In the Movie and Play “South Pacific” there is a song called “Talking.” The words to that song
go like this. Feel free to sing it. “Talking, talking, talking, talking, talk. Talk about thing you’d like to
do. You have to have a dream. If you don’t have a dream. How you going to have a dream come true.” This is the
first step. If you are going to devote 50+ hours a week to a business, it is really essential that it fulfill a dream you
have.
Surveys of successful people have shown that the love of the work has been more important than
the money. Interestingly, that usually equates into success in the work of love, which is then followed by financial success.
It is also true that many people buy or start a business that they did not have any passion for in the beginning but learn
to love the work and they worked in the field. The first rule then is stay close to the heart. In order to start anything new you must start out with a plan. We all
have heard stories of great ideas that died because some one did not go past the idea stage. The plan should include such
simple answers to the following questions; what is it you want to produce or sell? What is the list of steps that you need
to take to produce your product? (Working backwards from the final product, accomplishes this.) What are all the marketing
and administrative steps that you have to take? And lastly, what resources do you need to execute this plan, including education
and finances? This plan and all of its parts will give you a road
map. So we have the second rule. “If you do not know where you are going. How do you expect
to get there.” We have all heard the expression. “The best laid plans of mice and men…” Now that you
have a plan worked out and all its details, it becomes very important to take this plan and execute it one step at a time.
One way to help move you rapidly through your list of targets is for you to put a completion date on each target step. This
prevents procrastination (putting things off until tomorrow that you should of done today.) and keep you moving steadily towards
your final destination. This brings us to the third rule. “Follow the Yellow Brick Road” On the above list of
necessary questions was the question of resources. In a capitalist society like the one we live in the two main resources
are Capital (money) and Labor. This concept basically says you need both of these. It also implies that if you have more of
one of these you can use less of the other. For example; if I need a piece of office furniture I could 1. Spend my hard earned
money and buy one or 2. I could get my tools out, buy some lumber and make one with my labor. There is third resource that
is not mentioned but is just as important. It fits into the two resources by being called using your brain or your brawn (strength).
How to you best utilize your brain so you can work smart? The answer is get educated on How to run a business. How to control
finances. How to market your product? And my favorite: How to keep it and not pay it all out in taxes? Invest your hard earned
capital in these very important resources. This brings us to rule number 4. “They can’t take your knowledge away
from you.” Many people come to some point in their lives, that they get the idea of working for themselves. Whether
it comes from a lifetime of working for the man and it's time for a change, or just acting on a passionate desire be there
own boss. It also may be from a need of necessity because of a lost job. Whichever the case maybe, they look toward today
exploding marketplace the Internet. Once the research begins they are inundated with loads of offers and opportunities offering
quick riches. These seamless opportunities and offers are endless and mind-boggling. Where do I turn? is the first thing you
start asking yourself. They all sound so good and easy, what could be more appealing?Well the first thing someone is looking
for is gratification, and that gratification is money. They feel that their dreams are about to be realized, get rich overnight.
What could be better, instant riches. Their eyes set them out into the world of gaining these riches without having to do
a lot of work. Nothing to it, right? Wrong, the inevitable get rich scheme, or scam takes many in as we now have come to know
them. It is very sad that many of us have to experience this but it has almost become part of the process. Well I just want
to set the record straight; there is no such thing as getting rich overnight unless you happen to win the lottery. I don't
want to discourage anyone from to trying to achieve their dream; there are ways to make real money online. The thing that
I want to make clear it can be done but it does take some work to do this. You have to be willing to treat this like a business
and not a hobby. If you do this there is a great possibility you can become successful. What I would like to do is to tell
you not to do as I did, and that is to fall for every offer you come across. You need to spend time and do a lot of research,
and save a lot of money, pain, and anguish. There are legitimate opportunities that you can find with a little bit of effort.
When it comes to finding these opportunities you are going to have to realize that these may in fact cost you some money to
obtain them. Though it does not take a lot of money to find these gems. Once you find the right fit and start to learn and
gain the knowledge you need to get started, it can be done with relative little money. This all depends on what level you
want to take it toothed quest for my dream has been long and hard with many lessons learned, both good and bad. I have accumulated
a wealth of information, some of this has been very helpful and a lot has been not so helpful. In the beginning your excitement
level can be at an all time high and cannot be contained and you dive in with great anticipation. Once you start taking in
this enormous amount of information it happens, overload. You begin to think that there is no possible way for you to make
any sense of all of this, and your on your own. It’s terms like,seo,ppc,cpm,html and on and on. What is this? you start
saying to yourself, then you start to wonder from one lost space to another. This is the point where a lot of us give up,
therefore going to fail. I am here to say don't let that happen, this can be done. There are people that can help you and
hopefully you joined a program where the teacher has given you all the tools you need to succeed. So many of the so-called
gurus in this business offer to teach you everything, but they only give you pieces what you need. I was fortunate that after
many pieces I finally got the whole picture. That all came to me when i came across a gentleman by the name of Mack Michaels.
Mack brings you into his special club, and he gives you everything and I mean everything you need and more. I have bought
so many programs from a lot of the top gurus, and I am not hear to down any of them I know they all are very good. But Mack
gives it all to you and holds nothing back. He will provide you with all the training and all the tools you will ever need
to become a success and achieve those dreams. He leaves nothing to hide, it is only up to you to work hard and make it happen.
It is entirely up to you then to achieve your goal. I know you can make it happen, and I will see you at the top. Now that
you have gotten some business and management training under your belt, you can revise, correct and streamline your business
plan. This of course does not assure you that it will get done, no matter how beautiful it is. You need to actually do the
steps of this plan. To make sure you keep working on the plan targets, I suggest you do some of your targets every day. This
has to be done while at the same time delivering your service or making your product you will find that each week the work
gets easier, production increases and the business becomes more organized. Today’s organization of the business is tomorrow’s
expansion. Expansion cannot occur without organizing to make production smoother. If you do not spend time in organizing,
then you will become like all people who just work harder and harder each day trying to catch up on yesterdays work. This
brings us to rule number five. This is the rule to not follow the crowd. And what is the crowd doing? Most people so busy
working that they haven’t got time to get rich.
Conclusion;
Find a path you would like to go down, make a step-by-step plan on how you are going to get this plan done. Put completion
dates on each item in the plan. Get a business education and then decide the best use of your available capital and labor.
Constantly work to streamline the business to run more smoothly while at the same time, keep your daily production and sales
increasing. The constant balancing of producing a product and making the company run smoother so it can increase production
in the future is you’re your most important job as the owner of a business that is going to support you with a large
abundant income.
