Ever take a long look at a business owner? They are financially independent, confident, and free from all of the garbage that being someone's employee brings with it. Maybe they're driving the car you've always wanted, or are living in the house in which you've always pictured yourself, and you're a bit jealous. You can't help but think that "sure, he can afford those things-he owns his own business."
But why, if we know that owning your own business is the only true way to be successful and self-reliant are we so scared to take even consider building our own?
Go ask any of your friends if they would be interested in joining you in a home based business - without any preparation they will give you at list five reasons why it's not going to work. They have never done it, they have never known anybody who'd tried it, but they know for sure that "You are going to lose everything on that."
Why are we so frightened to trust ourselves? Why do we see failure as the only possible outcome? Have we been conditioned to be timid?
It's a complicated question with a complicated answer. Let's break it down.
The entire concept of our education, known as The Prussian System, is training, including skills and the mindset that a student receives in order to become an employee.
We learn in school and in life in general that we have to fit in, and to do that we need jobs. So we find one, slave away for peanuts, and hope that we won't have to leach off our children when we retire forty or fifty years down the road.
We learn to see the only possible course for our life to take is work for someone else, to please our employers, and hope that they will reward us for the work that we do.
We are taught that the only option for us to work for someone else and do so happily for a pat on the back and a handful of cash, totally forgetting our own dignity!
What happened to your childhood dreams of being an astronaut, a fighter pilot, or a deep sea diver? When did you start thinking that being a desk jockey was an acceptable replacement for those dreams?
Throughout our early education we are repeatedly told that those fantasies are impractical, unreliable, and a waste of time. We never going to be what we want to be and if we do some day get there, we can never make money doing that!
Time passes and without you even noticing you've spent the better part of your life working for someone you don't like, doing something you really couldn't care less about, and hoping for a turn of good fortune in the future. Do you want your kids to end up like that?
It's the sort of behavior we learned from our parents and it's the behavior you'll be passing on to your kids and your grandchildren if you don't find the courage to put a stop to the cycle and turn your future around.
By turning things around I mean becoming your own boss and regaining control of your future!
Stepping into the unknown is always frightening. We are afraid when confronted with a situation we don't fully understand, and right now you don't understand much about owning a business.
Especially something like an Internet based business, with all the hype and rumors about it!
That's where the "Comfort Zone" comes to play.
What is the one way we learn anything?
We learn by repeatition, just like when you were learning to write. Remember? It was hard to begin with but now you don't even think about it.
The same way you learn to ride a bike, to play tennis, pick up girls and to order food in the restaurant.
That repetition is what makes us become who we become.
Maybe the only thing that gets you through your day is thinking that the position you are in now is only temporary. You drag yourself to work early in the morning, smile and make jokes with a boss you don't respect and don't really care for, you listen to your co-workers as they gripe about the same things that keep you up at night, all the time dreaming of that big break you're going to get a little ways down the road.
Someday, maybe sooner than later, your eyes will open and you'll see that, without your knowledge, you have become a cookie-cutter representative of everyone you share an occupation with. You own the same style of car, wear the same clothes, speak the same language, and even have the same hobbies!
Through repetition you learn action, behavior, and thoughts that will define you for the rest of your life. Your actions, behavior, and thoughts will separate the world into two parts: familiar and not familiar.
You'll always feel comfortable doing familiar things but when you attempt anything unfamiliar your body delivers a dose of adrenalin to your brain and makes you feel anxious.
A minuscule amount of this substance will dictate your actions, the decisions you make and ultimately your destiny!
Tony Robbins once said that "it's in the moment of making a decision when the destiny is formed."
But you are not going to make a decision about doing anything unfamiliar because of that adrenalin in your blood. Like an airplane on autopilot you will be getting back to what is familiar and to what you are accustomed to.
And everyone you know will help you stay on that familiar track.
Look around at the people you call friends. It's kind of interesting that you don't really hang around anyone who makes much less than you do or anyone who makes much more. Studies have found that a person's incomes can often be figured as an average of the incomes of their seven closest acquaintances.
So, ask any of your friends (who is working 9 to 5 and making $45,000 a year) advise about starting a home based business and making a six-figure income. What kind of opinions do you think you will hear? You know it, "It's not going to work!"
The worst part is you'll take their opinion as fact, more often than not, because it represents the path of least resistance-it's much easier to keep doing what you are doing than to succeed at anything new.
"People are having hard time letting go of their suffering. Out of fear of the unknown they prefer suffering that is familiar." Thich Nhat Hanh wrote these words hundreds of years ago. Did he write it about you?
If you're truly contemplating what Global Resorts Network can do for you then you've probably done a lot of research, learned a little bit about Internet marketing and read or watched a ton of testimonials from people who have come before you but you're probably still worrying about all of the what-ifs. What if I can't get my business off the ground? What if something goes wrong? What if I lose money? What if I can never succeed?
Let me tell you a story.
Leading up to my tournament debut, I spoke with my Tae Kwon Do coach, Master Shilkaitis, and said: "I want to compete but I don't think I'm ready yet." He answered that "you will never feel that you are one hundred percent ready. It's just a matter of finding the strength and desire to win and overcoming your fear!" Truer words were never spoken.
In that fight, I took third place by knocking my opponent cold but I was so frightened at the time that I still don't remember it even happening.
I could go on and on with all the explanations and motivational speeches, but you know the concept already: it's a decision that you have to make consciously!
Nothing changes without you making a decision to change it.
Make a change in your life today!
It will be scary in the beginning, it will feel very uncomfortable and strange, but that's when you know that you are changing things!
To get everything you deserve you have to change the way you are doing things. Make the decision today and choose your destiny.
Maybe the next time you hear someone's jealous remarks about being able to afford those fancy things, they'll be talking about you! - 15431
