Success = Belief + Focus + Action
I recently finished reading a book called The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur by Mike Michalowicz and as I finished up the book, a recurring theme kept coming back to mind that can be applied here with Kyani and building your business. Each and every one of you is now the CEO of your own business and can take it wherever you want, be it grand and far-reaching or small and local. Either way, it will affect the people around you. All of us are at least somewhat affected by risks around us, including the risk of doing this business, but I ran into a sure way to avoid failure in this business while reading this book! These were taken from page 123 of The Toilet Paper Entrepreneur. Ready for the secret?
- Determine what you want. — What I like to call, know your “Why?”
- Set an enabling belief. — What motivates you to do this business? To be here right now? Grab hold of that and don’t ever let go.
- Commit focus and attention to your goal.
- Take the most obvious actions to achieve your goal.
- Monitor your progress, adjusting your actions to realign with your goal.
In another area of the book, Michalowicz also states, “Your success is entirely contigent upon your foundation of enabling beliefs, your relentless focus, and your actions consistent with those beliefs and focus.”
Don’t ever let something that happens unexpectedly or somebody tell you no to change your enabling beliefs, focus or your “why.” If you don’t, you will be successful in this business!
Do something every day. Something little, something big…I don’t care. But do SOMETHING!
