揧our time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.?br />
Steve Jobs
When all is said and done and the dust has settled, it is the risk-takers who win in business and life. I have immense respect for those who took that leap of faith only to find their idea not to work out. They followed their heart and chose to go down a path that only a few are willing to embrace. Like Jobs said, 揾ave the courage to follow?(your) intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become.?There are thousands of underpaid and unhappy people who are stuck in cubicles ten hours a day. They抮e a dime a dozen.
This office is mostly against their will and, despite having goals; they never end up taking action as to following their dreams. Everybody has dreams, though some can抰 take those perceptions on life and turn them into something great. To executive a business and be a true entrepreneur, there must be passion, there must be a willing to work as hard as necessary, there must be a desire to work on the weekends, and most importantly, there must be a desire to learn.
Small business has trouble defining the word vacation.
Becoming A Geek:
If you want to become a true entrepreneur and make the dreams and goals which you have set forth a reality, it is imperative that you become a 揼eek.?Although some don抰 associate the word with positive connotation, I believe that being referred to as a 揼eek?to be an immense compliment. Warren Buffett said it best:
揃eware of geeks bearing formulas?
Moreover, 揼eeks?are 揼eeks?because they hold a strong passion regarding the job they are doing or the accomplishment they are chasing. They term is more associated with success than failure.
Getting back to the Jobs quote, the leader of Apple mentions that your intuition already knows where you should be and what you are capable of accomplishing. However, to most, their intuition breeds more fear than inspiration. This is because, at an early age, we are taught to be employees. Thus, any other passions should be considered hobbies.
Though, what if you could have the best of both worlds?
When you combine passion and business, the outcome can prove to be tremendous and beyond initial belief. If you have a true enthusiasm regarding undertaking a particular endeavor, the mere thought of being engaged in this opportunity will light a fire. In turn, liking what you do will naturally make you driven and, just as important, the work and subsequent accomplishments will provide fulfillment and happiness in your life.
When all is said and done, it is tenacity and work ethic which win at the game of small business. Tenacity and work ethic are more important than intelligence, any procured business funding, your vendors or any factors related to your business. I like the quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, 揑f you would create something, you must be something.?br />
The main deterrent for individuals regarding opening a small business is the fear of failure. Forget about the word 揻ailure,?but it in the back of your mind, work hard and you抣l succeed.
