Starting Your Own Business

By December 23, 2010

A little food for thought before you all make new year resolutions and targets for the year ahead. This year I had a number of options with a number of ventures. There were much smaller paying jobs which required effort to find the customers then only a little persuasion to convince somebody to buy. The downside was that the payments were small and thus I needed a lot of customers to make it viable. Also there was a low loyalty factor as I was in a competitive market.

I searched through the Internet as a teenager hoping to make my millions. I found an FFA site (these were basically sites where you paid a subscription and received about 200 leads a day in return – these leads came from people who posted their links on the site) and signed up.

Congratulations you are almost halfway through the challenge. But, there is still some way to go so no resting yet.

Do you think you have what it takes to make a change? Have you ever wanted ot change something? How hard do you think it would be to convince your town to not buy or sell bottled water? Pretty hard I guess as it is everywhere and people seem to want it. Read how an 82 year old managed it, all from just a humble desire and then massive collective effort. Her story is making headlines all over the world and her achievement is even being studied in schools:

I hammer this theme home many times during my workshops, but I feel it is vitally important. The theme I repeat is: ‘First – Just be good enough’ Too many people strive to be perfect right away, which, although an admirable ambition, often paralyses and slows down the entire process. I found a perfect example of this concerning Pixar and the work that went into the making of Toy Story 3. I provide the link to the article below, but here are the important points:
