Dedication to my Goals Let me Succeed
One of the things that really bothers me with new entrepreneurs online is that they all think that they are going to succeed right away. Now, I know that they all have that potential, but honestly, success doesn’t just come to you – it requires a lot of work.
Don’t be discouraged – I just want to be honest with you. It took me seven years to get to the point where I was able to say that I succeeded, though I haven’t made it to the point where I want to be yet. Needless to say, I have been able to leave my fulltime job to pursue my business full time, so it is a step in the right direction.
The biggest challenge for me was to stay positive and persevere. There was no magic formula on how to succeed, or some instruction book to guide me along the way. In fact, there were times that I just wanted to quit, but I just couldn’t give up on my dream – I didn’t want to have to work until sixty five.
Though I failed many times, I was dedicated to succeeding. I had a vision of where I wanted to be in ten years that included the money I had, the car I was going to drive, and the amount of money that I had in my bank account. It was this concrete goal that I had in my minds’ eye that helped me to make choices each day that took me closer to my dream.
The biggest challenge that I faced on my road to success was convincing my wife that it was going to be a possibility. She couldn’t see the money that we were going to make – all she saw was the money going out of the bank account each month. She told me many times that I should just get a job and give up, but that was not an option for me.
Once you have the support of your spouse, things turn around. I was finally able to get her trust when I bought some food for our family from the profits of the business. It was this proof that helped her share my vision and increased my success immensely.
Once I had her support, things fell into place. The business became progressively more profitable and things got better each month. I knew that I was on the right path, and success was right around the corner – I just had to continue working on the things that were bringing in money.
In the last six months, I was finally able to quit my job and the business was able to support us. Not only did I feel a great sense of accomplishment, but there is just something about reaching your goals and living the life that you have always dreamed of. It was my dedication to my future that let me get to this point in my life – if you dedicate your waking moments to your goals, you will have a great success story like this to share someday.
