Do your business and succeed, or get off the pot

Business and financial uncertainty is certain... just like taxes are. And between you and me, if you are wondering how you can create a positive, lasting impact when your world may look and feel shaky instead of solid, here is the answer: You, the small business owner, need to become increasingly more certain, compassionate, and confident about your ability to add value to others’ lives. The thing is, when you lead with conviction (hence the title: "Do your business and succeed, or get off the pot"), you instill hope and confidence in your audience’s mind. What it boils down to is: change, for the better. If you have not already adopted the mantra I create my own economy, this is the first thing you need to do before you can consistently feel on solid ground. To put this mantra into practice, every day look for evidence that things are going really well, that you are surrounded by abundance. If your mission is to experience a strong and satisfying year, stop holding back or wasting your talents, by for example convincing difficult prospects or clients that they need to think and act differently. If you are a network marketer or coach, create a different theme for and book as many home parties or complimentary 15-minute strategy sessions, respectively, as possible but at the pace that keeps you functioning consistently at your best. Contrary to what you may be thinking, people do want more fun and focus... all year round!

Ask yourself: “How can I create more win-win opportunities?” More than ever, people who are getting increasingly more stressed will want (notice how I did not use the word “need”?) to receive massages (Attention: Holistic Practitioners), get organized (Attention: Professional Organizers), get their finances and taxes in order (Attention: Financial Planners), and to Smile and Succeed With More Ease (Attention: Coaches). Truth is too, the more your competitors give up during what seems scary times, the greater your chances of succeeding will be! And should you think you do not have time to do it all, here is a little tip: As I was writing this article, I had the “Do the Hustle” song playing in my head. Even though it is not my favorite, it kept me smiling and allowed me to get this task done in record time!

Re: THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IS ALL IN YOUR HEAD...RIGHT NOW!!! - Hey Barry, [quote="Barry Sarner":ev3dumxj]"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other one thing." - Abraham Lincoln WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS STATEMENT ???[/quote:ev3dumxj] It's true on two levels. Level 1 - Doing something for the first time to succeed. Level 2 - Coming back from failure and not resting until you've regained success. The scares maybe deep. The wounds tender to the touch. But it will always be man's resolve or lack there of that defines the limits he is willing to go to, to gain or regain succeed. Books, audios, videos, courses, seminars, webinars, & etc. are important and I can't get enough. But nothing can take the place of what a man must decide to do, deep down within himself, if he wants to succeed.

Re: How To Become An Angel Investor - I don't forsee myself being an angel investor anytime soon - but I would say that I would love to become an angel investor one day. Seeing others succeed off of my capital, and taking a return off of it would be fantastic. I derive a lot of my success from seeing others around me succeed and be happy.
Try with non-franchisee - If you are disillusioned with franchises why not look for a non-franchised business for sale. As you have found out a franchise is not guaranteed to succeed and like any other business, needs to have a lot of due diligence done on them before you consider buying one.
Re: Business Failure Rate – What is the Real Business Failure Ra - Dear Zeke, Thanks for the great tip! Your completely right about the money, in order to succeed in whatever business you do, you have to have a budget to start with and it must be calculated or else you have no business.
