"Transition Your Mind - From Dependant Employee to Self-Sufficient Entrepreneur"

There are a great many of you out there who are poised and ready to move into the next phase of your lives but you are stuck in the starting gate!! You have dedicated a part of yourself to the romance and excitement that surrounds a new business venture but there is something holding you back. Today, I'm going to help you see into yourself so you can take an honest look at why you're having trouble making the transition into entrepreneurship. As you grow yourself out of your current situation towards entrepreneurship, you will pass through three phases of development. The first phase is the DEPENDENCY PHASE. Physical dependence is the same as if you were hooked on some sort of substance. Your mind has decided that it is completely reliant on something. It doesn't have to be a substance!! It could be a family location. It could be a physical impairment. It could be that you don't own the type of clothing that your mind needs to see your body in before it can accept that you can be someone different. The mental and emotional component of this dependence is the most important part to understand. If you cannot get a handle on your dependencies in this area you will get stuck in this phase. That said, this is also the most liberating door to walk through. You have to sit your self down and take an HONEST look at your life up to this point. Remind yourself about your dreams!! Accomplishment in the absence of dreams is impossible!! Open yourself up to the possible and focus your energy toward that goal!! The TRANSITION PHASE is the 'get up and go' phase. Here you are with a fresh look at yourself and a great business idea. You now face the fear of starting or, if you teem it with inertia, ' Fear of Departure'. This happens often when you have a secure, well paying job that you are contemplating leaving. There are two things that can combat this fear. You need the support of your family and friends and you need to have a business plan that you have completely internalized. This will give you the courage to step away (mentally at first) from that perceived security which is exactly what is holding you back. The business planning that you have done up to this point will kick in now to carry you on through the execution portion of the transition phase. Lots of work needs to be put forth to ensure that your business is successful. Congratulations!! You're out of the starting blocks!!! The last phase of development is the most gratifying. This is when your mind re-learns to open up. When you were a child, your mind was wide open to new things. That is how children can absorb so much so fast. Successful people, as compared to lucky ones are those that keep their minds open to opportunities. They are also emotionally ready to capitalize upon those opportunities. In conclusion, I will leave you with this simple thought. You are the only warden over your mind. You hold the keys that can free your mind to see all of the opportunities out there. Remind yourself of your dreams. See yourself for what you are today. Plan for your transition to success. Execute that plan and then allow your mind to be free and open to all of the opportunities that come along. To the success of your business!!!
