Several years ago I recall reading an article. In it the writer listed some of the common threads that bind those who succeed in business.
What he found was that those who succeed made the conscious decison that they will continue to forge ahead in spite of any obstacles that may have appeared. They did not allow cashflow problems to stop them. They ignored family issues. The moved past betrayals and disappointments. They overcame doors slammed in their faces.
I love that. I love it when folks decide that “Hey, the next guy is no smarter than I am and if he could do it, so can I”.
When I first decided to start a house cleaning business, I recall being on a forum where a man and a woman both tried to feed me with all types of negativity. They had a million and one reasons why my business would likely fail.
Guess what? My company is now two years old, thriving and growing. And the woman? Her business imploded not long after she tried to convince me that mine would fail. The man? He’s in his 60′s still cleaning houses (as opposed to showing business growth by hiring some employees).
Ignore naysayers. Determine in your heart that regardless of what comes or what goes or what problems you may encounter, you will not give up until your business is exactly where you want it!
