Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.

Peter F. Drucker

 

Why did you start a home business?

Was it to make some extra money?

Did  you want to spend more time with your family?

Or maybe you just don’t like working for someone else?

Whatever your reasons maybe, the real question is do you believe that you will become successful in your business?

If so, are you doing what successful people do in order to become successful in your business? Or are you just doing this business for the pleasure of it?

Coming from experience, I see a lot of people who have a home business and do not take it serious. As a matter of fact, they come up with some bad excuses is to why they’re not finding success.

So what do successful people do in order to become success. Well they are always polishing themselves up. They are always in constant growth and sharpening their axe.

How do they do this in our industry?

They are consistently:

  1. Going to conventions
  2. Going to briefings
  3. Going to their Super Saturdays
  4. Reading Blogs
  5. Reading Personal Development Books
  6. Listening to training calls
  7. Looking at webinars
  8. Have mentors
  9. Consistently building great relationships
  10. Meditating
  11. Visualization
  12. Studying People
  13. Consistently have a positive mental attitude

and the list goes on and on…

There are so many positive activities that successful do that bad excuses is like cryptonite is to superman. As a matter of fact, if you have a hard time coming up with a bad excuse, then you’re most definitely on the right track.

I’ve just listed 13 things on what successful people do in order for them to achieve their goals. If you can come up with any more activities, Please feel free to add.

If you’re looking to take your business to the next level or are looking to start a home business, the best thing to do is to educate yourself. The problem is most people like to jump into an opportunity without being educated on the business or their compensation plan. This can result in years and years of frustration and failure. If you’re looking for the “How to’s” and a step by step process to grow your business than I’m more than willing to help you.

    Hi Sherman!

    I totally agree with you that it’s so important to continue to feed our minds and our motivation by staying plugged into our businesses and up on what’s happening in the industry and our companies, but I do think that I’d add some time to unplug to your list as well.

    Successful people also set boundaries and make time for themselves to regroup, get new ideas, and re-energize themselves so they can go out there and do more great work!

    Hey Sherman,

    Great post! To be honest I don’t know where people find the time to come up with excuses. I am just busy doing what it takes to be successful which includes many of the activities you list so I don’t have time to come up with excuses.

    Hi Sherman,

    Great post. You are absolutely right. And leaders also have a physical fitness routine because physical fitness begets mental toughness.

    Thanks for sharing your insights.

    Hi Sherman,

    Some people are born to make excuses and blame others for their failing. Successful people don’t do that, they are looking for ways to better themselves all the time. Great post and thanks for sharing.

    Sherman,

    This post is about some of things I have been thinking about.

    Reading a book the magic of believing by Claude Dristol.

    One of the things he talks about is condensing your why down to one word and write it down on 4 cards and place 3 of them where can find them easy carry one with you.

    I have got my down to one word “freedom” I think that can go without explanation great post.

      I do remember Claude Bristol talking about that in his book. This is another great strategy to add to the post. Thanks for adding value and for your comment!

    Hi Sherman,
    Compliments on a very “straight-forward” list. I couldn’t agree more. I personally am working on #’s 10 & 12. BTW, do all MLM’s do “Super Saturdays”? I though it was just a PM thing (lol)
