There’s No Luck In Entrepreneurship

There’s No Luck In Entrepreneurship

There's No Luck In EntrepreneurshipThere’s No Luck In Entrepreneurship No luck in entrepreneurship … well maybe just a little bit … But seriously, success as an entrepreneur is more about doing the things you need to do to create it doing the work when nobody’s looking. It’s about the staying up late, the getting up early. It’s about all of the missed opportunities, the failures, the struggles, the challenges, the things that happen when absolutely nobody’s around, and the way that you’ve got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep going when nobody’s looking

We love this video from our good friend, fellow entrepreneur and mentor David Sharpe

There’s No Luck In Entrepreneurship Video

As Dave says, a lot of people will see you out doing things like he’s doing in the video, going out to do some offshore fishing with his daughter

Some of the things people see us doing like riding horses along the beach in the sunset in Costa Rica, learning to surf, swimming with dolphins … these are all things that have come as a result of us building our online business, becoming online entrepreneurs and we think that what Dave says totally sums it up :-

“…. as an entrepreneur, a lot of times people are going to see you doing things, they’re going to see you out having fun, enjoying your life, spending time with your kids, making money, see you on stage, driving nice cars, living in nice homes, and they’re going to say, “Wow, what a lucky guy. What a lucky girl. Man, they really caught a break. Wow, must be nice.” But the truth is … and you know the truth and I know the truth … that there is no luck involved in this process. That this process is about doing the work when nobody’s looking. It’s about the staying up late, the getting up early. It’s about all of the missed opportunities, the failures, the struggles, the challenges, the things that happen when absolutely nobody’s around, and the way that you’ve got to pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep going when nobody’s looking…

When nobody’s there to congratulate you or thank you or give you a hug, or when there’s nobody there to give you a standing ovation, you’ve got to find the motivation to keep going. If you can find that motivation to keep going, and if you can find the ability to pick yourself up and dust yourself and persevere and continue to push through the challenges that all of us face, whether we’re just starting our business or whether we’re taking it from seven to eight or eight to nine figures, then you too will be able to be at peace when you’re out driving that Range Rover, that Rolls Royce or that Bentley, or living in that five or ten thousand square foot home …”

So we’ll leave you with that thought that as entrepreneurs we know what it takes to reap the rewards of a successful business and if you have the right mindset, the right coaching and training, the right system and the right people to work with you can achieve the success you want as an entrepreneur:-)

The Hero’s Journey

The Hero’s Journey

The Hero's JourneyThe Hero’s Journey : For the purpose of this article the hero can also be the heroine as you will soon discover.

The “hero’s journey” applies to starting anything new but in this article we’re going to use it to refer to a business and how you can take someone on a journey to becoming a customer of your business – take them on their own hero’s journey.  Of course if you are the person just getting started in your business then this is your journey too ao you can see it from both sides

What is The Hereo’s Journey?

It’s a FORMULA that almost every single human on this earth gets, bonds and resonates with on a deep level. You can Google it. YouTube it.  In fact there’s loads of information about the hero’s journey all based on  Joseph Campbell “Myth of The Hero Journey” – most versions share this formula in a fun way through animation and film clips.

For a hilarious breakdown we headed over to YouTube and did the search for you – “The Hero’s Journey Glove and Boots” and here it is (business should always be fun and if you can teach like this there’s no better way in our opinion)

The Hero’s Journey Glove And Boots

Again, it’s simple enough to get …

Nearly every story has a relatable character, in an ordinary world. He’s called to an adventure. He doubts himself, or refuses the call at first. Then, he encounters a mentor. He battles an enemy. There’s conflict. And there’s always a reward.

That’s it in a nutshell.

Again, this applies to nearly EVERY MOVIE or STORY in existence.

Take Star Wars for example…

Luke Skywalker lives on a farm with his aunt and uncle. He’s called to an adventure, yet is reluctant to go, wanting to stay and help on the farm. He accepts his calling, and meets his mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi. His enemy is Darth Vader. He also has an inner enemy that holds him back. He doesn’t believe in himself. He gets over his inner demons and learns the force, eventually saving the galaxy.

See how you can use this formula in your business following along with the format.

And here’s an advanced tip : Always make your CUSTOMER the HERO. Not you. Help them to see and believe in the simple plan (the force) that will help them reach their destination.

And you won’t need to “convince” and “sell” your product (The light saber.)

Hope this helps as you grow your customer base and build your business!

This is the system we’re using personally… (see if you can spot the Hero’s Journey in the video ..

Thanks for reading and hope this humerous look through the eyes of the hero’s journey through the animation of glove and boots helped you see how important this kind of thing is in your business success
