If you are reading this blog- you’re either
looking to start a home-based business or
already have a YTB business. If you are
looking to start a business, I would suggest
that before you jump in head first, that you
do some soul-searching about whether you are
really ready to commit yourself to this
business, or if you’re just looking for a
quick-fix.
There is certainly plenty of money to be
made with YTB, but for the majority of us,
it will take years and not just a few months
to make the money we need to make which will
allow us to work a home-based business
full-time. Even if you already are a
business-owner, I would encourage you to
think about whether you are a “wanna-be” or
an “entrepreneur”.
Wanna-be’s obsess about ideas.
Entrepreneurs obsess about
implementation.
Wanna-be’s seek a perfect plan.
Entrepreneurs execute and adjust the plan
later.
Wanna-be’s wait for their lucky break.
Entrepreneurs engineer 4, 5, 6 plans and
execute them in tandem,
wagering that at least one plan will get
traction.
Wanna-be’s fear looking stupid in front of
their friends.
Entrepreneurs willingly risk making fools of
themselves,
knowing that long-term success is a good
trade for short-term loss of dignity.
Wanna-be’s shield their precious ideas from
harsh reality, postponing the verdict of
success or failure until ’someday.’
Entrepreneurs expose their ideas to cold
reality as soon as reasonably possible.
Wanna-be’s put off practicing basketball
until they’ve got Air Jordan's.
Entrepreneurs practice barefoot behind the
garage.
Wanna-be’s think about the world in terms of
COULD and SHOULD.
Entrepreneurs think in terms of IS
and CAN BE.
From Perry Marshall's 12 Differences
Between Those Who Dream and Those Who Act
So, which are you? A Wanna-Be or an
Entrepreneur?
Here's a test:
How many books on network marketing do
you own?
How many conference calls are you on each
week?
How many people do you talk to about your
business each day?
What would you be willing to give and
sacrifice to succeed?
If the answer isn't "whatever it takes"- in
my opinion, you are just wasting your time.
If you aren't currently reading a book on
network marketing or personal development,
if you aren't on training calls, and/or you
aren't talking with or learning how to
improve your business on a DAILY
basis... you are a wanna-be.
If you blame others, a lack of money, a lack
of knowledge, and/or a lack of time
for your current situation...
you are a wanna-be.
What are the qualities of an
entrepreneur?
A willingness to spend their last dime on
training or advertising if necessary.
Refusal to wait for their sponsor to return
a phone call or e-mail before taking action.
Never complaining that they didn't make a
profit in their first few months in a
business.
Never putting all of their faith into one
system, but instead learning from many
systems.
Never complaining about the cost of growing
their business, they know it is a small
price to pay.
Never being "too busy" or "too tired" to
grow their business.
Never asking others if they think that they
can "really succeed" in a business.
Always willing to put in more work than they
initially get rewarded for.
What difference does any of this
make?
Wanna-be's make up the 97% of people
who fail in network marketing
Entrepreneurs are the 1% of network
marketers that you see on stage, in nice
cars, in nice homes, and are at the top of
their business.
For some of you, reading this will be an
affirmation- that you are on the path to
success.
Congratulations! Keep Up the Good Work!
Others of you are pretty mad right now...how
dare HE call ME a wanna-be!
Just one question:
What Are You Going To Do About It?
Those who are furious will just close this
window, and go back to doing things on their
own for a while…3 months later, they will
quit the business.
For many of you, however, this will be an
AH-HAH moment. One where
you realize that you are a wanna-be, but
have a burning desire to be an entrepreneur.
Why be an entrepreneur?
When you look to join a business...whose
team do you want to join?
The person who studies the industry, has a
positive attitude, has tasted success and
can teach you how to succeed? (the
entrepreneur)
or
The whiney, complainer, who doesn't know
much except for the canned sales pitch? (the
wanna-be)
Now you are probably asking...
Sir, can a wanna-be become an
entrepreneur?
Of Course!
I like to call wanna-be's with a desire to
become an entrepreneur...
