Build a positive business

Take positive action.

They’ll have an impact on your life.

You first need to know yourself. Then you need to change what is negative to something positive.

Actions will make you feel good and it will help you creating a momentum in your life toward good things.

Good actions brings good reaction. If you keep on doing it, they’ll keep coming.

“Your positive action combined with positive thinking results in success.”

- Shiv Khera

When you do good actions, you bring others into realising that it can be done. And some of them will follow your example. Doing good bring good. Keep working on it every day. Do your best to do one good action every day.

Most over estimate what we can do in a day and under estimate what we can do in a year.

Focus

If you want something to become great, then focus on promoting it. If you split your promo with others stuff, then you show everyone that you don't believe in it. Why would others believe it?

Sometimes, people whine about the low result they get. To get result, you have to focus. Yes, it’s that simple. Put all your energy into that one things you want to accomplish.

I get angry when I find out about people that are promoting 4 to 5 different stuff, and think that it’s ok to do so. Then they complain about the low result they get.

First, don’t complain. It’s never going to get you anywhere. 

Second, you have to choose what you really want to do first. And when you choose, then work on it. Work on it for a long time. Not for one day or one week, not even one month, but at least 12 months.

Your focus

When you focus your attention on something, you invest your energy into it.

Choose wisely what you focus on. You could end up working against yourself.

“Miracles start to happen when you give as much energy to your dreams as you do to your fears…”

- Richard Wilkins

Miracles are results to actions taken.

Every time you put something positive into the universe, the world changes. Your kindness invites miracles to show up, not just in your world, but in the whole world.

Fear is there to help you understand what really matters to you. When you face your fear, you are on your way to miracles.

Learn the rules first

Making the rules is never something that you get at first.

You have to learn to play along the rules that are there. When you’ll master the game, then you’ll have what it takes to make a new game.

What ever you want to master, you have to learn before you can claim to be a master. There’s no short cut into this.

You can learn in so many ways. It can be to try and learn. It can be to read and learn. It can be to listen and learn. It can be to watch and learn. The best would be to take them all. You can’t choose only one and hope to perform as a master. You need to get them all before you can reach for the golden ring and become one of the few.

Masters are not perfect, they learn from their mistake and the ones of others. Even a master needs to learn a little more every day if he wants to accomplish anything.

How do you know when you are a master? When you realize that you’re having fun doing it right. It’s that simple.

Simple is good

I found out that simple is better. When you want to communicate with others, it’s always better when you can say what you want to say with simple words.

Look at all the great historic speech. They’re simple and clear. Some of them has been created many years ago and we still can understand them.

“Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.”

- Confucius

If you have the tendency to complicate things up, take the time to rewrite everything you create.

“That's been one of my mantras - focus and simplicity. Simple can be harder than complex: You have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple. But it's worth it in the end because once you get there, you can move mountains.”

- Steve Jobs

Simple will touch a larger market. If you can build simple products that are filling a need, you can take the market. Everybody likes simple things that are working well.

Do you have a good reason to do it?

We live in a world where you can find a lot of good reason to do nothing. It’s accepted to be idle and stay behind.

“If you don’t have a good enough dream, you’ll end up finding good enough reason to quit on it.”

- Serge Cote

It’s around one in ten people that will keep going on.

It’s also a little less than one in ten that are among the rich people. The people, who don’t give up, are also the people who are getting a lot more.

You can find a lot of reason to stay on your ass. It’s really easy. But what is usually easy doesn’t bring much. I’m sorry if I have to break the glass of illusion that has been put in front of your eyes. Easy action will never bring much. Hard action will bring you more. And when I say hard, I mean hard for you. Never compare yourself with others. Do what’s hard for you and you’ll bring more to you. Surpass yourself and it will show in your result. Maybe not at first, but in the end you’ll always get it.

“If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it. It's the hard that makes it great.”

 - Tom Hanks

In our world, we protect the lazy. We support the people who aren’t doing the best they can. We attack the people who are giving all to make it better then most.

Better yourself

You are your biggest obstacle to yourself.

There is no way for you to be more then you see yourself.

There is no way for you to be better then you see yourself.

If you don’t take the time to work on yourself, then you’ll stay at the level you are now.

“You’ll never get higher then how you see yourself.”

- John C. Maxwell

Before anything, you need to have the desire to better yourself.

Then, you have to accept that there’s work to do before you can hope to better yourself. At this point, most will give up. Most want to better themselves without putting any work. They want the magic pill.

And last, you have to accept to become better. You have to be able to see yourself better.

There’s so many people that are putting a lot of work and energy without believing that any of that will work out. And then, they get angry to see that they were right to think it would not work.

If you think it will not work, then it won’t.

Action

Doing and mistaking goes together. People that are doing are the ones involve in mistake. But they are also the ones involve with success.

Successful people have all been making mistakes.

“A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing.”

- George Bernard Shaw

Success is directly associated with mistakes.

Your capacity to adjust and keep going on is directly linked to your success.

Mistakes are only steps onto success.

You have to keep on doing and adjust.

If you keep on doing the same thing again and again without adjusting to make it better, you are doom to keep on making the same mistakes.

“Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

- Albert Einstein

Delay to Profit

When you can delay using the benefit you get early in a business. Your later return will be a lot bigger.

First, you need to know how much your profit is (when the expenses of your business is covered). If your expenses are higher than your income, you need to take action. Profit should never be negative.

Once you know the amount of your profit, then you set it aside. Use only what you really need. The rest you split it in two, reinvest one part wisely into growing your business and the other part you set aside as a security for bad days.

Knowing what you need and what you don’t is the difficult part in this. We all want the good life and knowing when we can afford it can become a real headache.

Start with the basic.

-          House

-          Groceries

-          Life expenses (internet, car, cloth, electric bill, cell phone, gas bill, assurance)

Once you know what you need to clear all the basics, you can have a good idea of what you can invest back into your business.

You have to set up monthly goal that you will use to celebrate your success. When you reach your goal, use a part of your reinvestment profit to celebrate. It will keep you motivated and you’ll still have something to invest back into your business.

Your security money should be easily available for emergencies. You’ll have to use it only when your business is not providing for itself. When this happens, you have to do an analysis and change what need to be changed so the next month it will not be as bad. The security money is there for emergencies. You should never use it two month in a row. 

Are you a zombie?

I’ll stop learning when I’ll be dead.

Your environment will bring you what you need. All you have to do is to be open and let it in. Learning is not only related to school. You can learn much more from your day to day life. You only need to be open and let it in.

“Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.”

 - Benjamin Franklin

I enjoy learning. I enjoy when I understand something that I didn’t get to grasp before. I like to find inspiration where I never got any before. 

Create and build something that I haven’t done before is the most wonderful result from learning.

“It is what we know already that often prevents us from learning.”

 - Claude Bernard

To have an open mind into learning something new is what will keep you alive. There are so many zombies around us; it’s wise to take only the best from those who are not learning anything new. You could end up with outdated information.

Zombies don’t like to be told what they are. Let them be and think that they don’t need to learn anymore. Invest your energy into more productive action.

Make big difference

Success is made up from a lot of little actions.

Each little action are linked to something very powerful…   Attitude

“Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.”

- Winston Churchill

Your attitude is influenced by your action. If you consciously choose to do something, you influence your attitude.

You can choose to have a productive attitude.

Your attitude will show in everything you do.

“People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.”

- John C. Maxwell

Looking thru a filter

How do you see the world?

Are you looking at the world thru the filter of the news media?

The news media is presenting a vision of the reality. They filter the reality and show you what they choose. Yes, they’ll say that it’s what you want to see. But, as they all show the same kind of filtering vision, you end up with nothing else then that filtered information.

I know that the media will tell you one side of the story. I know because I’ve been working 13 years for a first line emergency services. What you get with the news is just what they want to share with you. They choose what you need to know. They don’t tell lies, they only place aside some of the facts.

You choose to let the junk inside your mind.

The news choose what they tell you and you choose to listen to it.

When you let negative energy into your mind, it can only bring negative though and negative return in the end.

Don't give up

Never give up. You could be close to accomplishing something great.

“Don't quit. Never give up trying to build the world you can see, even if others can't see it. Listen to your drum and your drum only. It's the one that makes the sweetest sound.”

 - Simon Sinek

Nothing great is ever done after giving up.

“I have a motto on my bedroom wall: 'Obstacles are what you see when you take your eye off the goal.' Giving up is not my style. I just want to do something that's worthwhile.”

 - Chris Burke

Bumps on the road are there to let you know that you are moving forward.

Bumps on the road are helping you staying focus. They kept you awake so you know where you are and where you are going.

Are you daily working on your business?

"Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after another."

- Walter Elliott

Slow and steady win the race.

To do it everyday takes discipline, focus and dedication.

Some people are trying to do it once a week or even once a month. The longer you take to come back to build your business, the harder it will be to do so. When you jump a day, the next day it’s harder to come back. And the more days you skip, the harder it will be.

You can’t build it in one day. If it was possible, we would all be millionaire.

“The secret of your success is determined by your daily agenda.”

- John C. Maxwell

I hate agenda. I hate clock. But nothing is achieved without planning. We all have to work with the time we have and use it to the best of our capacity. If you are like me, then start with planning only a few things a day. Work on them and get the job done. And don’t forget to celebrate.

Planning to celebrate is as much important as anything else in your day.

Really Dedicated?

Are you dedicated? Are you dedicated to your dream?

“We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.”

- Jesse Owens

We all have dreams. The only differences between someone whose dreams become reality and someone whose dreams stays unrealized are determination, dedication, self-discipline and effort.

The door is open, you only have to take action and step in. All dreams can become reality.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

- Walt Disney

Follow this simple system:

-         Dream: Dare to dream. Dream without limit. Dream with all your heart.

-         Write: Put your dream on paper. Choose to build them and write a date on which you will get them. When you write it down you give yourself a very good reason to do it.

-         Do: Start to do something toward achieving your dream. You’ll adjust and change as you go along. But keep going forward your dream. Never stop.

There is no guaranty to success. There’s no way you can know when you’ll reach your dream (even if you write a date for it).

When you write your dream on paper with a date, you give your subconscious mind a command to work with you toward achieving your dream. You subconscious mind is always working on your command. Whatever you gave him, he will do.
