You As An Entrepreneur

Sales people and entrepreneurs are generally the highest paid professionals. Why is that? Because they have taken risks to get rewards. Most people shy away from these professions. Why, if they offer the greatest rewards do people not want to participate and have the same rewards for themselves? Because the reward isnt guaranteed. There is no lag and there are no safety nets. If your work doesnt produce results, then you dont get a reward, and the only person you can point your finger at, is the one who looks back at you in the mirror. Pretty scary for most people. Others thrive in this system and reap the huge rewards. In truth we are all sales people and entrepreneurs, we just dont realize it.

Think about that for a second. You are a sales person and you always have been. It is as natural as breathing. When you were a kid, you sold your parents on getting you candy, going to the movies, getting you the shoes that your favorite basketball star wears. You sold your friends on who to invite to the party. You sold your girlfriend/boyfriend on going out with you. When you got a job, you sold your boss on hiring you and youll sell him/her again to give you that promotion that you deserve. You have sold yourself to where you are today. The results that you have are those you have earned.

Are you happy with the results that you have? If not, who do you need to sell to improve them? I would say that you first need to sell yourself that you are worth those better results. This brings us to entrepreneurism. The managing of the big picture.

Who are you spending your time with? What keeps you from sleeping at night? What do you watch on TV? What do you spend your money on? All of these decisions are being managed by you. You have control over all of them. Throughout your entire life you have managed your circumstances to get the best results that you could. While the selling may be the day to day decisions, even when they are big, being an entrepreneur is the lifelong mentality that one needs to cultivate to be successful. The results that you are getting are directly tied to these decisions. Want better results? Change your decisions. Change your limits and change your desires!

If life is all about these small decisions, then changing your life is just a thought away.

Now that you know that your results are directly tied to the decisions that you make, what are you going to do with that power? I would challenge you to buy stock in your own success. Learn a new language, start a business, spend more time reading and learning than listening and judging. By making conscious decisions to change the way that you think about how you are living, you will find yourself more engaged in life. And after you figure out how easy success can be, help someone else create that kind of success as well!
