A lot of my instructions or advice are straight forward. I tell this is what should be happening and this how it should be happening… Some may get the impression that I believe these should be easy things to do…
Do not get it twisted… None of this comes easy. It isn’t meant to come easy.
We live in a Capitalistic country that is a country of freedom…not everyone still believes in these ideas but it is all true. This is the land of opportunity and the land of the free. So, what is the problem… We are country with over 300 million people. That is 300 million competitors. You must come up with an idea that you can deliver better than all of those… or at the very least, in a brand-new way. This is something that statistically seems improbable. I am a man who believes there is nothing impossible; I believe that stems from my Momma’s teachings. She always told me that I could do anything. I remember when I was a kid, the word “can’t” was a bad word and wasn’t allowed in my house.
The things that is best working in all of our favor is that we were all created uniquely different. You think differently than you r neighbor and this is your advantage which is also his/her advantage. You have the unique ability to reach certain people that they never could even though they may cross the same paths you do… as do they have that same advantage. It seems like a silly concept and almost a long shot to bank on… Do you know how many motivational speakers there are out there? Do you know how many there are right here n the city of Austin, TX? Do you realize how many people can cook, manage a business, crunch numbers, analyze data, organize an event, DJ a party??? There are so many people already doing the thing that you want to do…why would you have a shot at making it happen? There are so many, and there is a reason some of them get called while others do not. There is a reason why some of them are requested by certain groups or crowds. There are reasons behind all of this. They all have the potential to be successful without stepping on each other’s toes because they are all different. Find what you are about to embark upon…. if you haven’t done so already. Then find your difference. Find what sets you apart. What makes you different. You can only keep up an appearance for so long… so look towards your inner self to find what that difference is.
The transition into entrepreneurship isn’t an easy one because you are leaving everything you have known. You are walking away from a paycheck and venturing into the unknown. It will take a moment to develop your business and generate revenue. Even then, dependent upon the type of business you have gone into, you may have overhead and that overhead can absorb all your initial revenue. Don’t allow this to be discouragement. It isn’t going to come easy. If it was easy, everyone would do it.
Truth be told, everyone can do it…. But many will not put in the work. Don’t be one of the many. Get out there and fight for it. It is worth the fight… You are worth it. Remind yourself why you are doing this daily.
Get your business model and your game plan…. Initiate with confidence and strategy. You can get there. Don’t allow anything to stand in your way, but don’t expect it to be easy. You will have to fight for it.
