Let me begin by telling you a story...
In Indiana,
there lives a woman who works 8 hour days 6 days a
week at a local computer company. We will call her
"Barbara" for the sake of this article.
Barbara dreads
getting up in the morning. She dreads getting
ready for work. She dreads driving to work. She
dreads clocking in. She absolutely, positively hates her job.
She has a
degree in computer science, but she can barely
stand the sight of a computer anymore. Everything
in her miserable life has become a drudgery to
her. She can barely stand herself. The most
important thing to her is that wonderful clock
that chimes 5 p.m. when it is time for her to go
home.
She rushes to
her car...Drives as fast as the law allows
home...and then immediately rushes into her house
as fast as she can to the noise of overexcited
door greeters. Both them and her have waited all
day for this moment. Now, she can relax.
She sits down
on the couch...collects up her pets (2 dogs and a
cat) and gives each of them the attention she
knows that they crave. She turns on "Animal
Planet" on the television set and sits back
breathing a sigh of relief that she lived through
another day.
Every day this
same process occurs. Sometimes she makes a stop by
the library and gets a collection of books on
"Dog Care" and on "Dog
Training." On her day off (that wonderful
day), her and her dogs go and spend the entire day
at the local park. All of them wait all week for
that wonderful event.
Because of the
drudgery of her job and the desire she has to be
constantly free from it, she decided to check into
starting her own home business. Her friends sell
Avon. As a matter of fact, one of them even makes
enough money to do it full-time.
Barbara envies
this woman...She gets up and works when she wants
at her own business which she loves. She always
seems to have a spring in her step and a smile on
her face.
Then, one day
her friend invites Barbara to join her. Excitement
overflows inside of Barbara...She will be able to
be in control of her own destiny. She can be in
business for herself.
Barbara jumps
at the chance...besides it is only $25 she says to
herself..."What do I have to lose?" She
is absolutely on fire with this new
possibility...She can work for herself and make
her own life.
She quickly
begins to do everything her sponsor told her to
do...She makes up lists of contacts. She begins
contacting them all one by one. She does
everything necessary to get started as fast as
possible.
Barbara begins
making a little money...(It always starts out
small in your own home business), but something is
missing. She stills has her job...She has her new
home business and is beginning to make a little
income doing it...BUT she has even less time than
before to do the things she loves.
Her day off
came and went...She had meetings to attend in her
new business. Her dogs stayed home staring
longingly at their leashes wondering what was
wrong. Barbara is making more money now, but is no
more free time than ever before.
Now, after the
excitement of her new business has worn off, that
telephone is getting pretty heavy to use. It is
getting pretty tiring to come home from work every
day and have to work this second job...even though
it is hers.
One day, her
sponsor quits and she has no one to help her stay
motivated anymore. That was the final straw. She
can't do it any more. She goes back to the old
routine and to top it off, feels guilty that she "failed"
in her home business venture.
Later on down
the road, this same process occurs. She joins
another home business "opportunity" only
to later give up and quit because she just can't
take it anymore. Dozens of times this happens.
Every time she feels more guilty that she just
doesn't have what it takes to make it in her own
home business.
Every time this
occurs she ends up exhausted on her couch. The
funny thing is that the answer to her problem has
been right under her nose all of the time. It
happens to be staring up at her lovingly right
this moment holding it's leash.
Her problem has
been that she works a job she hates. She wants a
way out and others are promising her a solution
that just isn't suited to her. They make money
doing it because they love it. She makes a little
at it and quits because she can't stand that JOB
either.
For them, it is
a way of life and a passion. For her, it is just
another JOB, yet with less starting salary. Her
passion is for her pets, but she spends time
trying to work up passion for other people's
desires.
I will let you
off the hook and tell you...Barbara's problem is
that she is trying the WRONG home business for
her. She should be starting a business where her
passion is at. Instead, she just tries to imitate
others who have their own desires.
I wonder if
that is your problem? If you can't wait to get off
your job and get out to the golf course, but you
are trying to sell health products, it won't work.
If you only want to garden all of the time, but
sell make-up, you are dead in the water before you
ever start.
The Best Way to
Produce A Lifestyle You Enjoy is By Doing What You
Love!
Take off the
blinders...Take off the limitations. What do you
love doing? What are your hobbies? What is it that
you think about every time you get a spare moment?
That is the
BUSINESS for you to be in...Don't tell me it can't
be done. I will just tell you to figure out how to
do it.
Let's go back
to Barbara...What should she be doing? How about
being a pet sitter, dog walker, pet day care, pet
groomer, or dog trainer? She could write books on
pet training, animal grooming, etc. That could be
an information business. It could be a service
business. Don't put limitations on yourself or
others.
Don't tell me
it can't be done! On TV, I just heard about a DOG
BAKERY which only sells gourmet dog treats. They
have over a million in sales and 20,000 mail order
clients besides what they have in their little
shop. If you love it, you will find a way once you
make up your mind!
For many of you
reading this, you may be in the wrong business.
You are making money (Or you aren't making money
it doesn't matter), but you just aren't happy.
Well, now you have it. Somebody was finally
willing to tell you the truth of the matter.
Find your LOVE
and you will find success. Yes, it will be hard
starting out. It is in any business you get
started in. If your business is also your passion
and your hobby though, YOU WILL make it through
and won't quit when it gets hard, because you LOVE
it.
