Solopreneurs: The Secret to Failure
Written by Suzanne Evans
Let me just spill the beans for you... business success has almost nothing to do with business know-how and everything to do with mindset. The marketing pieces can be learned, and sometimes you can even delegate small parts of them out, but the deep core belief that it takes to manifest a BIG business is your central key to success.
You can think what you want, but if your business dream is not where you had imagined it would be, all the details in the world will not push you through to business success. I know because I have tried it. I have tried to do everything right and get all my marketing ducks in a row, but if my belief about what is possible for me was out of alignment, all those tools just sat there. Nothing much happened.
It's easy to blame everything else when things aren't going your way. I don't have a website or a team. I don't know where to market or how to write sales copy. All of that pales in the shadow of what you do believe is possible for your business!
"You can never earn in the outside world more than you earn in your own mind." -- Brian Tracy
You have to get a picture-perfect clear image of where you can be in three months, six months, or a year, and then with every action you take daily and every decision you make, the foundation must be that you KNOW this is where you are headed. Entrepreneurship is not for the weak. I know most of you are deep feeling, caring, giving people. The giving has to start with YOU! What do you believe for yourself? What stories of defeat do you keep whispering in your own ear?
The only reason you will not succeed is because of the story you are telling yourself. I wish you could see YOU from the view I have. All the hope, possibilities, brilliance, power and talent. Take that image and use it for the fuel to do your best work. You can not help more people living in the what if's and maybe's. We are about to approach a New Year. What will your new thoughts be?
What is your success story?nn(c) 2009 Suzanne Evans
