Love and Persistence of Your “Job” Pay Off in the Long Run
This week has been an “interesting” week. This was one of those weeks that tests your fortitude. That’s when you find out if you’re in the correct line of work for yourself. Anyone who says they’ve never had a bad day in their work is either a liar or has access to some really good drugs. I was at a “global business fair” in honor of Global Entrepreneurship Week being held at one of the community colleges in the area. First of all, I didn’t know there was such a thing as Global Entrepreneurship Week. I had a small booth there peddling what else; real estate investment training and mentorship. Students would come by and ask questions to get their “task card” punched. One of the questions went something like this: What do you consider to be the most important thing about going into business for yourself?
Without hesitation I blurted out, “love what you do.” Find something that blows your skirt up or winds your clock or makes you tingle all over. If you don’t have a passion for what you are doing, you are in deep stuff when things get tough. Hey that kinda rhymes. (more hidden talent) That tough stuff is going to happen and if you’re not well planted in what you’re doing, you’re not going to stick with it.
Here’s an excerpt from Napoleon Hill’s “Think and Grow Rich”.
Four Steps to Persistence:
1. A definite purpose backed by burning desire for its fulfillment.
2. A definite plan, expressed in continuous action.
3. A mind closed tightly against all negative and discouraging influences, including negative suggestions of relatives, friends and acquaintances.
4. A friendly alliance with one or more persons who will encourage one to follow through with both plan and purpose.
So. What is it that gets you going? Find it, stick with it, learn it at depth, become the authority in you niche. If it’s real estate investing you love, then get all the training and knowledge you can stand. Check out the material I peddle. It’s rock solid, inexpensive and very much in line with learning about real estate. Create a Recession Proof 6 Figure Income in ANY Market!
