Home Business Blueprint: Weather the Storm & Overcome the Obstacles within the Home Business Blueprint You’ve done it. I’ve done it. We’ve all done it. Whether it’s New Years Day or just coming back from a long trip, we make a vow that we will start a new life. A new life where we change everything and begin to stop worrying, start producing and start living! But…then real life hits us square in the face. BOOM! We stall…get sidetracked and then our new “life” is put on the back burner until we “get around to it”. If you’re in search of a new home business blueprint, this article will illustrate the 7 major road blocks you need to overcome: 1. The Security Blanket. Ahh, this one is easy. It’s just so easy to stay in this “rut” because no matter what (knock on wood) that paycheck comes every two weeks. Hey, we all have bills to pay, so this makes a lot of sense. Job security is everyone’s excuse on why they wouldn’t invest in a new business or take the time to learn a new trade. But the reality is, as long as you keep doing the “status quo”, you’re still going to see the same results. In order to get ahead in the home business blueprint, you need to spend the extra time to make new endeavors happen. 2. Hypnotized in Routine. Abraham Lincoln once said "It is not the years in the life that matter, but the life in the years." Most people do the same exact thing from the time they wake up to the time they go to bed. Don’t get me wrong, a productive and positive routine can be a great thing, but in order to get some new blood flowing, you need to switch things up every once in a while. Instead of getting up at 8:00am, wake up at 5:30am and watch a sunset… instead of taking your sack lunch to work, go to the best steakhouse in town and get a T Bone during lunch, instead of watching CIS: Philadelphia, read a self improvement book. Treat yourself, live “life”, and try to improve yourself all the time and any time you have the opportunity. You will start to learn new ways of solving problems, new opportunities you have never heard before and you will start thinking “outside the box”. 3. Naysayers. This is a BIG ONE. Have you ever heard the Mark Cuban’s and Warren Buffet’s of the business world say “Surround yourself with Great people”? Well, there’s a reason for that… great people are usually positive people and vice versa. When you fraternize with negative people all the time, it not only causes you to be negative, but it wears on you. Being around negative people makes me tired, annoyed and very unproductive. The best thing you can do is step away and start thinking, talking and living positive. This is a major step in the home business blueprint. 4. Motivation (or Lack Thereof). You can almost chalk this one up to the obstacle #3, but sometimes you are just not motivated to do anything. This happens to all of us at one point or another. I have been in sales my entire life and experienced a lack of motivation over and over. I have to constantly remind myself that giving up or taking my foot off the proverbial “pedal” is not an option. EVER. When you are in need of motivation, find something that moves you…whether it’s a song, a memory of the good times (or bad times), or your family, you need to find that special inspiration, grab it and use it. Lack of motivation can be dangerous, snowballing your life into major trouble within your home business blueprint. 5. Not Investing in YOU. The engine that generates your income is YOU. If you want to get of the rut, be your own boss and create a new life, you absolutely need to invest in you. Invest in learning. Invest in growing. Invest in trying to get better each and every day. Mentally and even physically, you need to create the time and invest in making yourself a better person. Don’t get too overwhelmed when you are taking on a new endeavor—learning and cultivating is a process and takes time. The adoption, recognition and execution of this step is the most important thing you can do in the home business blueprint. 6. The Story YOU Create: Everyone has a story. Everyone. The best way to discuss a new endeavor with someone is to make it personal. Be honest. Tell your story of where you were, how you started and how you arrived where you are today. A story that someone can relate to creates trust, thus a bond between the both of you. The home based business is all about helping the next person and paying it forward. Earning someone’s trust is crucial. A solid story is a huge step in the home business blueprint. 7. Pride and Ego. This is one is another “all of the above”. We all have an ego…whether it’s large or small, our ego’s can get in the way. Depending on where we are in life, our ego can be somewhat of a false compass… it can make us believe that we are in line for greatness… our ego’s can make us think “hey, as long as we stay the course, we will hit it big sooner or later”…it is our destiny! Ego’s can convince the mind that we are better than taking on another business endeavor or “I’m above that” mentality. The truth is, with that kind of thinking, you’ll never attain greatness. You may be happy staying the course and gaining little by little, year after year…. But, you will never achieve true financial freedom. Never achieving true time freedom to do whatever you want, whenever you want. Not having to worry about the next paycheck, not having to worry about retirement, not having to worry about where you kids are going to school and just living life like everyone should: care-free and happy. I see it too many times where people accept mediocrity because they think they don’t need to get involved with another business. They are “fine” right where they are. You have to get past your ego and realize that there is something bigger than what you are doing and you need to have the dreams, goals and motivation to get there—and you can with a little hard work and persistence following the home business blueprint. Again, we all have these obstacles in our lives… it’s all a matter of believing in yourself and taking an honest look in the mirror. You have to be truthful of where you are now and realize you are capable of so much more. Anyone can achieve financial freedom and kick down the doors to success, but you have to be willing to put in the work and not fold when things get tough. Small storms and large storms will visit you frequently, but it all comes down to one thing when following the home business blueprint: NEVER GIVING UP!
