One of the most common problems I see in free enterprise and
entrepreneurship is that people quit too often. Not only to do they
quit too soon, they never even start and they often quit too easily
and too often. They then go back to what already wasn't working for
them, usually a job, and give up on their dreams. I have found that
if you don't have dreams, you end up working for people who do. In
a job, typically, you're creating someone else's dream and that's
not to say that jobs are bad, but will you ever get to your promise
land, producing results for someone else in their dream? That is an
interesting question. Success isn't always easy is it? And it's
definitely not a sprint, it's a marathon. Most people quit in free
enterprise in their first 90 days, six months or one year. This is
a usual pattern for most people; they don't stay in the game long
enough to learn the survival skills required to win the game of
their life. They dabble, they give it a shot, they try, they wish,
they hope, they'd like to, they think about it, they take little
action, get their feelings hurt, test the water and, most of all,
treat it like a hobby, then it costs them enough money, so they
quit and say, " It didn't work for me", or " I got burned". Free
enterprise is about going through mind shifts, evolutions of new
consciousness, getting out of the box, off the sidelines, in the
game, playing offense rather than defense, learning life skills so
that you can get paid what you are worth. It is the opportunity to
win the game of life on your terms, in your time frame. Quitters
never win and winners never quit. Winners learn how to fail more
intelligently. Isn't it time you learned how to treat failure
differently? Isn't it time you changed how you've been changing?
