One of the most important things is learning to trust yourself. Trusting you know what is best for you. The journey of becoming and Entrepreneur has been marvelous. And at the same time, I've taken a break the last few months, to tear apart what I started, and focus on one thing.
If anything I've learned in here, is re-invent yourself as many times as takes. Fail as fast as you can, and through trial and error you learn in the process. What was the break about? Learning to balance my life. Sure entrepreneurship can take my life 24/7. I think sometimes you do have to step away from things, to get a clearer picture. Evaluate the situation, come up with a better plan and strategy.
My biggest obstacle was trusting other people. I suppose hanging out with horses, they mirror the condition of your heart. What you're afraid of always reflects in how they react with you.
Are your ready to rumble? I know I'm ready, and fast lane as prepared my way. And I know it's time to read the Fastlane book once more. It's time to run the last few laps, before getting to the finish line, and entrance to success.
Sidewalkers come in here believing it happens over night. It's truly a process like M.J. stated. And your heart has to be in it 100%. Sometimes you fall off your horse in the race, and so it happen at the end of the year, but always for good reason. Perhaps you're looking in the wrong direction, and have to change a lot more about yourself even though you thought you already changed everything.
I will say, there's always something to be learned, and change is an opportunity to challenge yourself to go higher and higher. Raise the bar, and grind even harder.
As an Introvert that's been a difficult road, but it's funny the more you push yourself through the fears, the more you find the hidden keys to success. And it is always moving forward and through whatever you are allowing to block yourself from reaching your goal.
In the past I've lost everything there is to lose. And what is there to gain? Everything in the world. And at the same time looking back over the journey I see the patterns, behaviors, and lessons and it always comes down to this, if you do the same thing you've always done, you will get the same results.
Trust is a funny thing. What we want is freedom. What we want is stability. What we want is security. And walking with the horses, I think I understood through it all, the earth never moves from beneath your feet. Its always stable, secure, and while we would love other people to hold us up. In this world you have to hold yourself up. Independent, strong minded, manage your emotions, and discipline yourself. Negative emotions, negative thoughts, negative feelings will never get you anywhere in this world. Trust everything will happen in the right timing, place, and when everything is in order. I know when I started in here, I wanted things to happen fast. And it just doesn't. I've succeeded and at the same time failed. And both teach you important lessons.
In the beginning of the entrepreneur journey in here, I understood I was being triggered by a lot of things, at the same time I understood it was building character. And while at times its been uncomfortable, I always got the feeling I was running with the best, and learning to be a business woman with integrity and respect.
As a business entrepreneur there is always competition. It's easy to compare yourself to others, and that's something you can do. Take your eyes off your competitors and just be your authentic self. Believe in you, and know you have what it takes to be successful.
If anything I've learned in here, every step of the way is one step closer, and a thousand more steps to move towards building real wealth. I think sometimes people don't realize how much Entrepreneurship tests your character, your drive, your ambition, your devotion, and whether you really want it all, or just going to flop. And as M.J. stated at some point with his book, he wanted to give up. lol I've had that thought hundreds of times along the way, but I don't give up. It's not even an option and even in my vocabulary.
Why do I love becoming a true entrepreneur, because I know the only way you make it is by stripping away every thing from your life that doesn't work, and rebuilding, inventing, creating, and problem solving. It's not for everyone, and I can see why. So, if you're a sidewalker, ask yourself whether you're going to trust the process, the challenges, and the journey, or give up before you even start.
Entrepreneurship will reveal every weakness inside of you and make it your greatest strength. It's incredible if you choose to travel this road. It's about personal growth as much as becoming a success in business.
It requires you to trust yourself, rely on yourself, and stand on your own two feet. It's your journey. No one else can walk it for you, or make it happen for you. There is no excuse not to succeed, but yourself. There is no obstacle big enough to stop you, nor mountain big enough, it's only you stopping you.
I encourage you to dive into entrepreneurship if you're serious about reaching your greatness and meeting the genius inside. At the same time I decided to take a break, because the ego can get in the way, and I think for some that is good, but for me I find it's better to have balance, or you end up swinging to much one way or the other with negative results.
Trust yourself, trust you know what's best for you. For me I took a break. lol And have a fresher perspective things now, and ready for the challenge of 2016 and soar this year. Take what I learned for the last few years in here, and now that I've practiced in 2015, lmao. I guess I know how things work a little bit better. So lets see what I can do this year.
Hope this was inspiring for others.
