MOTIVATION
To Be An Entrepreneur Think Like One
by Yank Elliott, IAHBE Staff Writer & MBA
Merriam-Webster Online defines an entrepreneur as “One who organizes, manages, and assumes the risks of a business or enterprise.” But how does one become an entrepreneur?
Everything we do involves some kind of learning curve. To think like an entrepreneur is no different. It contains a number of elements that have to be developed by utilizing techniques others have discovered and used successfully. Here are a few things you must attach to yourself in order to THINK LIKE AN ENTREPRENEUR. Thinking like one is the starting point for becoming one.
Entrepreneurs know how to control fear of failure, rejection, and other business reversals. They view these events as challenges to their abilities and relish the chance to prevail in the face of disaster.
It’s often hard for home-based entrepreneurs to think in terms of a very large picture. The prospect of a six-figure income is awfully remote if one is worried about $5 to eat tomorrow. But successful entrepreneurs always see the big view. They don’t ignore small details, because these must be satisfied. But striving for grandiose and seemingly unattainable goals develops entrepreneurial abilities and very often helps successful people attain lofty goals.
People don’t want to take risks if they can help it. This is ingrained and causes a person to remain at a job they absolutely can’t stand because they fear losing what little they actually have. An entrepreneur must take some risk, so they have to mentally condition themselves not to fear taking risks. Successful entrepreneurs willingly take risks; they constantly test the water’s depth to see what is under the water. Continuous testing eventually uncovers successful ideas helping you develop plans that work for you in your own environment. No matter what the results of your testing may be, never ever give up. That is the only sure way to fail!
A significant cost of every successful business is adequate training. Successful business people believe they should invest in every kind of learning feature they can find. Why would people already wildly successful participate in training programs when they are proficient in most business areas already? Why would they continue to pay big bucks for this training? Most of them expect to learn some little thing they don’t already know. They are continuing to learn in order to excel even more than they are now doing. The most successful people are on a lifetime learning plan.
The entrepreneurial spirit requires a successful person to share information with those around them. A tendency for many is to believe that keeping knowledge to themselves ensures a competitive advantage. The contrary is true. There is a “universal principle” that generally says “the more you give the more you get.” Become known as a free giver and you can expect to receive a lot of help when you ask for it from other knowledgeable people. Give and you will surely get!
Some people, even though they are in business to make a profit, have a mental set against making big money. This idea probably comes from the cultural training received through churches and our educational system. When the idea of “it is better to give than to receive” is constantly beaten into our heads throughout the formative years, it becomes difficult to imagine it’s O.K. to make large profits. One way to work through this is to always ask a price that is just as fair to you as it is to your buyer.
Shyness is not accepted by entrepreneurs. Everyone has people they know who for some reason intimidate them. Perhaps they are perceived as super successful, very wealthy, or they have some other awe-invoking cloak around them. These are the very people who can help you most and you need to ask them for whatever help you need. You may not get a favorable reply every time, but you will get enough to make it worth the trouble to try. Don’t be afraid of anyone. These people have the same hopes and dreams you have; they just may have been able to accomplish their goals sooner than you.
Take a chance. That is a basic job of an entrepreneur. It may cost a little money to try new ideas. By all means available insure there are some funds set aside to go out on a limb and try something very different. Doing the same old thing encourages mediocrity. Because change is ongoing if you don’t grab the first plane that flies by with a new idea there may never be another one. Some of your testing will not work at all, but some will turn up successful ideas beyond your wildest dreams.
Do everything you can to expand the world in which you move. If you are home-based or any small entrepreneur, you live in very restrictive environment. If you remain in this small world, the things you accomplish will also be relatively small. The most successful people will do everything they can to expand their network of contacts. Start creating more involvement with family, friends, and neighbors. Take advantage of seminars and other educational opportunities outside your normal surroundings. Interaction with your network will encourage you to do new things and thus achieve much more than you could by remaining secluded within you normal surroundings.
The idea of outsourcing tasks is increasingly seen as a wise move for even the smallest home-based enterprise. Why is this? One reason for going into a home-based business is to cut expenses; doesn’t this mean the entrepreneurs do everything for themselves? The answers are “Yes” and “No.” While keeping expenses, low the wise entrepreneur realizes the money is to be made pursuing your business idea and goals. Many business-related functions, such as web design and promotion, require investing time in an extensive learning curve. Each person has a strictly limited amount of time. No one can do everything. So the successful operators, no matter how small, will seek to outsource time-consuming functions best done by others. The job of the entrepreneur is to get the best outside people they can afford.
Every business operator must strive to know all there is to know about their field. Online retailers will need to read books about how their products work; they may have to attend seminars on product functions; and they must visit trade shows to keep up with current developments. The same is true for writers, consultants, Internet services, or whatever else anyone does with their small business. These things cost money, as do office equipment and supplies, advertising, and everything else needed for daily operations. This brings us to the point every successful entrepreneur will realize: you must spend money to make money!
Success as an entrepreneur requires passion, very strong feelings, about what you are doing. This ultimately will mean you love what you are doing and actually have fun every day as opposed to hating to get up in the morning. When I had to concentrate on all the self-help ideas I ever studied to literally force myself to go to work, I knew it was time to do something else. Many self-employed people have come to this same conclusion. In order to survive after losing their job, some entrepreneurs will start businesses they really don’t like. One or two successful people I have interviewed said they aren’t really passionate about their current business. But they also said they plan to do something they enjoy as soon as they can. You must have passion and consider your business fun in order to do what successful entrepreneurs do.
Most entrepreneurs agree it is best if you can use ideas people are already successfully using rather than inventing your own new way to do the same thing. That’s a very good move. But the successful entrepreneur will avoid copying others to the extent that their ideas become yours. If your business is just like all others in your field, why would anyone choose you over the original pioneers you have copied? By all means use methods and ideas developed by others. You will waste much valuable time if you try to invent everything yourself. But stay focused on YOU and use information from others in your way, not theirs.
Whether you believe in luck or not, you need to seize the moment and pursue your idea right now. You don’t know everything about your new project, but you can learn as you begin to build your new business. Don’t investigate and analyze every possible outcome before taking action. You will lose your opportunity by over-studying it.
Realize that your time is extremely valuable. Giving away or wasting time is doing away with irretrievable parts of your life. You don’t know how much time you may have, so your time also has an urgency value. Do what you must right now and always consider your life’s value.
Nothing in any industry is like it used to be. In fact many industries exist that were not known at all two or three years ago. The future is uncertain and will be full of changes as well. This unknown environment will produce far different actions among business leaders, depending on their positive or negative views of the facts. Main frame and mini-computer manufacturers declined and most disappeared at the same time Intel, Microsoft, and others established mammoth profitable companies. The entrepreneur’s job is creation of something valuable out of almost nothing. The entrepreneur must focus on positive details and act accordingly.
Entrepreneurial activities exist for the purpose of creating and retaining customers who will buy products or services at a profit. Successful business owners never stop thinking about their customers. Customer service is high on the priority list of ways to keep people buying the things you offer. Many companies offer very poor customer care; the observant entrepreneur will find niche markets in the problems of other businesses.
You must have a clear view of exactly how you want your business to operate and exactly how the business will help your customers. This view should be articulated clearly in some kind of mission statement. This mission may be altered as necessary, but it should always remain the point where you intend to take your business. If the mission is completely accomplished, the entrepreneur will then develop some new goal for which to strive.
Ability to gather, analyze, and act upon information critical to your company is another required trait of an entrepreneur. Critical knowledge areas are management, marketing, and money. The successful entrepreneur spares no effort in finding what needs to be known about each of these areas. This requires a continuing mental process of collecting and thinking about new information related to the business.
All these entrepreneurial characteristics may be summed this way: entrepreneurship carries a willingness to confront and dispute prevailing thinking about anything. It also implies a willingness to constantly take risks and test new ideas, even if failure is probable.

I Don't Want To Do This!
by Yank Elliott, MBA & IAHBE Staff Writer
“I’m not interested in starting any kind of business, because I don’t want to do the things I know must be done to have any chance at success!”
This is what most of your prospects, leads, or visitors to your opportunity meetings won’t tell you. They just say “No.” What they really mean is they don’t see how the turning point you are offering can do what they want in the way they want it. This could be a “turning point” in their lives, because they are listening to you and hoping against hope you can give them, without any activity on their part, what they so desperately would like to have. These are the ideas so many want in any business they investigate; they all want to be entrepreneurs, especially with all the hype and promises of the Internet. What so many really want is:
To get rich quick (like tomorrow).
To not only get rich quick but MAKE A LOT OF MONEY quickly.
To be able to quit their job and tell the boss where to go immediately after starting their business.
To immediately acquire complete financial security, all the bills paid, vacation any time anywhere, big house, new car.
To achieve all these things achievable with NO WORK.
To
achieve all these things with no costs involved; the money just flows in.
Will they come right out and say these things? Of course not. If you talk to
them, they will answer your questions with what they believe you want to hear;
you’re their sponsor and they think you should certainly be able to drag
them along by your coat tails and get them what they want for nothing!
As a promoter, all these ideas (misconceptions) make your job nearly impossible. You actually feel like this yourself, don’t you? Your job is to first get yourself away from thinking negative thoughts, even subconsciously. Only then can you have any way to change how your prospects are thinking. No matter what you do, only a small percentage will ever come around. This is why most authorities tell you to be happy with all the “no’s” because you’re just getting them out of the way to receive that “yes.” From the following discussion of how to change your own deep-seated ideas, write a little outline of things you can use to change the concepts others have and thereby increase your sales and recruiting success.
In Culture Matters, the authors say,
In this world the optimists have it, not because they are always right but because they are positive. Even when they’re wrong, they are positive. Pessimism can only offer the empty consolation of being right.
The idea behind this article is that people think they see problems with any business because they will have to do something they don’t like. This is always true, but there are ways to work around things you don’t like. For example, you may want to consider outsourcing or hiring a part-time assistant (this could even be a family member with possible income tax benefits). In my own case, research and writing have become my major business. There is only so much of this I can do--which somewhat limits income opportunities--but I like it much better than being tied to schedules and playing office politics, all the while worrying about when I might get a pink slip. Perhaps an idea you discover here will help you as well.
Among those proposing ways to overcome negativism is Charles “Tremendous” Jones. To him everything is “tremendous,” and he uses this term in the titles of some of his books. Charles Jones was a successful salesman at the age of six and went on into insurance where he retired at age 37 with $100 million in life insurance attributed to his organization. Since then he has established himself as a consultant and writer; his work includes Life Is Tremendous with two million copies in print. Some ideas attributed to him are:
Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be.
No one is a failure until they blame somebody else.
If you can't be happy where you are, it's a cinch you can't be happy where you ain't.
Every
problem is an opportunity to cash in on.
Charles Jones simply will not accept anything but a positive approach. The last
idea about opportunity from problems is powerful. If you don’t want to
do something, find another way to get it done and thus profit from your “I
don’t want to” problem.
Another powerful approach to overcoming our own “I don’t want to do this” thinking is advocated by James Allen, a nearly unknown writer from 19th century England. Among his 19 books is As A Man Thinketh, which basically says that our own thinking is responsible for what we are doing and for what our personal situation is right now. These ideas would not have been possible before Protestantism changed its beliefs to the ideas that man is innately good and possesses a divine rationality.
Though this thinking developed around the time of Charles Darwin and others in their efforts to reconcile science and religion, the belief that each of us can strongly influence our destiny is valid today. Incorporate this kind of thinking to succeed in life or business. These are a few thoughts from As A Man Thinketh:
Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so shall you become. Your Vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your Ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.
All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of his own thoughts.
He who has conquered doubt and fear has conquered failure.
A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances.
A
man is literally what he thinks.
You can see that what you allow your mind to think has a tremendous influence
on what happens to you. You can replace the things you don’t want to do
with other ways to accomplish the same thing. All these ideas take place within
your own mind, so how can you get your mind going in the right direction?
First, determine just what it is that you want from your life:
Do you want personal financial freedom?
Will you use this freedom for houses, cars, and vacations?
Will you use your wealth to help others in some way?
Do you want to develop your spiritual self over your financial person?
Would
you enjoy being successful?
These are only a few objectives you may choose, but perhaps they will stimulate
your thinking. You may now think about a plan for your life. You can search
the Internet and find maybe thousands of ideas about how to develop elaborate
life plans, set goals, and construct detailed business plans. Unless you must
have an in-depth plan to borrow money or be accepted in some group or into an
educational institution, it is better to keep your plans simple. The more you
work on a plan, the less time you will spend actually doing something; you can
plan your life away without ever getting any closer to what you want.
All of your plans should be written in a few very simple statements; you can always make changes and you should do this as circumstances and your ideas change. If you write them, you can keep them in front of you so you stay focused on what you wish to do.
When you decide what you want to accomplish with your life, you will probably realize there are some financial aspects. This is where you will determine if you need additional training in order to generate necessary funds and if you should begin your own business even if it is just a sideline to your “real” career. Should you decide on a business these are some main considerations:
What kind of business would you enjoy?
Will people buy whatever you want to sell?
What will you have to do to make this business work?
Can you afford it (on your own or by scratching up funds from somewhere)?
Are
you willing to do the things you must do (the whole point of this article)?
All these amount to many things to be done. Just the prospect of all this may
be overwhelming and could be one of the biggest things you “don’t
want to do.” There are two powerful sources available to help you. Both
are outside the mainstream of conventional thought. They are:
Using your subconscious.
Employing meditation.
I personally use both of these concepts on a daily basis, especially the subconscious. Though I had read about them for years, I only began to seriously study and use them about 12 years ago when they helped me survive a disastrous period in my life; they helped me not only survive but prosper again! Don’t frown on these ideas without at least trying them.
Among the functions your subconscious performs for you (while you don’t even know it is working) is the creative cycle:
Recognition - realizing a possible creative opportunity.
Incubation - letting your subconscious work on the details.
Illumination - subconscious suddenly shows how the idea might work.
Verification - actually going through creation and testing of the idea.
Your subconscious is a boundless energy source. Thomas Blakeslee studied the
right brain and found it to be the source of creativity, artistic ability, emotion,
intuition, and most of the personality traits. The left side is the part that
controls language and executes the designs conjured by the right side. The right
brain’s importance is recognized in the ritual Zen which uses ceremony
to silence noise (busy thinking) in the mind so the right brain can do its work.
Though it is possible and necessary to stimulate your subconscious at any time, one of the best times is associated with sleep. R. Joseph quotes psychologist William James as saying,
The unconscious mind, particularly during sleep, acts as a doorway or portal through which God can exert his influences.
Joseph further states this thinking goes back to Freud and Jung who noted the concept of The Collective Unconscious, which says there is a part of the unconscious which contains a very ancient psychic dimension, the earliest residues of ancestral life and earliest memories of our ancient ancestors. The author goes on to say that when people begin to utilize fully their unconscious subconscious abilities, there will be exposed an infinity of possibility. Use your subconscious along with meditation and you can’t imagine the power you possess.
How is meditation useful? It is a private mental exercise conducive to a heightened spiritual awareness which causes ideas to be created where none existed. Many meditation systems exist, most originated in a religious context. Concentration, use of fixed pictures, devices such as a rosary, and music appear to enhance the results of meditation. In many ways meditation is similar to prayer except that, in the sense we are using it, we aren’t trying to communicate with a higher power as the end result; our focus is on developing some aspect of our individual selves.
Meditation can be very involved and there are many schools of meditation. A very simple way to begin is presented here. Three basic steps are:
Assume a comfortable sitting position.
Close your eyes and relax all muscles in your body.
Disregard
every thought as it comes into your mind for about 20 minutes; this disengages
your brain functions and allows your inner mind to work creatively.
When you are finished you may have a solution to some problem or have a new
idea.
Stephen Hawking relates the effectiveness of meditation in an observation about Sir Isaac Newton and his gravity theory. Most of us have been told that Newton was hit on the head by a falling apple. Hawking researched the idea and found that Newton conceived the theory while in a contemplative mood and witnessed the fall of an apple. Could you be likewise inspired?
So now what is it you don’t want to do since you have found there are forces within your own mind to figure other ways to get things done? Don’t let “I don’t want to do this” prevent your success in whatever you wish to do, including starting your own business!
