Future Thoughts

What are the goals or visions that you have set before you? What type of plan or course of action have you put in place to achieve these goals? These are just a few questions that we must ask ourselves when developing a business. A business is merely an idea. An idea that has developed a desire to become manifested into reality. In order to produce the idea into it's physical form we must possess a burning desire that cannot be broken. That desire has taken people from being broke and homeless to powerful and wealthy. There are countless stories of people who faced many adversities throughout life but their desire to pursue a goal outweighed the circumstances. There's a quote that says- " You are either a prisoner of your past or a pioneer of your future". Make a decision. Please feel free to leave a comment. I will see you at the top!

Faith Or Fear

When starting a business, one has to burn all bridges of turning back and press forward to the vision that initially caused the desire of one's mind to see the physical manifestation of an idea. Many people fail because there desire is not strong enough to persevere through the obstacles that will arise when starting a business. Henry Ford said, " Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal." Extreme focus is a must! Having faith that your idea or vision will come to pass must supersede the thoughts of naysayers and negative minded people. There's a quote that says, " You will either live by faith or suffer from the consequences of your doubt." Remember, everything you don't have is because someone talked you out of it. That someone could be yourself . As always please feel free to post some feedback. Thanks! I will see you at the top!

Study to show thyself approved

"With all thy getting,get understanding."(Proverbs 4:7) The road to success requires an extreme amount of focus and determination. But, without proper planning and studying the minds and paths of others who have become successful, we merely fool ourselves into thinking that we can have what they have. Most successful people have experienced a period in entrepreneurship called delayed gratification. This is where the time and effort has been focused on learning and building a small idea into a lucrative business while also understanding all things require time. We can replace money, but not time. That's why it is imperative to understand your craft and to remain focused and diligent. As always please reflect upon the statements made and respond accordingly. Remember, wealth lies within the actions of today not the expectations of tomorrow!

Three Stages

1. The Risk Stage- Stepping out into the unknown.

2. The Ridicule Stage- Doom and gloom stories from people we know(friends, family,news). This can form self-doubt when attempting to accomplish what most would deem impossible.

3. The Reward stage- Tremendous power and wealth. This is only rewarded to those who diligently seek to become successful and refuse to quit at any cost!

Please leave any comments that relate to these three stages and what they mean to you personally.
