ENTREPRENEURS it’s very Important to be Your Own Best Friend
Entrepreneurs are never a knew it all because if your name is not Goggle then you learn every day and if Google teaches you anything, it’s that small ideas can be big. I think I was very naïve early on, but that also meant I didn’t know what couldn’t be done and I knew that I will learn day in and day out and will never stop learning to my grave. It’s not about how many years of experience you have. It’s about the quality of your years of experience. There’s no committee that says, ‘This is the type of person who can change the world – and you can’t.’ Realizing that anyone can do it is the first step. The next step is figuring out how you’re going to do it. If you’re not making mistakes, then you’re not making decisions. The biggest risk is not taking any risks and I’ve also learned that the biggest lessons came from my biggest mistakes, where magic can happen in a single moment in time and change your Life for ever. In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks and never has an Entrepreneur make decisions based on fear. The hardest part about being an entrepreneur is that you’ll fail ten times for every success and that running a start-up Business is like eating glass. You just start to like the taste of your own blood.
Entrepreneurs it’s very important to be your own best friend a lot of times; people will enjoy belittling your accomplishments as well as your ambitions. If you are steadfast in your self-respect, that will not even bother you because you will be able to see those people as the small fries that they are. Critics serve their own purpose, and that’s fine, because you’ll be smart enough to serve your own purpose, too. Think about it: If you can’t say great things about yourself, who do you, think will? So don’t be afraid to toot your own horn when you’ve done something worth tooting about Entrepreneurs. Winners in life have special qualities which set them apart from 98% of the population. There is a formula you can follow to be a winner in life but you must be brutally honest with yourself. Dream Big - What you dream is what you will do. If you want to be big, set big goals and be lean and hungry. Take action every day and stay focus for the long haul. Suck up more and more knowledge so that you are good at what you are doing. Pride yourself for your ability to come out with creative solutions to tough problems. Be passionate about your work and never take no for an answer. Learn to trust your guts Entrepreneurs.
Now to the critics in your life who are your friends, family and co-workers the once who will remind you of your shortcomings regardless of whether you asked or not and this happens during the time of creating your dream Business. They often say, "What makes you think you can do that?" Or "If it's such a good idea, how come someone else hasn't done it?" Or "That will never work. You don't know what you're talking about." These words of doubt often get so loud that we fail to act. A horrible feeling builds in our stomach. Sometimes we can't sleep. We fail to move forward. So we stay with what is safe and opportunities pass us by. We watch life passing by as we sit immobilized with a cold knot in our body because people called you crazy for what you believed in, now let me tell you these are the naysayers who never amount to much, and never manage to contribute much either and live from hand to month for their whole pathetic and miserable broke ass Life. Don’t join their club. They’re the lowest common denominator and I use them to reach my Goals and I love them because they give me ever more reason to prove them wrong and I will sometimes make people believe something that is not true but just because they think it is gives me reason to improve myself in my Business, so use your emotions to think and don’t think with your emotions. When you achieve your goals these lowest common denominators will become your best of best friends because now you have what they all want which is “Money” so don’t join their club they broke and the lowest common denominator, you need positivity around you not negativity.
It really is easy to find great deals. I promise you that. It's just like riding a bike. After a little wobbling, it's a piece of cake. But when it comes to money Entrepreneurs, it's the determination to get through the wobbling that's a personal thing. Finding a good deal, the right business, the right people, the right investors, or whatever is just like dating. You must go to the market and talk to a lot of people, make a lot of offers, counteroffers, negotiate, reject and accept. I know single people who sit at home and wait for the phone to ring, but unless you're Jennifer Lopez or Tom Cruise, I think you'd best go to the market, even if it's only the supermarket. Search, offer, reject, negotiate and accept are all parts of the process of almost everything in life.
I will leave you with this, evens if you taking the "Vow of Poverty " but you have the Passion inside you to be an Entrepreneur listen. The Fact that Something has always been Done in a particular Way for a Long Time is No reason to assume that it is the Right way, the Best way or the Only way Entrepreneurs. To any Entrepreneur: if you Want to do it, do it Now. If you don’t, you’re going to Regret it. If you’ve got an Idea, start Today. There’s no better Time than Now to get Going.
