Donald’s Apprentice Quitter
I don’t know if you’ve been following this season’s Apprentice, with Donald Trump or not, but as an aspiring entrepreneur, you should be.
Last week, something quite interesting happened on the show, and it goes right to the heart of why most home business owners fail.
Michelle quit!
Yep, you heard me right.
And that’s unbelievable.
Here’s why:
After jumping through all of the necessary hoops, and doing it better than the thousands and thousands of other candidates who were trying to get on the show, Michelle beat them all!
She was one of the fortunate few who actually made the final cut.
And what does she do?
She gives up!
She quits!
And to make matters worse, she did it on live television, where millions of people watched in amazement. How that going to look on her resume?
She had what many would consider the opportunity of a lifetime, and she quit.
Now, you might think that I’m being a little harsh on Michelle, but that’s not really the case (well… maybe just a little).
But let’s consider this:
When it comes to business, especially home business, most folks give up when faced with the slightest bit of adversity.
But those that endure, and actually pursue their goals and dreams, they’re the ones who succeed.
I think back to when I started my first business (the cleaning and restoration company), back in 1996.
Most folks would consider my first year in business a miserable experience.
I worked my tail off, 14-16 hours a day, and 6-7 days a week. And when I’d get to the end of the month, I hadn’t made a penny for myself.
I did nothing but lose cashola, and I mean serious cashola!
But…
I refused to give up!
I refused to quit.
I finally got smart, and got help from someone who’d “already been there and done that”.
And an amazing thing happened.
Now that I had the guidance of a mentor, who handed me their tested and proven strategies on a silver platter, I started makin’ the big bucks.
In fact, with his help, I transformed that business into one of the most successful by-referral-only cleaning and restoration companies here in the Seattle area.
So here’s the two big lessons:
1. Don’t give up. You can never lose if you refuse to quit. Sure, you might have a few struggles along the way, but you WILL get through them.
2. Get a mentor. I’m continually amazed at how many folks want to be like the Lone Ranger, and do everything on their own.
Most business owners insist on following this path, and that’s why most businesses fail miserably within the first 1-5 years.
But, the business owners who have a mentor, their results are nothing short of amazing.
If you’re ready to cut through all the home business hype and B.S., and start making cashola now, I’ll show you how to do it, and do it FAST!
On Monday – January 29th at 8pm Eastern time, I’m hosting a no charge seminar-by-phone where I’ll be revealing the Unadulterated Truth About Home Business.
And yes…
When it’s over, you’ll be armed with the strategies and tools needed, to launch your home business success.
