Be in the flow…

let go of your fear; of your need to be in control

for it imprisons your dreams.

Breathe deeply in the darkness…

an illusion cast forth by your light;

no other can take your place.

Let the world be blinded by your majesty…

a beacon to those struggling to find their way;

for it is your divinity to shine like the star you truly are.

Go; enter the dragon’s den and reclaim your heart.

Inspiring you to do work you love

“It’s so easy to get caught up wanting to save the world, run a successful business, be in great shape, have immense wealth… success, no wonder we runs ourselves ragged.

When all is said and done, what we really want is to be happy, feel loved… for life to flow; and when that’s your aim is life everything else falls in to place; well, that’s what I’ve found.”

While browsing the net, catching up with my regular dose of news from different blog sites, I came across few things that I thought would help motivate and encourage us to get up and acknowledge that we already have what it takes to become the future/successful entrepreneurs, we just need to believe it.

All we need to do is to take the necessary steps required.
You know you’re a young entrepreneur when you start to look around in your classroom and think of ways your classmates can profit you in some way (not monetary necessarily).

You know you’re an entrepreneur when eating food or sleeping seems like a chore to you.
You know you’re an entrepreneur when your enthusiasm keeps you awake at night and you start to think of ways to profit from insomnia.

You know you’re an entrepreneur when…you work 16 hours a day for yourself, so you don’t have to work 8 hours a day for someone else…

You’re an entrepreneur when time freezes while you are doing what you feel passionate about. You forget that there’s a thing called breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you forget what is sleeping, and you forget that everything else is there.

Everything, everyone, every situation becomes an opportunity
You know you’re an entrepreneur when you bore your mates with business ideas!

You know you’re an Entrepreneur when you sometimes lose sight of every other thing in your life that has value, and you know it, but you keep pushing because your drive to succeed is too strong and uncontrollable!
You know you’re an entrepreneur when…your friends keeping asking if you’ve totally lost your mind…and you just smile.

You know you’re an entrepreneur when you cringe at the thought at ever having to be an employee again.
You know you’re an entrepreneur when you take your girlfriend out to dinner and try to give her financial advice.

You know you’re an entrepreneur when you are making more while in college than your peers will when they graduate.

From your feedbacks, I will try and write my topics as concise as possible.

• Most of the things I tried to get across to you in the last post were that, we all have this inner yearning for succeed, achievement, but we lack the initiative to maximize the true potential that lies within us, Because of situations that holds us back.

• Those things that varies from childhood’s experiences, relationships, friendships, failures, misconceptions, self-realisation and others but I do believe we can get pass the stage.

• One of the ways I believe to move from that stage is to talk with GREAT-minded people, you know the people that can really motivate and inspire you in taking on that situation head strong.

• Also, It is better to go with your gut, now think about it, what if Thomas Edison has let other situation weigh him downinstead, he used situations like this to bring out the best in him, drawing out his inner motivation, using words of inspiration to inspire himself also” I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work”, although think it through, don’t fight it, go with it. Even if you don’t know exactly how it is going to work out embrace the idea and try to see it through to its full potential.

• During the last five years,so much ideas come my way, some which I have ignored totally, ideas that could be booming now, but oh well, we all have to move on, but also I have ideas in the past two years where I have had that ‘gut feeling’, followed it and it turned out to be a dead-end, but by going with that idea it led me to have another idea which was better. I guess it bring sense to the quote saying “There is light at the end of the tunnel”.

• Don’t be afraid to drop your old ideas for a new better one. Sometimes each new idea is just a stepping stone to that ultimate idea. Drop the average for the best.

• Remember to continue reading “Think and Grow rich” by “Napoleon Hill“ or get yourself the audio version , if you want a copy of the either, do not hesitate to contact me or any questions relating to the post.

• The Mindset is your preparation into the world of entrepreneurship, I can say this enough; it all starts in the mind.If your mind is not prepared, then it needs developing, start reading books, or listening to audios or exposing your mind to different things, but be careful not to take others opinions as your facts.
  Challenge your mind, challenge yourself
• Your mindset is what gives you a different approach to life, it makes you understand that you can be great rather than settle to be okay. It enables you to constantly try to better yourself.
  we something underestimate the power of our minds, when you have your mind set on something, you are unstoppable, the only person that can stop you is “you”.
• Think outside the Box, not just within the Box, open your mind and look at things from different angles and directions.
  I understand why a lot of people don’t question things, they just do, because it’s easier, don’t do things because it is easier but because it is the best option.

• Do let someone think for you, or create your mindset,don’t be enslaved within others thoughts or opinions.
  Don’t be afraid to be outside the so-called safety zone. To succeed in any business undertaking, one must not be afraid of these risks. Let that be your mentality, your mindset.
  However, don’t take risks blindly; you must be able to calculate them. By properly calculating the risks, you can determine if the risks are worth taking or not.

• The pace of economic change is accelerating, driven by inventions, process improvements, and our perpetual quest for better, faster, cheaper GOODS AND SERVICES.
  Which means you need to start, right now, and begin to develop your mind.

• “The entrepreneurial mind-set transcends the confines of family and tradition, opening individuals up to modern styles of consciousness and securing them a place in modern industrial society” (Brigitte Berger in Spinosa, Flores, Dreyfus, 1997, p.57)
  In this world of uncertainty, your mindset should be:
  Take control.

• If nobody knows the future and what it holds, then the future might has well belong to you.
• You can change the future; you can change your future. Your vision of how to navigate it is as good as anyone’s.

• And don’t forget that you’re still young, at least kind of young I guess most of us,

• You need to start to develop yourself, work on yourself, none of that CRAP YOU BEEN DOING LATELY LIEING TO YOURSELF, THAT YOU’RE LEARNING.
• Take advantage of your youth. Being young, you can come up with lots of new, unexplored ideas to start a successful business.

• If you look back, most of the biggest companies right now, began when there was nothing else like it. That’s why they are untouchable e.g. the Bill gates and Rupert Murdock’s; they beat the competition to it!
• Find your perfect niche, the possibilities for growths, and advancement, are endless.

Further, even when competition comes knocking, you will already have the experience that they don’t, and a solid customer base, whose trust you have earned.

• Get yourself into the right frame of Mind, your Mindset is powerful.

I hope this word of encouragement on the mindset of the aspiring entrepreneurs inspires us.
I am going to change the book which I have told you to read for these couple of weeks, now I want us to turn our focus to nothing less than the great book by Napoleon Hill “Think and Grow Rich”, As I always say if you need it in the pdf format or the audio, do not hesitate to contact me, or if you have any questions in relations to the book or the topic in general.

Also, I hope the video below gives you some kind of strength and motivation to keep pushing harder.
