People who own their own businesses radiate confidence, wealth, and just can't hide their free spirits. They don't punch a clock and don't answer to anyone but themselves. We see them behind the wheels of their fancy cars and living in those big houses and think: "sure, he can afford those things-he owns his own business" and business must be booming.
But why, if we know that owning your own business is the only true way to be successful and self-reliant are we so scared to take even consider building our own?
Go ask any of your friends if they would be interested in joining you in a home based business - without any preparation they will give you at list five reasons why it's not going to work. They have never done it, they have never known anybody who'd tried it, but they know for sure that "You are going to lose everything on that."
Why do we act this way? What happened in our past that we've become so conditioned to fail? Why is the failure so obvious and understandable for us? When has it become a default outcome of any situation?
It's a hard question to answer but take a look at the way we all learn things and you'll begin to see a pattern.
The entire concept behind the Prussian System-our system of education-is to make reliable employees out of everyone.
We are taught throughout school and college that the only option we have to become a valuable member of the society - is to become a good employee, to get a job and to spend more than forty years slaving for somebody else and, hopefully,we willearn a retirement that will allow us to quietly die without disturbing our kids and asking them for money.
We are taught that the only way available to us to express ourselves is to become somebody else's worker, to be dependent on somebody and to be reworded in life for satisfying somebody else.
We are told that there is nothing un-dignifying about that, quite opposite, receiving a pat on the back and a few bucks from your boss is a good thing, mainly because this is the only way to make a living.
Do you ever wonder what happened to all of those crazy dreams you had when you were little? Did you ever dream about being a filing clerk, a corporate accountant, or your boss's lackey? I doubt it. You wanted to be a race car driver or maybe a pilot, didn't you?
Throughout our early education we are repeatedly told that those fantasies are impractical, unreliable, and a waste of time. We never going to be what we want to be and if we do some day get there, we can never make money doing that!
Before you know it you are already employed by somebody and already complaining about not being able to afford the lifestyle you want and the things you want. Few years down the road it becomes normality for you and next thing you know you are teaching you kids to follow your steps.
You know it's true. You're parents shaped you into what you are today just as you are shaping your children. But what will happen if you break that cycle and turn your future around?
By working for yourself you can take your life back and regain the future you always wanted.
It so scary! Mainly because it's something new, something you've never done before.
Especially something like an Internet based business, with all the hype and rumors about it!
To be able to take that big step, you need to expand your "comfort zone."
How do we learn anything in life?
We learn by repeatition, just like when you were learning to write. Remember? It was hard to begin with but now you don't even think about it.
That's the same way you learned to talk, to read, to play, and even to make money.
Through repetition you become who you are as well.
Maybe the only thing that gets you through your day is thinking that the position you are in now is only temporary. You drag yourself to work early in the morning, smile and make jokes with a boss you don't respect and don't really care for, you listen to your co-workers as they gripe about the same things that keep you up at night, all the time dreaming of that big break you're going to get a little ways down the road.
Time passes unnoticed and one day you wake up to find that you've become just another accountant, or just another engineer, or just another clerk. You even drive the same car, dress the same way, eat the same things, and frequent the same bars, clubs, and vacation spots as other people that share your vocation. You've become a caricature, a parody.
Repetition teaches us the thoughts and actions that define who we are and separates the aspects of our lives in familiar and unfamiliar.
You'll always feel comfortable doing familiar things but when you attempt anything unfamiliar your body delivers a dose of adrenalin to your brain and makes you feel anxious.
A minuscule amount of adrenalin can change the way you think and act. Don't let a chemical choose your destiny!
Tony Robbins once said that "it's in the moment of making a decision when the destiny is formed."
But you are not going to make a decision about doing anything unfamiliar because of that adrenalin in your blood. Like an airplane on autopilot you will be getting back to what is familiar and to what you are accustomed to.
Your friends and family will gladly help you with this task!
Look around at the people you call friends. It's kind of interesting that you don't really hang around anyone who makes much less than you do or anyone who makes much more. Studies have found that a person's incomes can often be figured as an average of the incomes of their seven closest acquaintances.
This means that you can't really go to a friend and ask advice about how to make a six figure salary-not unless your friend already does. They just won't know how to answer you and will most often reply that "it can't be done" or will tell you to get your head out of the clouds.
And you will gladly use their opinion to justify your decision. It's much easier for you to continue doing what you are doing, even though you don't like it and deep inside you feel that you deserve a better life and more money.
"People are having a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown they prefer suffering that is familiar. Sound like you? Thich Nhat Hanh wrote those words over a hundred years ago but they could just have easily been written last week, and about you.
So, there you are, after having heard about Global Resorts Network, after having watched numerous testimonials, after having studied everything about this business, you are still sitting there and worrying: "What if I still don't know something, what if there is something I need to find out before I get started, what if, what if, what if"
Let me tell you a story.
When I just started practicing Tae Kwon Do, before my first tournament, (I was in the orange belt rank back then) I went to talk to my coach and I said: "Master Shilkaitis (that was his name), I think I might want to participate in sparring, but I still feel that I'm not ready yet and I'm not good enough." And he said: "You will never feel that you are absolutely 100% ready! It's just the matter of finding strength and desire to win and overcoming your fear! Plus without actually sparring with somebody you will never know how good you are!"
I did compete and, with a spectacular roundhouse kick that left my opponent unconscious, I won third place. I was so nervous at the time that I can't even remember how it all happened.
Having me talk to you all day won't do any good. Either you will decide to take the next step or you will fall back into your old comfortable ways and never stray outside your comfort zone.
Nothing will change on its own! If you continue doing what you've been doing, you will continue getting the results you've been getting!
Change your life today!
It will be scary in the beginning, it will feel very uncomfortable and strange, but that's when you know that you are changing things!
Choose to live the life you want to live!
Maybe the next time you hear someone's jealous remarks about being able to afford those fancy things, they'll be talking about you! - 15254
