Getting prepared to run your enterprise entity is a huge
step indeed. If you are to be successful, you must answer
one very essential question before you take one, single
step: Are you ready to begin?
Don't answer this question simply on the basis of your
"eagerness." While you may be overwhelmingly ecstatic
about your decision to start a business, that cannot be the
indicator you use in determining the success factor. Do you
know what the "success factor" really is? Why, it's Y-O-U.
It's you! The Success Factor has nothing to do with
capital, networking, legalese, or anything else. Of
course, you might think that it does, but the reality is
that all of those things are just a fraction of the overall
conduction and development of your company. Nothing will
gel for you correctly without your express involvement.
So contrary to what many may think, money, or your capital
isn't the bottom line as we so often say. The bottom line
is really you. Your earning potential is all up to you and
no one else. How well you network, or relate to others and
your connections in the world are all results of what YOU
do. The very operation of your day-to-day business
activities are all an extension of you. Try this
experiment. Imagine being at a business conference in your
field of expertise, or the area of business you'd like to
be involved with. Keep in mind, you're viewing this as a
motion picture experience. Now remove yourself from the
action. What happens? There's a whole lot of networking
happening, and speakers saying things to get people
motivated, but something is definitely wrong with the
picture.
The problem is, you are watching everything happen. You are
not a part of the action, not even in the slightest. You
are simply being a spectator.
Is this what you want?
You want to be in the thick of it. You crave the
experience of excitement, and the buzz of accomplishment.
You are the catalyst to making it all happen. So what does
this mean?
It's time for a reality check. Starting a new business is
going to require a completely different mind set; a
brand-new set of skills is needed, many of which you may be
unfamiliar with. There is nothing wrong with this, only
that you now need to develop yourself into the kind of
entrepreneur you long to be. It isn't done simply by
wanting it intensely or having the money to do it. If it
was that easy, more people would be successful business
owners. The place you must begin, before you actually open
the doors of your enterprise to the public, is to do
research on yourself. That's it; you've got to work on you
as it will greatly increase the odds in your favor of being
victorious in your quest for entrepreneurship.
