Small Business Coaching on How To Become a Wealth Magnet [Cont'd]

By Allison Babb

3.       Abandon the victim mode

There was a time when I could easily come up with 20 reasons why I could not achieve my dreams in life or why I could not attain financial freedom through small business ownership.  I was divorced, I  had 2 young kids, I had a full time job, I had responsibilities at my church, etc.  Then I chose to take responsibility.  I chose to not blame others, not blame circumstances, and not offer up excuses. 

As a single parent, I rolled up my sleeves and made the decision to take the actions necessary for achieving my self-employment.  I realized it was a choice, that the choice was mine to make, and that no-one else could make that choice for me.

4.       Learn the system

Small business ownership remains a mystery yet a desire to countless people.  Most people do not become entrepreneurs simply because they are unaware of how to make a business work.  It's more than they fear they can't do it because they don't know how.

Ironically, in the corporate world, everyone starts out not knowing how to do a job.  But you make the decision to learn what you need to learn in order to succeed at that job.  And that’s really all you do as an entrepreneur.  You simply learn the business success recipe and apply it to your business. 

Sadly many entrepreneurs start businesses with only the hope that they succeed vs using a systematic approach to success.  With a clear and dependable system, you intentionally create your own success and you no longer have to blindly hope that you will succeed.

Small business owners and aspiring business owners alike show up at my web sites with confusion or frustration around what it takes to become self employed.
