A Legitimate Work From Home Business Teaches Be, Do, Have
Be, do, have is an interesting philosophy that is really
quite troubling for new entrepreneurs. I remember when I first started down the
entrepreneurial path it was a very difficult concept to understand. It appears
to be backwards. When a person first starts a business, they are excited but
ultimately, in most cases, they are relatively clueless about what they are
doing. Being an entrepreneur, in so many ways, is about leadership. Being a
leader, in many ways, is about confidence, knowledge, and being someone others
can aspire to be. When first starting a business, these are definitely things
you don’t think that you have; to the extent of a leader anyway. A legitimate
work from home business should teach you otherwise.
What this saying “be, do, have” says to me is that in order
to be successful, in order to lead, we must first be. How can you be without
actually being? How can you “be” successful without a line of success or a
proven track record? That is the question. The answer is something I struggled
with as well early on. My first business was a real estate investment company.
I would market with direct mail, find people interested in selling their house,
and make an appointment to go meet them. I would knock on the door, shake their
hand, greet them with a friendly hello, and have no idea what to do next. I’m
sure the first few visits were mostly awkward for us all. However, as time went
on, each visit got easier and less awkward. Eventually, even before I had
closed one deal, I fancied myself pretty good at it. The point is, being a
leader is a mindset, not a result of action. Mindset is the very base of any
business, of any accomplishment, and of any great thing ever done. If you get
your mindset right, you will “be”. If you can be in a legitimate work from home
business, you will be successful. (I say legitimate because so many of the
businesses out there would be impossible to succeed in EVEN if you had the
right mindset.)
Next, the “do” portion comes into play. Doing is easier once
your mindset is in the right place. The mindset is what kept me knocking on
those doors, so I could get to the “doing” phase. At that point, you are
humming right along. You have the “be” (mindset), the “do” (action), and now
there is only one thing left that can happen; that will happen. The “have”.
The
“have” is a natural byproduct of the “be” and the “do”. If you get those two
down, the have will naturally follow. The phrase is interesting because
rational, logical thought says “Yes, but if I just HAD some results, or HAD
some money, I could be a leader easily and do everything.” Unfortunately, we
cannot do things out of order. This rational is, I believe, the single biggest
decider between those who succeed in business and those who don’t. Don’t
concentrate on how you wish it worked, or how you would like it to be.
Concentrate on being what you want to be in the now, in the present. Obtain
everything of that lifestyle you can and then do something about it. On the
back end, you will achieve the have. That is the beauty of it. It is exactly
that simple, and that hard. My name is Jeffrey Nelson and I truly understood
this cycle when I joined a legitimate work from home business back by an online
community of entrepreneurs
