A business owner--a guy who owns his own thing. That person that radiates a feeling of wealth, freedom from having to report to a boss, freedom from having to go to work, a guy driving that nice car and living in that nice house. We say about him: "Sure, he can afford it, he has his own business!" or "Obviously, he runs his own business!"
You can explain away that wealth, confidence, and success so easily by believing they got where they are by being their own boss but the second you think about doing it yourself you've already decided it's too risky-the very idea terrifies you!
But you're not alone. Pull a couple of your friends aside and try and talk them into running a home-based business. They'll come up with a dozen reasons why they can't do it and a dozen more why you shouldn't try either. The standard response is "it's a good idea, but it will never work."
Why do we constantly shoot ourselves in the foot? Why are we more likely to scare ourselves into submission than to try anything new? Have we been conditioned to fail?
It's a complicated question with a complicated answer. Let's break it down.
The entire concept behind the Prussian System-our system of education-is to make reliable employees out of everyone.
We are taught throughout school and college that the only option we have to become a valuable member of the society - is to become a good employee, to get a job and to spend more than forty years slaving for somebody else and, hopefully,we willearn a retirement that will allow us to quietly die without disturbing our kids and asking them for money.
We are taught that the only way available to us to express ourselves is to become somebody else's worker, to be dependent on somebody and to be reworded in life for satisfying somebody else.
We are told that there is nothing un-dignifying about that, quite opposite, receiving a pat on the back and a few bucks from your boss is a good thing, mainly because this is the only way to make a living.
Do you ever wonder what happened to all of those crazy dreams you had when you were little? Did you ever dream about being a filing clerk, a corporate accountant, or your boss's lackey? I doubt it. You wanted to be a race car driver or maybe a pilot, didn't you?
Because in school and college you were explained that, it's impractical, you need to make money and provide for your family, and you need something real, like to become an engineer or an accountant.
Time passes and without you even noticing you've spent the better part of your life working for someone you don't like, doing something you really couldn't care less about, and hoping for a turn of good fortune in the future. Do you want your kids to end up like that?
That's what your parents taught you, that's what your kids will teach their kids unless somebody in this chain will have enough balls to break the cycle and to turn things around.
By working for yourself you can take your life back and regain the future you always wanted.
Stepping into the unknown is always frightening. We are afraid when confronted with a situation we don't fully understand, and right now you don't understand much about owning a business.
Especially something like an Internet based business, with all the hype and rumors about it!
That's where the "Comfort Zone" comes to play.
How do we learn anything in life?
There is only one way - repetition. Remember, you try to write, it looks awful in the beginning, but you keep re-writing the same word over and over and become good at it. By now you don't even think how to do it, you just know.
The same way you learn to ride a bike, to play tennis, pick up girls and to order food in the restaurant.
Repetition makes us who we are as well.
If every aspect of your job makes you cringe: going in early, staying late, putting up with bad situations and garbage from your boss and co-workers-you're not alone! You say to yourself that things are only temporary, that'll you find something better, but it never does.
Someday, maybe sooner than later, your eyes will open and you'll see that, without your knowledge, you have become a cookie-cutter representative of everyone you share an occupation with. You own the same style of car, wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and even have the same hobbies!
Through repetition you learn action, behavior, and thoughts that will define you for the rest of your life. Your actions, behavior, and thoughts will separate the world into two parts: familiar and not familiar.
The former will feel comfortable and friendly, and the latter will cause your brain to give you a burst of adrenalin, letting you know that you are stepping out of your comfort zone.
Even tiny amounts of adrenalin can influence your decision making. Think of it as chemical induced stress-avoidance behavior-it can run your life if you let it!
Tony Robbins once said, "It's in the moment of making a decision when the destiny is formed!"
But you are not going to make a decision about doing anything unfamiliar because of that adrenalin in your blood. Like an airplane on autopilot you will be getting back to what is familiar and to what you are accustomed to.
Your friends and family will gladly help you with this task!
Look around at the people you call friends. It's kind of interesting that you don't really hang around anyone who makes much less than you do or anyone who makes much more. Studies have found that a person's incomes can often be figured as an average of the incomes of their seven closest acquaintances.
Ask any of them about starting a new business venture and earning six figures a year and you'll get blank stares, excuses, recipes for failure, and panic. They don't know anything about any of that and can't help you get there either. All you'll hear is that it just won't work, that stuff like that never really happens.
And you will gladly use their opinion to justify your decision. It's much easier for you to continue doing what you are doing, even though you don't like it and deep inside you feel that you deserve a better life and more money.
"People are having hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown they prefer suffering that is familiar." Thich Nhat Hanh wrote these words hundreds of years ago. Did he write it about you?
So, there you are, after having heard about Global Resorts Network, after having watched numerous testimonials, after having studied everything about this business, you are still sitting there and worrying: "What if I still don't know something, what if there is something I need to find out before I get started, what if, what if, what if"
Let me tell you a story.
When I just started practicing Tae Kwon Do, before my first tournament, (I was in the orange belt rank back then) I went to talk to my coach and I said: "Master Shilkaitis (that was his name), I think I might want to participate in sparring, but I still feel that I'm not ready yet and I'm not good enough." And he said: "You will never feel that you are absolutely 100% ready! It's just the matter of finding strength and desire to win and overcoming your fear! Plus without actually sparring with somebody you will never know how good you are!"
I took a third place for a spectacular knock-out with a round house kickto the head. It doesn't happen even in the black belt category every day. I was so frightened, that I still don't remember how it happened!
I can talk until I'm blue in the face and you either will choose to expand your horizons and realize your potential, or you will fall back into those old comfortable routines and be right back where you started.
Nothing will change on its own! If you continue doing what you've been doing, you will continue getting the results you've been getting!
Change your life today!
You'll be scared and there will be bumps in the road but you'll never know just how high you can truly fly unless you get off the ground.
You want success, you want money, you want recognition - make a decision!
If you do, maybe next time you hear someone say "sure, he can afford those things-he owns his own business," they'll be a talking about you. - 14915
