How to know if you have entrepreneur DNA?

Hello world,

I like, no love, to watch, made for TV drama series like, CSI, Forensic Files, Cold Case, etc...


It always amazes me how law enforcement, sometimes after 30 years or more, can find a suspect, because of what is known as "DNA" evidence.


They can find DNA from spit, hair, heck they can even get you DNA from a bugger. It is almost impossible to commit a crime and not leave some form of DNA on the scene. They might not get you today, or tomorrow, oh but get you they will!!!


Do you know there is a way to know if you have the DNA of an entrepreneur? I don't mean DNA from your body, your parents or family line. No, what I mean, for the purpose of this post is, do you have the makings, the mentality, of a entrepreneur? There is a way you can know.


I listen to a lot of personal development and success motivation material, audio CD's and so forth. One thing I noticed as a common theme in the CD's is, most if not all of the speakers, who have obtained some degree of success, most say that when they were a young child, they had a desire to do great things in their life.


Because most of them came from poor families, they had to work at a very young age.


Many of them had paper routes, cut yards, sacked groceries, or found some way to make money, even if it meant baby sitting their siblings and hopefully getting paid a little money in exchange.


Most entrepreneur's are not satisfied with the status quo. Or, as I like to say they Do Not Accept- (DNA,) they do not accept being average.


I can remember in my youth, coming from a family of eight children. I was raised in a home with eight women, no men. MY mom and my seven sisters. Man did we have a lot of fun and love in my home, but money was always scarce.


My mother seemed to always be working. Thank god she managed to keep a roof over our head and food on the table, and she made certain that, at least for Christmas, my sisters and I got exactly what we wanted.


Now days, kids want allowances. Heck, if I had brought up I want an allowance to my mom, she would have knocked the crap out of me. Then she would have said, I got your allowance, I'm allowing you to live in my house, eat my food and sleep in my bed, you get my drift.


So I realized very quick, if I wanted some spending money, I was going to have to go out and earn it. So, I did.


I cut yards, worked on a friend of mine's, fathers trash truck. And, at age 13 I lied in order to get hired on a summer work program for youth, when you actually needed to be 14 or older to get hired.




By the time I was 15 1/2, I was working a full-time job, bought my first car at 16, and I bought my first house at 18 1/2 years old. I must admit I have been blessed.


What I am saying folks is, you can know if you have the makings of an entrepreneur, just look back over your youth. Did you just hang around the neighborhood, playing with your friends? Or were you dissatisfied enough that you looked for, and found ways, to put a little spending change in you pockets.


Lastly, as a tip. When and if you venture to go into business for yourself, especially something like network marketing, mlm or internet marketing. When you talk to others about joining your business venture, ask them about their child hood. Find out what kind of things, if any, they did to get some spending money when they were a child. That question can tell you alot about whether or not you have a great potentail business associate.


Until next time.


God bless!

Taking Action!

Hello world,

It's been a while since I last posted, I have been busy.

Over the past few weeks I have been, over and over, listening to a audio CD by a young entrepreneur, named Ephren Taylor, called, "Motivating The Conscious."

At the ripe old age of 12, Mr. Ephren Taylor created a video game, because his parents could not afford to buy him one.

That one experience of creating his own video game, and then selling copies of it to his classmates, led Ephren Taylor to go on in his teenage years, to own two multi- million dollar companies and taking them public.

You can find more information on Ephren Taylor and get his audio CD at:
http://ephrentaylor.com/

On the audio CD, "Motivating The Conscious", there are four, male, African American, multi-millionaires, who have come together over breakfast to discuss how they themselves have become successful in the business world and sharing what it takes for others with the desire, to also become successful as an entrepreneur.


Of the many great comments that were made on the CD, one in particuliar, caught my attention, and that is, most people who have become successful in any kind of business venture or any worth while endeavour, it is usually because, they were put in some kind of "uncomfortable", do or die, postion in their life.


In my previous post, Are you a risk taker, I talked about a young couple who had, because of a job loss, pretty much been forced into starting their own business. The thing is, while this couple had employment, they had a desire to start a business, but, for whatever reason they never did, that is until, after, they lost their job, (things became uncomfortable in their life).


Why is it that we humans generally wait until our backs are up against the wall, that we then, take action.

I see people daily, who have great talents, but aren't using them, especially when there may be the potential for profit in it.


What will it take to make you "uncomfortable"?

Why wait until you lose a your job, get sick, or have some other tragedy happen in your life and puts you in an "uncomfortable" situation, that then might possibly cause you to, finally, take action towards that dream in you!


When will you take action and pull the trigger on that thing you do?


Until next post.


God Bless!

Are you a risk taker?

Hello world,

Hope you all had a great July 4th.

I spent my day relaxing, thanking God for my American Freedoms.

As I was doing some summer cleaning today, I came across an older local newspaper article, that was written back in April 2009. It was highlighting a young couple in my city that had recently went through a loss of employment.

The husband had worked for one of the large telecommunication's companies in the city and had been laid off.

What I found interesting in their story was that now that the couple was without employment, they decided to try an attempt at a business venture.

Nothing wrong with that, and I commend them, but, from what I gathered in reading the article, this was something they had been wanting to do long before the layoff, but for whatever reason, they never took a chance prior to being laid off. So, now they were really banking on the success of the business for their sole survival.

I guess better late than never, but think how much easier and pressure free their business endeavour could have possibly been, if they had started their business while they were still already employed.

The good thing though, is they do have a niche product offering and they are utilizing the internet to market it.

I have found that so many times, for whatever reasons, we put off our dreams of doing or becoming something, that could quite possibly offer us a life filled with success.

Are you a risk taker? Because only risk takers really ever achieve much of anything worth while in life.

Funny thing is, we all take risk everyday, driving to and from work, in rush hour traffic. People are doing all kinds of crazy things while driving. They are texting, eating, talking on their cell phones. Talk about risk.

We take risk while we sleep, heck who knows what danger lurks just beyond our bedroom
walls.
Thank God for his protection.

I am blessed to be employed presently, but I have had to take a 25% decrease in pay in my delivery route gig, and a pay freeze in my full time job, with possible future cuts and freezes coming. So I am looking for ways now to work for myself, especially in the arena of internet marketing.

So cyber family, how important is your freedom(s) to you and yours. Is it worth your taking a few risk to have a chance at a better life? Especially while you may have a current job, now is the time to take a few calculated risk.

Don't just step out there, get informed. do your research. There are multiple ways to earn additional income from the comfort of your home. And,
it does not have to take a lot of money to start a business online.

You will have to do your due diligence in marketing and promoting your business,
but it can be well worth the effort.

And remember,
"do what is easy while things are hard, so that, when things get hard, you can do what is easy!"

Don't put off starting that business, writing that book or whatever thing you desire to do, any longer,
get started on it today!!!!

Declare Your Independence!

Hello world,

Happy 4th of July.

I think it is such a blessing to live in America. And though we have our faults as a nation, we really do get to enjoy so many freedoms, it's no wonder so many people from other nations, risk life and limb to get here.

So, are you taking full advantage of your freedoms. Can you and I say that we are living the kind of life we "truly desire?"

I presently work a full time job and a part-time delivery route. Neither job is what I would consider hard work, although I can get pretty busy at times. However, I have been blessed to work with some really great people, and for the most part I get to work pretty much to myself.

And although I make a decent salary for the work I do, I do not quite have the time freedom that I truly desire. Therefore I have taken the bold step of investigating home business ventures.

For the enterprising, I have discovered that there is a lot of opportunity out there, but, you have to know where to look, or you can end up wasting a lot of precious time.

I have been in some sort of biz-opp for a couple of decades now, and I've had a few successes here and there, meaning, I did make some money, just not enough to quite declare my financial independence nor time freedom. At least not just yet.

So cyber family, what are you doing, or what are you going to do to declare your independence? Your true independence.

It is quite obvious, the work place climate is rapdly changing in our nation, heck the world, now that we have a global economy.

I encourage you to began to look at ways that will increase your value in the market place.

I like something that motivational speaker Zig Ziglar said, and that is, "if you help enough people get what they want, then you will get what you want."

A famous buzz saying around the internet marketing world is, "find a niche and get rich."

Basically, they are saying, find a "solution" to a problem someone is having and you can most likely make a good income from it. Depending what it is.

So, cyber family let's you and I get our thinking caps on and began to look for ways to solve one anothers problems, while earning $$$$ at the same time.

Declare your independence today. I believe the world will be the better for it!
