Creating Opportunity

by

This small article came to my inbox this morning and on reading its content it resonated with all that I speak about and also what I have to offer others in life to allow them to create an opportunity better than the current life they may lead.

Its so important to look at opportunities that present themselves in our lives regularly and then take the appropriate action.

Creating Opportunity by Jim Rohn
An enterprising person is one who comes across a pile of scrap metal and sees the making of a wonderful sculpture. An enterprising person is one who drives through an old decrepit part of town and sees a new housing development. An enterprising person is one who sees opportunity in all areas of life.

To be enterprising is to keep your eyes open and your mind active. It’s to be skilled enough, confident enough, creative enough and disciplined enough to seize opportunities that present themselves… regardless of the economy.

A person with an enterprising attitude says, “Find out what you can before action is taken.” Do your homework. Do the research. Be prepared. Be resourceful. Do all you can in preparation of what’s to come.

Enterprising people always see the future in the present. Enterprising people always find a way to take advantage of a situation, not be burdened by it. And enterprising people aren’t lazy. They don’t wait for opportunities to come to them; they go after the opportunities. Enterprise means always finding a way to keep yourself actively working toward your ambition.

Enterprise is two things. The first is creativity. You need creativity to see what’s out there and to shape it to your advantage. You need creativity to look at the world a little differently. You need creativity to take a different approach, to be different.

What goes hand in hand with the creativity of enterprise is the second requirement: the courage to be creative. You need courage to see things differently, courage to go against the crowd, courage to take a different approach, courage to stand alone if you have to, courage to choose activity over inactivity.

And lastly, being enterprising doesn’t just relate to the ability to make money. Being enterprising also means feeling good enough about yourself, having enough self-worth to want to seek advantages and opportunities that will make a difference in your future. And by doing so, you will increase your confidence, your courage, your creativity and your self-worth—your enterprising nature.

Focusing and Acting on Your Dream ~ by Les Brown

by

I was reading some recent articles and stories and came across this one and really wanted to share this as it resonates with me in achieving greater results in life.
Enjoy the read…….

Whatever dream you decide to go after, whether it is a family, or a career goal, you must consciously decide that it is your life’s mission. Benjamin Disraeli said, “The secret of success is constancy to purpose.” You must go at it obsessively and set high standards for yourself along the way. There is no room for compromise when you are charting a course for your life or your career.

I spoke to a group of sharp young people not long ago, and when I finished, some of the fellows came up and said they were interested in becoming professional speakers. They invited me to go out with them that evening to have a good time. These fellows looked as though they knew how to have a serious good time.

I had planned to work on my delivery that night by listening to the audio of my speech. I record my speeches and listen to them later so I can study what works and what does not work with a particular audience. In effect, I listen to the audience listening to me.

I was tempted to go with these fellows, and back when I was their age I probably would have given in to that temptation and gone. But I have become more disciplined and more committed to my craft. A friend of mine, Wes Smith, wrote a humor book called Welcome to the Real World, and in it he offered advice to fresh high-school and college graduates. He had a line in the book that pertains to the situation I faced that night. It said, “Having a drink with the boys after work every night is a bad idea. Notice that the boss doesn’t do it. That is why he is the boss, and they are still the boys.”

Wes told me that he wrote that line with one particular group of hard-partying young businessmen in mind, and five years after the book came out, he ran into one of them. The guy volunteered that he’d read that line in Wes’s book and decided never to go drinking after work again. It paid off, he said. He had risen to a vice-presidency at a savings and loan.

In my drive to become a public speaker, I developed that kind of focus, too. There is not a lot of time for hard partying if you are pursuing greatness. It was not that these young fellows weren’t serious about their interest in professional speaking, but they were just as serious about having a good time. I don’t believe they were focused on their goals. They were seeking a profession, but they were not on a mission to make a dramatic difference in the world. I am. You should be too.

Rather than the party crowd, I prefer to seek out people with knowledge that might be useful. I like to find out what books successful and intelligent people are reading. I want access to the information that contributes to their success and intelligence

Entrepreneurs Make Bold Decisions In Life In Order To Create Success.

Make Bold decisions in life which allow you to move forward . Well how do you do this? Identify the decision for you and what is it you want, then gather the information so you can then start the move forward! Source : BFE

Decisions are important because they are what we use to direct our life and a tool to create everything we have and experience. Bring about self confidence and self esteem! Source: BFE

Lean from the experts!
Why continuous learning? Consider these facts…

1) The average person will increase their salary by only 2-3% annually.

2) Each year inflation increases by approximately 2-3% annually.

3)That means that, without lifelong learning, it’s virtually impossible for the average person to get ahead.
However…

1) Top Achievers, people who are continually learning and growing, DOUBLE their income every 3-5 years.

2) This is why the top 10-20% earns more than the bottom 80%! To separate yourself from the pack, you often need to know just one additional skill…and that will make all the difference in your pay scale.

Info on Achieving Financial Independence – Polaris Global

by

We have talked about how important it is to take the entrepreneurial leap and stop climbing the corporate ladder.

Now that you’re ready to take action and leave the daily grind behind, how are you going to find the right, profitable, legitimate business?

First, beware of business advertisements that make unrealistic promises, selling you on the concept of “overnight wealth and success”.

When you find someone with a business that interests you, spend a little time to get to know the person.

Ask the right questions and be sure their business offers the following 3 things:
1. Profitable Products

Look for high-priced, big profit products that deliver exceptional value. Why?

Because it will take you the same amount of time, money and energy to sell a product with a small commission as it will to sell a product that can make you several thousand per sale.
2. Back-End Sales

Make sure the business has a back-end product line that increases in price, value, and profit. Why?

Because your repeat customers will make you bigger profits on their second, third and fourth purchases.

3. Residual Income

It is important that you are rewarded, as a business owner, and have the opportunity to create true wealth.

The only way true wealth is created is through passive, residual income.  That’s income that you do not have to work for every day.

That’s true financial freedom.

In the meantime, if you want to see an example of a business with high-profit products, serious back-end potential, plus residual income,give us a call!

Finding Your North Star & Asking Your Future Self

by

What Is It For You?…

1. Statistics show that the common denominator between successful people is that just days before their business or life exponentially increased and began showing signs of improvement, they felt futility of their hard work and had ‘thoughts’ at one time or another of stopping….but thankfully they didn’t!

Imagine this for yourself!

Don’t quit, even when it feels like hard work, or you’re under valuing your efforts and your self critique is high. Keep going, you could just be nearing the ‘Breakthrough’ to your own Success!

2. Entrepreneurs believe in themselves, even when no one else does, and, they cannot explain why they believe in themselves because it’s a faith that comes from inside beyond words or justification.

Every time a successful business person is interviewed and asked ‘what kept you going’ or ‘what made you know this was a winner?’, the answer is the same……..’I believed it could happen and then I found the way to make it happen’.

Believe in yourself, even if no one else does. Dare to allow your dreams be the barometer that guides you from week to week as you discover your way to success.

Success is different for everyone, so don’t compare what other’s are doing as their dreams are theirs and Your Dreams are Yours. Your dreams are no less important than any one else’s!

Are You Stuck In The Herd…..I Was And Was Not Aware Of It Either!

by

As humans there has been much discussion and documentation to suggest that we get caught up in “the herd” and are in fact a part of “the herd”.  People within “the herd” demonstrate herd like behavior and do not like to see others attempt to move faster or breakaway from the herd, this creates fear and uncertainty amongst the group.

When considering to no longer be a part of the JOB/EMPLOYED Herd, not only do we have to deal with critiques from others in the JOB/EMPLOYED Herd we may have left, we also have to deal with the naysayers because, when we leave the JOB/EMPLOYMENT, we’re leaving the herd.

I personally have never been one to be in agreeance with others all the time, however allowed myself to be caught up in the herd and with the masses. I continually strived for success by working harder and longer to achieve the result I was looking to achieve.

The problem with this was that someone else was in control; gave the direction, then did not follow through; set the targets, without a plan and raise the bar increasing the goals, then moving the goal posts.

I realised I deserved more, deserved better in life than where I was. I was not going to achieve what I wanted to achieve. So I went in search of something that was going to allow me to live the life I was looking to create. Be in control!

It was evident to me that when I decided to depart from the herd, some of my close friends and work associates made fun of and mocked my decision to  go it alone. I felt that many of these close friends and work associates were surprised with the choices and decisions I was making and would like nothing more than for me to stay within the herd!

My actions make them question themselves, can the grass be greener? Could this lead me to greater pastures elsewhere? These individuals want me to stay with them in the herd, that way they too can feel strength within themselves and that they then played some role in the sabotage of my opportunity. Self sabotage is an instinct that many individuals unknowingly undertake on themselves and project onto others, when faced with challenges or uncertainty in life. Many individuals will do whatever it takes to keep others apart of their very own herd, which makes them feel in control, that they are a leader and influencer within this herd.

I chose to leave the herd; so your comments and criticism I chose to not allow into my world.

I choose today to stand alongside and on the shoulders of Entrepreneurs!

What can you do to make changes in your life to get out of the HERD?

What Does It Take In Order To Make A Change

by

Well the Question Asked By Many….

In your quest for abundance, whether it be spiritual, financial, emotional, etc…who do you listen to?

Most people listen to others who are NOT successful…people who are negative and disbelieving of happiness and joy. My question to you is: Who do you listen to?

I suggest that if you want to be happier than you’ve ever been, enjoy the highest level of emotional well-being, experience dynamic physical health and realize financial freedom that you listen to those who have already achieved all that.

Wow! What a concept…listen to those who already have what you want.

You know all those wealthy and happy people that are propped up in our society? They didn’t get there by listening to people who are not living their dreams. They got there by listening to those who are living their dreams.

If you can finally grasp this secret of success, you are one step closer to achieving all that you’ve ever dreamed.

Entrepreneurs accept educated risk and are able to make big decisions quickly once they have all the information. They make a decision and take some risk. No successful entrepreneur ever accomplished anything significant by playing it safe! Stop waiting for the perfect time, the perfect opportunity, or the perfect situation. Take decisive action now and stop procrastinating.
