The Evolution Of The Entrepreneur

By blogger on

Many people discuss real estate, banking/financial institutions, and other common investments that are know to most entrepreneurs. However, because we are new entrepreneurs, we need to create NEW investments!

Many investors invest money and time into a project. When one buys a piece of real estate, one spends his/her time evaluating the property, discussing and negotiating terms, and preparing and signing contracts. After all of that time is invested, money now has to be invested to conclude the deal. These two elements are very common in the entrepreneurial world. Time and money; time and money; time and money! This is all entrepreneurs hear! You have to invest a lot of time and money to make this business work! I do not entirely agree with that common statement, but there is some truth to it. The point is, we as new entrepreneurs need to (at the risk of promoting a clich) THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.

You may be asking, WHATS THE POINT? GET TO THE POINT!! The point, my fellow business community members, is that if you/me/us/we ONLY invest time and money into a project, we are extremely limited in our choice of investment. The entire premise of being an entrepreneur is that we do not fall in line; we do not conform to the conventional; and we break boundaries and borders in order to pioneer an idea, product, or state of mind!

Keeping that in mind, many people are interested in the entertainment arts. In other words, many new entrepreneurs are interested in the music and acting industries. This is a GREAT road to travel! I respect and congratulate any person who wants to invest in these types of projects, not only as silent or active partner, but as the actual talent; the actual musician or actor/actress. However, I do NOT want to mislead. Entrepreneurs that have picked this road have a very hard and bumpy expedition in front of them, but, like any risky investment, the payoff can be HUGE!

Now, let’s tie these two points together. People who wish to undertake this type of venture need to invest more than just the traditional time and money! Do not be afraid! This additional commitment is what makes being a new entrepreneur lots of fun!

In addition to time and money, one has to invest two other things. First, one has to invest his/her TALENT. If you wish to pursue a music or acting career, your talent is your biggest asset! Whereas you capital may help you invest in a real estate project, your musical or acting abilities are your capital in the entertainment arts. Second, one must be willing to invest his/her HEART! That may sound cheesy, but truer words have never been spoken. Unlike a traditional investment, like real estate, emotional attachment to the project is a must! If you do not believe me, ask yourself this question, do you really expect people to buy, watch, or listen to your music/movie/stage performance if no feeling is involved? The correct answer is NO! Truthfully, how many people do you know listen to music they like or watch a movie they like without getting emotionally involved. THE ANSWER, ZERO! Everybody who likes the artist they are watching or listening to creates an emotional response from each person. Whether that response is sadness, happiness, thrill, excitement, mellowness, calmness, and/or motivation, to name a few; the point is an emotional response is created, and therefore, fans are created! NO FANS, NO MONEY, bottom line!

Besides investing you time, money, talent, and heart, you must act as an entrepreneur in this business to remain successful. If you are the artist, always remember that no matter how big the paycheck, your art is still a JOB! If you stop singing or acting, the money stops coming. Although it is true that royalties may trickle in from time to time, the main money is gone if you stop. We have all seen how people can make millions on one job, and be broke in just a few years. Is this how you want to live? How would you like to be a millionaire that IS WORRIED whether or not he/she will be broke next month?! The whole point of wealth is that one does not have to worry about money!

If you are an artist you also have to be an entrepreneur. When you first start out in the business, people may try to take advantage of you. Watch out for these people, because there will be more than you think. Does this mean that all agents and/or managers will try to take advantage of you? Of course not, but you do have to create income through more than just your talent. Think of yourself as a professional athlete without a contract. When a pro athlete gets injured, in most sports, he/she gets paid even if injured. The same is NOT true in your business! If you do not make a record, movie, etc., you do not get paid!

Making it big should be your first concern, but when money starts coming in, DO NOT ASSUME that it will continue forever. Many big musicians and actors spin their fame into clothing products, perfumes/colognes, and restaurants. Investments of that magnitude may be further in the future, but chance favors the well-prepared mind! You do not have to be a millionaire to invest in real estate, an internet business, or a magazine; just to name a few ideas.

Musicians and actors/actress need to be entrepreneurs their whole career. The best way to avoid risk is to diversify. If you do not make a record, movie, etc. this year, wouldn’t it be nice to know that your magazine endorsement and your real estate investments are going to pay your bills for the next three years?

A few of the above written paragraphs may sound cynical, but for those of you new entrepreneurs that chose this path, you have a long, hard journey ahead and sugar-coating it will make it harder. If you go into this investment project with the mindset of an entrepreneur and the talent of an artist, you will do fine!

Lessons Learned From Entrepreneur Success Stories

By blogger on

Youths who want to make something of their lives are often attracted to entrepreneur success stories. Unlike literature and fiction, entrepreneur success stories are stories of real people who have earned billions of dollars with their creativity, confidence, determination, and vision. They have chosen the paths that very few dare to take. They have even created their own paths to success. Entrepreneur success stories detail courageous people with extremely positive attitudes and strong faith in their abilities and efficiency. Successful entrepreneurs cared little about others opinions and worked hard to get to the top. There are many things to learn form entrepreneur success stories of personalities like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Richard Branson, Henry Ford, and many others. Below are a few tips:

Positive attitude: Entrepreneur success stories place importance on a positive attitude. An entrepreneur may face many problems and even failures before reaching his goal. However, at no point should he or she foster a negative attitude. A positive attitude is the key to success.

Think beyond failure: Always expect success. It is natural to be afraid whenever one diverts from the conventional path and tries to do something new. Entrepreneur success stories provide much needed inspiration and resolution that focuses on innovation as the key. Therefore, if one believes his or her decision is the right one, then he or she should overcome fear and think about the positive results of the decision.

Perseverance: It pays off to be adamant. Entrepreneur success stories advise individuals to be perseverant and determined. One is bound to see bad days if he is an entrepreneur. One must understand, however, that they are just a part of the game and should not affects decisions or deter ones goals.

Strive for better quality and service: An entrepreneur should always try to better his services or products. Substandard products or services never attract steady and faithful customers. Entrepreneur success stories explain how different successful entrepreneurs constantly better their products and services.

Good will or brand value: Entrepreneur success stories tell about the importance of creating a brand or a good will in the consumers market. People should know products by name and also by their excellence. A good reputation and brand awareness will go great lengths to increase business opportunity.

The Value In Journal Writing

By blogger on

Journal writing is a voyage to the interior.”

For the past two and half years, journaling is one of those wonderful simple strategies that I have incorporated into my daily life.

Now you might be wondering what could anyone possibly be writing about, every single day. I asked myself that same question when I started. Furthermore, at the time, I also felt that I did not have important or valuable things to write about. What erroneous thinking on my part!

At first, when I attempted to journal, my journal entries were more like grocery lists; “Today, I did…” ” Today I saw…” “Tomorrow I need to…” you get the picture.

With time I found the experience to be most enjoyable and rejuvenating. Soon, journaling allowed me to go in the world within and to make very interesting discoveries about self.

Today, journal writing for me is an important personal development strategy that allows me to grow. It is a time for reflection, a space to ask the more important questions about self and life, and an opportunity to do a mental and emotional dump. An outpouring of emotions can leave you feeling relieved of stress and more peaceful. There is considerable evidence that writing has huge health benefits. It is a great way to unwind after the day.

I like to journal twice a day, in the morning and at night.

Early in my day I like to set my intentions for what my day will look like and what I want to accomplish. I follow that up with whatever personal development theme I am currently working on; for example: courage, beliefs, change, and so on.

At the end of my day I like to reflect on the key points of the last 18 hours or so. These are not necessarily major happenings, but rather any AHA/insights that came up, meaningful conversations had, interesting things that I read and so on. I also believe it is very important that folks take a minute or two to note 5 successes for the day. It does not matter how big or small. What matters is that you start acknowledging yourself for the things you do well. Too many individuals are quick to put themselves down for the things they do not get done or do poorly. Yet, these same people ignore giving themselves credit. Recognizing your strengths and abilities are key to growing, not only your self esteem and confidence, but to creating your wealth.

I believe that writing about our day is something very important that should be taught to children at a young age. You could have a young child do a drawing of his/her day and explain the drawing to you. It is not about knowing your child’s secrets but rather have them see themselves through a clearer lens. Journaling at any age allows one to gain clarity.

I have found journaling to be a critical activity for anyone who wants to pursue the areas of personal development and self-improvement. It is about getting a deeper understanding of self and of others. It allows you to sort out issues and solve problems, personal and business. The entire writing process provides a forum where you can learn to grow and accept not only yourself but others as well. Journaling increases the individual’s level of personal responsibility.

Journaling is a form of record keeping. It is a way to reread about ourselves and to see how far we have come. We can recognize how our beliefs have evolved over time. Writing is a building block to our life story.

There are many kinds of journals you can keep. The type and format you choose does not matter, as long as you start the process. You can be writing a few simple lines or several pages.

Some folks choose to keep a general journal. Others will choose to keep specific journals such as dream journals, reading logs, health and healing journals, networking opportunities and ideas.

Personally, for the past nine months, apart from a general type of journal, I have kept a Gratitude journal. Once or perhaps several times a day I write down what I am currently grateful for. This simple activity has had a profound impact for me. Each day I become more aware of the incredible blessings that I receive. I see the miracle in the smaller things. Being grateful brings joy to my life.

The very successful business people that I have come to know in network marketing have all kept journals and continue to do so. Journal writing has allowed them to identify their core desires, skills, interests, and values. They are able to break down problems and arrive at solutions. New insights are gained. New connections are made. In fact, journaling has helped them create more wealth in their life.

Whatever your chosen path may be, I highly recommend journal writing as a daily practice.

What Is The Most Lethal Weapon For A Home Based Entrepreneur

By blogger on

Letting go helps you grow.

Home based entrepreneur pros know taking time off from work is a quick way to create good things.

When attached you are bound. When detached you attract high energy people, ideas and circumstances to make your dreams come true.

Home Based Entrepreneur Champ

A home based entrepreneur champ acts “as if”. This means you treat your home based opportunity as if you already were in possession of your goals.

As if you come from a place of authority, a place of posture.

Practice feeling and acting as if your dreams have manifest. This helps you detach from outcomes, which makes it easier to let go and step away from the laptop.

You find your most inspirational ideas if you aren’t so busy looking for these ideas. You attract the perfect business partner away from the laptop.

Taking time off from work lightens you up, making you a magnet to money and other good things.. Call it the law of attraction, or karma, or the law of sowing and reaping. By letting go and coming from a calm, confident place, not feeling the need to work all day long, you become magnetic to awesome circumstances.

Law of Attraction in Action

Whether you are a cash gifting coach, MLMer or professional blogger, you need to take time off. The body recovers during rest periods. The mind is refreshed. You attract all you need to attract during rest.

You attract or repel in each moment. You are a living, breathing magnet. Take time off. Lighten up. Build your attractive field, attracting high energy things.

Become a cash gifting winner. Become an authority home based entrepreneur.

Get a life. Seriously.

Step away from the computer. Let the Universe work without your ego’s interference. Pull back. Attract. Rest. Achieve balance. Life a rich life.

Gain spiritual, material and mental riches.

Do you take extended time off daily? Do you step away from the computer after 8 or 10 hours? If not, you might be spinning your wheels. Working hard sucks. Working intelligently, effectively and persistently rocks.

People achieve a lot by working little, so don’t be too quick to brag about your hard work.

In the same respect you gotta work. I give you no licence to coast each day, doing little, and partying or sleeping a lot.

Smart, persistent, light, effective work, that’s the goal. And closing your office doors after a set time daily, NO MATTER WHAT!
