a home to live in. He was broke, but he did have one thing going for him, at least in his world it was a good as it gets. He had claim on the busiest corner in his town. That meant more profits for him in the form of donations. He was doing well in the land of the bums.

Now one day a guy comes along and feels inspired to assist this bum in getting his life back together. So he goes and offers the bum a job, room and board, and even a car to drive to a from work in. The pay would be good and it would give this bum an opportunity to set things straight and to have a normal life. Well, the bum got all excited at first but then came a worried look across his face. He looked up at the guy who had offered him all these great things and asked, “Well, what will happen to my corner? Someone will get my corner if I leave!”

It was once said that it is easier for a bum to transition into being an employee than for an employee to transition into an entrepreneur. Why? What is the gap there and what is so difficult about making that transition?

Think about the mentality of both the employee and then an entrepreneur. An employee is used to being the guy behind the scenes instead of being the director. He is used to structure. He is conditioned not to make big decisions, but to leave that to his employer, the entrepreneur. Risk taking is non-existent in the employees life. He is used to getting that paycheck every other week. So to make that shift from exactly opposite of everything he is conditioned with, is difficult for a lot of people. When you make the transition from employee to entrepreneur you make the shift from being told what to do by someone else to telling yourself what to do.

Do you have the self-confidence and qualities of leadership to be effective as an entrepreneur? To you have what it takes to play all out? Do you have what it takes to take risks that may involve sacrifice? Are you willing to step away from the bi-weekly paycheck?

The gentleman I spoke to today said that he had the itch, the entrepreneur itch. He is just waiting to take the next risk because he thrives on it. It is part of his make-up and who he is. He has the spirit of Entrepreneuralism. Then he said, “You take the risk, you give it your all, and hey, if it doesn’t work out…you can always go back to diggin’ ditches! But who wants to do that anyway?” That is exactly why he will succeed. He knows what else is out there. The only way to living his perfect lifestyle, is by becoming an entrepreneur.

So if you feel as if you are unfulfilled, unchallenged, underpaid, and looking to create some freedom in your life….chances are, you have the spirit of an entrepreneur!

Why, if you take a look at people who were all exposed to the same things in life, do they all have different results? You will find that some of them are now very successful, some of them are mildly successful and some have not experienced any level of success. What is the difference between the person and the result if they were all exposed to the same opportunities? Why does one person have success while the others will never experience that level of accomplishment?

Some people have success while others don’t because the successful one made the simple choice to do the easy things in life while the other found in easy not to do those things. The successful person read those personal development books while it was easy for the other person to not read those books. The successful person did what he was supposed to be doing out of integrity while the other person found it easy to lie a little and cheat. The successful person decided to apply simple practices into his life such as mediation, goal setting and visualization while the other person decided to watch TV. You see, these are all simple things, but yet so easy to not do. The list can go on!

Chances are, the unsuccessful person knows that he should be doing more with his life than what he is doing, but fails to take action and do them. “Not doing the things we know we should do causes us to feel guilty and guilt leads to an erosion of self-confidence. As our self-confidence diminishes, so does the level of our activity. And as our activity diminishes, our results inevitably decline. And as our results suffer, our attitude begins to weaken. And as our attitude begins the slow shift from positive to negative, our self-confidence diminishes even more… and on and on it goes.” -Jim Rohn.

So you see, do what you know you should be doing. It has a greater effect on your results than you truly realize.

How many people really just go through life like a feather in the wind or a boat lost at sea being tossed to and fro my every little breeze? What does that really mean? Well, it means that the majority of people are ok with the fact that they will never really make a huge difference in the world. Now, I am not saying that every person isn’t special, and loved, and needed. I am just saying that most people are willing to live a life for other people, not in a service kind of way, but rather in a slave kind of way. They just aren’t empowered to take a stand and life life on their own terms.

When I speak of taking a stand, when does a person finally do that for themselves? Or when do they do it for others? I think the answer is simple……when they are inspired to do so. Either that or they become so sick and tired of whatever they are sick an tired of, and finally take a stand for something. Now, I don’t really know how to inspire people to take a stand in their own lives except by setting the example by doing it in my own life. If I show them what is possible for them, they can be inspired. Example speaks a thousand times stronger then words. As Aerosmith says it….Walk this way!

I am always thinking of new and better ways I can assist new associates and business partners in seeing success, but the answer always comes back to the same thing…and that is to make as much money and have as much success as fast as I possibly can so that I can set the pace for others to follow. How will they know it is possible unless I show them. My goal is to make 100k in the month of December. Very do-able! Especially with this business opportunity! I am taking a stand for my family, myself, and everyone else who has a strong desire to take a stand in their own life. If you are ready to take that step, contact me and let’s get started!
