"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!!!
