Business Opportunity - The Vehicle In Pursuit of Happiness
Business Opportunity - The Vehicle In Pursuit of Happiness
In the movie, Will Smith plays a stressed out husband and father. His job is selling expensive, overpriced medical scanners and he barely makes ends meet with his sales. One day he sees how insurance brokers live and decides he wants to become a broker. In the process of pursuing his dream, he loses his home, his wife, and his friends.
Despite the hardships he never loses sight of his dream. He stays focused on the tasks he needs to accomplish and he does them to the best of his ability. He went above and beyond the expected requirements every day. When he was disappointed he tried harder and looked for better ways of doing the job.
He worked for 6 months for the brokerage for the chance of getting a job. He was not paid one cent for his time at the brokerage during this time. He was competing with 19 other people, who were also vying for the one job that would be awarded at the end of the 6 months.
Right to the very end he was plagued by one obstacle after another. He never quit, he never complained and he never stopped trying. He won the job and very nearly self sabotaged but, in the end he accepted the position. The movie was based on a true story.
If you fancy yourself an entrepreneur and are thinking of starting your own home based business, watch the movie! Once you have seen it, ask yourself what you would be willing to do to make your business a success. Consider whether you have the desire and the tenacity to do whatever needs to be done to achieve your goals.
Owning a business is not a fanciful hobby if you want to be successful. The Internet offers a way for the average person to start a home based business at a fraction of the cost of a regular business. The biggest mistake that online entrepreneurs make is to take their business for granted.
I have been one of those people who takes the business for granted. I was not alone and the trend continues today. I say trend because I see people every day making the same mistakes I made. Most business opportunity online can be started for less than $5000 start up and small monthly maintenance costs.
Because of the low costs people tend to think of online business as disposable. The perception is that you can start a business and make money with little effort. So often the expectation is instant riches. When that doesn't happen it is discarded for the next great business opportunity.
Everyone wants to believe that you can get rich quick but sooner or later reality sets in. Get off the roller coaster and stop jumping. Get serious about making money online and find the business that is right for you. Be prepared to work your business like the real business opportunity that it is.

Business opportunity and education are the two most common ways that entrepreneurs use to create the financial future that people dream of. They are the vehicles that people most often turn to in their pursuit of happiness. Money does not make people happy but it does relieve the stress of not having any. I watched the movie, "In Pursuit of Happiness", last night. That is one inspirational movie that every entrepreneur should watch before considering a business opportunity.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
