SUCCESS FORMULAS (Part 17)

Sub-Topic: YOU DO THE CHOOSING.
Much of the conflict and frustration people experience in their lives can be traced directly to their financial well-being or the lack thereof. A true sense of accomplishment is always found within our inner selves. We appreciate the recognition afforded us for a job well done, but the knowledge that something worthwhile has been achieved comes only from ourselves. So many people have been deprived of the experience that makes this possible. Accomplishment for many people means outside approval. Others approve; therefore, it must be good. When they hear nothing, they assume failure. This either prompts them to stop trying or to do anything for applause. In more recent times, people have been more inclined to try to get out of work rather than to try to get something out of their work. This is understandable if it is seen as a symptom of the disassociation between person, process, and product. It is painful, in a psycho-spiritual sense, to commit our attention and energies to work that has no personal meaning associated with it. If we spend eight hours a day performing mundane tasks, at some point early in the process, our human spirit rebels. We want out. We daydream. We fantasize. You do the choosing. You should choose self-employment because the more you learn about it the more convinced you are that it offers many of the things you appreciate: independence, personal satisfaction, unlimited earning power. Being self-employed is a way of life radically different from anything you've ever done before. To be successful at it, you will have to make a real turn-about in how you both think and act. A small part-time business will allow you to gradually make the transition, but if you go full blast into a business of your own you will be quickly pressed to make sweeping changes in how you do things

You find out soon enough that in running your own business, there's no waiting for the go-ahead. In your own business, you make it all happen from start to finish. Anything as drastic as a change in the way you earn your livelihood is something that only you can choose for yourself. If you can't depend on your own convictions, you will fall short in being able to do all the things that go into making the business and yourself prosperous. Being in business for yourself is an all-consuming experience. You need to develop a variety of skills to make it all work. More important, your must have the will to make it work. You must move beyond daydreaming to implementation. It is a matter of purpose.
Why do you want to be self-employed?
To be your own boss?
To make a lot of money?
These are not purposes, they are outcomes. You should want to be self-employed because you believe that this mode of earning a livelihood provides the best opportunity to use your innate talents, retain personal autonomy over your life, reach people directly, maximize earning potential and perhaps offer a future opportunity for your children or other relatives. Success or failure in becoming an entrepreneur depends on you and others can only support your decision. It is your own actions and not the actions of others that matter most. It is also important to have very definite goals and expectations that will lead you to pursuing the self-employment path. Through persistent efforts, you can achieve all that you started out to do. Make all your efforts purposeful and interpret them in the context of how they can enhance your entrepreneurial ambitions.
