You Have It Or You Can Get It

by Leave a Comment

No one is born with a hammer or a baseball bat in their hand. People aren’t just “born with the talents” that they have. In order for anyone to become talented at something, that person must continuously practice at what that person want to be. Talent doesn’t come natural. There are going to be some stumbles along the way.
If you don’t have a particular talent, and you really want that talent, you can always get that talent. You either have that talent right now, or you can get that talent by practicing.

Are You Prepared For The Holidays?

by Leave a Comment

Most people do last-minute shopping about a week or so before the holidays. The year is also coming to an end which makes it double crunch time for everyone to get goals accomplished. That’s why there aren’t any sales on the week before Christmas because stores expect consumers ready to buy anyway because the convenience outweighs the price.
Christmas shoppers have this option. Entrepreneurs do not have this option when it involves their businesses. If you aren’t ready for Christmas, you need to start getting ready. Promote some awesome products, and boost that exposure as the holidays come around. Waiting until mid-November or early December to start this is too late. Consumers would have already found someone else, and other entrepreneurs will already be prepared for the holidays at this point.
It’s like the ant and the grasshopper. The ant gathers all of its food before the summer ends while the grasshopper frantically searches for food in the middle of Fall. The grasshopper ends up staying alive, but the grasshopper was able to learn a valuable lesson for the next year. Being the ant requires more consistent work which results in everything getting done faster. Being the grasshopper requires short bursts of energy in crunch time situations. Don’t get crunched. Be consistent and accomplish what you need to get done.

Inputs And Outputs

The more we put into something, the more we are going to get out of it. The more time we put in our businesses, the more results we are going to see. 30 extra minutes can make a dramatic difference for any business. Extra hours will give you an even better output.
We all want that big output. We all want to get the results we want to see. The problem is that while looking at the output, we forget about the input. Without good  inputs, we can’t get good outputs. The input leads to the output, but not everyone wants to look at it that way.
30 extra minutes has made the difference between 20 followers every day and 100 followers every day. Those 30 extra minutes are eventually going to lead to almost 30,000 extra followers every year. Now the output looks really big, but it’s only because the amount of input got higher. With those extra 30 minutes, I created a bigger output. What can you do with those extra 30 minutes every day?
30 extra minutes every day is going to change your business because it increases your input. The more you increase the input, the more you are going to increase your output. You’re business is ready to evolve and reach all of those dream outputs. All you have to do is give your business a high amount of input.

Take Notes

I wrote notes in my notebook awhile ago. It was an experiment that I started up in the summer, forgot about, and am now going back to. The previous blog post was inspired by a note that I had taken months ago.

By taking notes, you will be able to retain more knowledge. You will remember what you want to remember, and you will be able to look back at something motivational, memorable, or thought-provoking. I am a big believer of writing in a notebook not just for school, but also for your business.

If you have a notebook, it’s time to take notes. One of your notes can turn into your next blog post, source of motivation, or bestselling product.

 

When Entrepreneurs Settle

by Leave a Comment

The quest to becoming a successful entrepreneur isn’t just about becoming successful. It’s about what happens when an entrepreneur settles in an environment in which they have become a power influencer.

What happens then? Does the entrepreneur continue to innovate or continue what he or she does. Many entrepreneurs only continue to sell the same products they have been selling and using the same methods of increasing blog traffic and getting the same results. Once those results work, you’ve settled in.

However, what are you going to do after you get all of that traffic. Are you going to only continue using the methods that work or continuously experiment with different methods. If people didn’t update Twitter, Facebook, or any of the other social networks, they would quickly become ghost towns. Imagine if the Twitter and Facebook from back in the day weren’t updated. Would you still be using those social networks daily?

Success is something to strive for, but you should ask yourself what you are going to do once you get that success. Are you going to get too comfortable, or are you going to continue to be innovative?

 

The Risks Of Being A Solopreneur

by 1 Comment

It is possible for an entrepreneur to go solo. Entrepreneurs can succeed without any help. However, it is going to be a lot easier to be successful if you don’t become a solopreneur. With a team, you can come up with new ideas. Twitter was formed by a group of people working together. Facebook was formed by a group of people working together. Plenty of other companies were formed by a group of people working together as well.

It’s better to have a team to help you. With a team, there are more people with more expertise. You don’t have to know lines of code. One of the people on your team can be a coding expert.

There are going to be people who know methods of improving your business or how to do things related to your business that you don’t know. No one has all of the knowledge there is to be offered. The only way to know about what you don’t know is to have a team.

If you’re a solopreneur, chances are you are doing countless hours of work for your business. Instead of working on your business for countless hours, you can create a team so you will have more time to do different things. Having a business is important, but being able to take a break from your business is important as well.

Solopreneurs face the risk of not being able to manage their businesses or do what they do as effectively as they could. If you want to systematize your business and be more effective, then you need to have a team.
