One of the best things about being an entrepreneur is that you can
do what you want.
The hours are longer, the work harder, and you MUST use your brain a lot more.
And if you do You will end up enjoying yourself so much more.
Life is what is available to you,
instead of the constant drudgery, and the lackluster results so many
people find themselves in when they simply accept the default "life" handed
to them, and end up in the “grindâ€
by engaging the harder path up front, you end up working more in the beginning, front loading all the
work, but you get to enjoy the larger path later.
Many new entrepreneurs think if they go into business for themselves then they can
subsequently coast through life with few worries.
The worries of life never go away, even for the successful entrepreneur.
the lubrication of money allows the quick resolutions to many frustrating situations
where money is the obstacle. Money is quiet often the avenue of
convenience when you have it, and seemingly the impassable mountain when
you don't.
Where as if you can take money out of the equation almost entirely,
then the obstacles revel themselves to be exactly what they are, items
of execution on a time table.
The pursuit of money for moneys sake is quite often like going to shoping at a convience store. Quick and
dirty, and ultimately unfulfilling.
The many trappings and toys that money can bring, are like the toys of
your youth. Shinny, new and temporarily exciting, but most of the
toys,
Eventually fall away, like many of the toys of your past. Do
you still play with the GI joe? Or barbie of your toddler youth? Often
the answer is no.
and when someone brought a new toy to school, you
craved it, because they had uninhibited access to the new toys and you
did not.
often upon acquisition of the toy itself, often the newness fades,
and the next thing presents itself to continue the cycle.
The person most broke, is often focused on the money, not the value creation
that ultimately brings in the money.
It is a hard leap between the money focus (for the perceived benefits
that money brings, including shiny new toys) and the value creation focus, because when you are creating value
there is not always the easy to see connections between what you are creating NOW and the end goal
of the money. It requires a certain leap of faith. Most often we look
to successful people like MJ and others to validate the belief that its possible, and that they did it. But often over look the process that person took to get the the event. While there is alot of value in seeing those kinds of examples, Idolizing them is very often counter productive to your own success.
If you were to focus on developing a fastlane business, forget the toys, forget the platitudes, forget the accolades, and forget the money, leap like there is really a net, (albeit one you cant see. But it is there in all reality)
Leap and fly.
And if you fall
then you just bounce a couple times. And that's just ok.
Because you can always get up leap again, and just accept the fact
that few birds fly on the first leap.
But ANY bird can fly if it just jumps enough.
And learns the medium it fly's in (yes that means you penguins, for the committed pessimist )\
it can be done, its worth it, leap, fly and don't focus on shinny goals, focus on your value addition to the world at large.
or to a market in specfic
Just a thought.
