You'd like to start your
own business, you'd like to get out of the mind-numbing job,
you'd like to leave the corporate rat race. But, starting your
own business is a very daunting enterprise. Looking into the
future, it looks like a long, dark tunnel with no light at the
end.
Confucius said, "A journey
of a thousand leagues begins with a single step." Taking that
first step is the most difficult thing to do. It means beating
the Law of Inertia.
Two Laws That Affect
Your Success
The Law of Inertia states
that a body at rest tends to remain at rest unless acted upon by
an outside force. Your life responds to the same laws and if you
don't break the inertia, and take that first step, you'll be
stuck right where you are. Without taking that first step you'll
be forever stuck in that boring job, you'll never start a
business.
The good news is that your
life is also governed by the Law of Momentum -- it states that a
body in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted upon by an
outside force. Once you take that first step and set your
business enterprise into motion, you're well on the way to
success.
Success Comes To Those
Who Dare
Success never comes to
those who wish and pray for it, it only comes to those who reach
out and grab it. Successful people make a decision to do
something, then they begin moving toward the goal they have set.
They start down that long, dark tunnel knowing that the light of
success lies at the end.
The British SAS has the
motto, "Who dares wins." Successful people don't let fear of the
unknown stop them, they don't cling to the false security of a
job, they are willing to face the uncertainty and step into the
tunnel.
Just Do It
This one act of successful
people separates them from the failures. The ability to launch
themselves into an enterprise without any guarantee of success
is the one thing that leads to success. A 12-year university
study concluded that virtually all success was based on the
ability to "Just do it!"
The interesting thing is
that as you move down the tunnel, opportunities appear to you
along the way. These opportunities would never have been
available to you if you had stayed at the mouth of the tunnel --
afraid to take that first step.
Taking That First Step
Successful business people
choose their target, aim, and fire without hesitation. Determine
what your goal is, make a plan for reaching that goal, then get
moving toward that goal. Do something every day to take you
closer to that goal.
The minute you start moving
toward your goal, the Law of Momentum makes it much easier to
continue making progress as you start a business, launch a new
project, or set a campaign in motion. Just keep moving toward
your goal and your success will follow.
Let Momentum Carry You
To Success
Don't spend forever
planning. Just take that first step into the tunnel. Get the
momentum going. Before you know it, that momentum will carry you
to success and you will have a business that allows you to say
"Sayonara" to that enslaving nine to five job.
Just do it!
