I always like to share inspirational thoughts and ideas I receive from fellow entrepreneurs. I recently received an email from a colleague and decided before I was finished reading it that I needed to add some of its ideas to my blog because it really portrayed my own thoughts and feelings as well. I also thought it was so important that any of my blog readers have the priveledge to read it and reflect upon it; so here it is with mixed with some of my own personal thoughts:

Don’t let any one fool you…being an entrepreneur is not an easy
task (at first). Being an entrepreneur takes a certain kind of
quality which I like to refer to as “Inner Game”.

YOur Inner Game is your will inside that keeps you going. That keeps you believing that success is yours.

You see, if your Inner Game isn’t in order…you are probably not
going to be able to overcome the difficult obstacles EVERYONE faces
when starting their own business.

It’s almost like you need to have this BULLISH mentality, of
charging through any and all adversity, like NOTHING will ever stop
you from achieving your goal. NOTHING!

When that is your mentality, you can dive into
entrepreneurship head first and just plow through obstacles to find
solutions.

Nobody knows everything. Do you think Bill Gates knew how to make
$40 billion dollars when he started Microsoft?

It just doesn’t work that way. If you are sitting around thinking
“I need to know everything before I start a business” you have
entrepreneurship completely backwards and you will never get started.

Being an entrepreneur is KNOWING you are able to be an entrepreneur.
And the rest just follows. The marketing, the data, the details
about businesses; all that stuff is SECOND to whether or not you
believe in yourself enough to make it all happen.

You have to KNOW yourself, and TRUST
yourself that you can do what you set your mind to.

Just trust yourself.

Just TRUST YOURSELF.

The information will follow, the
people to help get you there will follow, the teachings will follow,
but none of it will follow…unless you trust yourself.

There’s a second side to this coin. You have to trust your
intuition. If you feel like you aren’t ready to build a business,
then DON’T force it.

Take some time to build your confidence, to build your value, and
build your belief level in yourself. Take the time you need to grow
as a person. Because when you do that, you are truly ready to
declare “I Want Financia’l Freedom” and have the right internal
framework to go get it.

Now don’t use that as an excuse to be lazy! If that is your way of
putting off taking action, you are DOUBLE lying to yourself. All I
am saying, is know where you are at in life, honor that position,
and trust that you are guiding yourself in the best direction.

Don’t ever be afraid to seek information, and ask questions either!
You will be amazed at how the universe responds when you put
yourself out there. Just trust.

I am going to share a quote with you before I go today.

“Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole
staircase, just take the first step.” -Dr. Martin Luther King
