People who own their own businesses radiate confidence, wealth, and just can't hide their free spirits. They don't punch a clock and don't answer to anyone but themselves. We see them behind the wheels of their fancy cars and living in those big houses and think: "sure, he can afford those things-he owns his own business" and business must be booming.
We are absolutely comfortable explaining somebody's successes by this "having his own business"-thing, and, yet, the idea of becoming one of this people terrifies us like nothing else.
Go ask any of your friends if they would be interested in joining you in a home based business - without any preparation they will give you at list five reasons why it's not going to work. They have never done it, they have never known anybody who'd tried it, but they know for sure that "You are going to lose everything on that."
Why are we so frightened to trust ourselves? Why do we see failure as the only possible outcome? Have we been conditioned to be timid?
There are a couple of aspects to the problem.
The entire concept of our education, known as The Prussian System, is training, including skills and the mindset that a student receives in order to become an employee.
All through our school years, even up through university, we are taught to be upright citizens within society, to conform and find a job, waste the next four or five decades toiling away for a boss who doesn't really care about us. The only thing we're working for is a retirement that will allow us simply exist without bumming money from our loved ones.
We learn to see the only possible course for our life to take is work for someone else, to please our employers, and hope that they will reward us for the work that we do.
We are taught that the only option for us to work for someone else and do so happily for a pat on the back and a handful of cash, totally forgetting our own dignity!
Do you ever wonder what happened to all of those crazy dreams you had when you were little? Did you ever dream about being a filing clerk, a corporate accountant, or your boss's lackey? I doubt it. You wanted to be a race car driver or maybe a pilot, didn't you?
We forget our dreams because we are repeatedly reminded that they are impractical. How can we make money doing those things? How can we support our families? How can we be productive members of society?
Time passes and without you even noticing you've spent the better part of your life working for someone you don't like, doing something you really couldn't care less about, and hoping for a turn of good fortune in the future. Do you want your kids to end up like that?
It's the sort of behavior we learned from our parents and it's the behavior you'll be passing on to your kids and your grandchildren if you don't find the courage to put a stop to the cycle and turn your future around.
If you want to take control of your future and be able to live the life you've always wanted, the first step is becoming your own boss.
It so scary! Mainly because it's something new, something you've never done before.
Especially something like an Internet based business, with all the hype and rumors about it!
That's where we retreat into our own little "comfort zones."
How do we learn anything?
There is only one way - repetition. Remember, you try to write, it looks awful in the beginning, but you keep re-writing the same word over and over and become good at it. By now you don't even think how to do it, you just know.
The same way you learn to ride a bike, to play tennis, pick up girls and to order food in the restaurant.
Through repetition you become who you are as well.
Maybe the only thing that gets you through your day is thinking that the position you are in now is only temporary. You drag yourself to work early in the morning, smile and make jokes with a boss you don't respect and don't really care for, you listen to your co-workers as they gripe about the same things that keep you up at night, all the time dreaming of that big break you're going to get a little ways down the road.
Someday, maybe sooner than later, your eyes will open and you'll see that, without your knowledge, you have become a cookie-cutter representative of everyone you share an occupation with. You own the same style of car, wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and even have the same hobbies!
Learning through repetition has led you down the path to become who you are and has made everything in your life fall into one of two categories: familiar and unfamiliar.
You become comfortable with the familiar things and the unfamiliar things cause anxiety by releasing a burst of adrenalin into your bloodstream.
Even tiny amounts of adrenalin can influence your decision making. Think of it as chemical induced stress-avoidance behavior-it can run your life if you let it!
Tony Robbins once said, "It's in the moment of making a decision when the destiny is formed!"
But that adrenalin in your bloodstream won't let you make any decisions that would lead to any significant change. The chemical is released when you're confronted with something new and makes you feel uncomfortable, jittery, and unsure of yourself. You'll do almost anything to make the feeling go away and the easiest way to do that is to stay stuck in the same old routines.
And everyone you know will help you stay on that familiar track.
Want to hear a strange statistic? A person's income is almost always the average of the incomes of their seven closest friends. That means that people don't generally hang out with people who make significantly less, or significantly more than they themselves do.
This means that you can't really go to a friend and ask advice about how to make a six figure salary-not unless your friend already does. They just won't know how to answer you and will most often reply that "it can't be done" or will tell you to get your head out of the clouds.
And you will gladly use their opinion to justify your decision. It's much easier for you to continue doing what you are doing, even though you don't like it and deep inside you feel that you deserve a better life and more money.
Thich Nhat Hanh wrote something hundreds of years ago but he could just as well have written them today: "people are having a hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown they prefer suffering that is familiar." Sound a little bit like you?
So, there you are, after having heard about Global Resorts Network, after having watched numerous testimonials, after having studied everything about this business, you are still sitting there and worrying: "What if I still don't know something, what if there is something I need to find out before I get started, what if, what if, what if"
Here is a story for you.
Leading up to my tournament debut, I spoke with my Tae Kwon Do coach, Master Shilkaitis, and said: "I want to compete but I don't think I'm ready yet." He answered that "you will never feel that you are one hundred percent ready. It's just a matter of finding the strength and desire to win and overcoming your fear!" Truer words were never spoken.
In that fight, I took third place by knocking my opponent cold but I was so frightened at the time that I still don't remember it even happening.
I could go on and on with all the explanations and motivational speeches, but you know the concept already: it's a decision that you have to make consciously!
Nothing changes without you making a decision to change it.
Change your life today!
You'll be scared and there will be bumps in the road but you'll never know just how high you can truly fly unless you get off the ground.
Choose to live the life you want to live!
Maybe the next time you hear someone's jealous remarks about being able to afford those fancy things, they'll be talking about you! - 15478
