Entrepreneurship , for the most part, is a journey to be travelled by those not feint of heart.

On the ever sought after road to success, weather it be offline,

in the humdrum of mainstream society , or here in cyber space, 

It will be a long and gruelling quest for the prize.

 

Your own business requires overcoming curveballs , 

a good measure of blood sweat and tears,

and the unavoidable “growing pains” of  your

baby business learning to crawl.

 

It requires the willingness to dedicating  long hours grasping ,

understanding , strategising and processing new information,

and then.....

Applying it!

 

Every day of your life  will be spent on this.

For a long time.

 

It can take several tries and fails before you even hit on the right business niche that resonates with your long term life ambitions, financial expectations,

hopes and dreams.

 

The truth is, once you decide to leave the comfort zone of having a boss to being a boss, you will be tested above and beyond all boundries and limitations.

 

There will be days when you feel scared, alone and perhaps even overwhelmed.

 Deals fall through, people you thought you could rely on let you down,

promotions or products you anticipated to hit a home-run, bomb out ......

 

During  those times, and I assure you, there will be many, there really isn’t much you can do, other than keep your head up like your nose is bleeding and keep moving forward.

 

If you take two steps back and one forward again, dont call it failure, call it the cha-cha!

 

Having a successful mindset is imperitive to getting what you want in life.

Possibly even more important than business acumen .

 

I like to keep my mind fed with food for positive thought.

Mind food that nourishes and strengthens me to do another “round”.

 

To dance that cha-cha baby!

 

I leave you with these awesome inspiring , motivating quotes and hope that they sustain you on days when you need that extra little boost before to get your game on.

 

Enjoy and go get ‘em tiger!
