Do you remember when you were a kid and you thought you could anything?

You still can…

Because a lot of what we consider impossible is easy to overcome…..

Because if you haven’t noticed, we live in a place where one individual can make a difference.

Ask yourself this question! How can I take advantage of this unprecedented shift towards global entrepreneurism?

During these times of uncertainty and global financial insecurity, knowledge is becoming the new currency. The rules are changing. Our challenge is to learn how to survive in an ever-changing world.

“You already have the talents and the skills - there is stuff that you’ve been doing over the last six or seven years that is already interesting enough to enough people worldwide. You don’t need to fit in you don’t have to force yourself into a square hole if you are a round peg any more. Whatever you’ve been doing; think about what you love doing over the last six or seven years. Over the last six or seven years there are things that you’ve loved showing up for – you are already doing it somewhere in your life. It’s the things that you love showing up for that make you influential.

You have arrived at this time in history

Can you imagine how your grandkids will look at you if you waste this opportunity.”

“I was there at the cusp between the industrial revolution where everyone was a wage slave, to the entrepreneur revolution when I could have done anything, and I wasted it.”

words from Daniel Priestley Entrepreneur & Managing Director of Ecademy

Building a successful business is about building a successful team. It does not necessarily have to be hard work; and it definitely does not have to be a relentless struggle.

“Daniel Priestley is passionate about the changing nature of business and work. In 2006 he predicted an “Entrepreneur Revolution” would begin to take hold where regular people could start great small businesses based upon their passion rather than working in stale offices of big corporations.”

This is what Daniel wrote about creating a team for a start-up business:

“So much emphasis goes onto the importance of business planning however in my experience this matters very little to a start-up business (Unless it is raising capital).

I have seen businesses start out with complex financial modeling, forecasts, projections and schedules, and big ticks in all the boxes from the Government Agencies who supposedly know something about starting-up. Despite all the planning they fail hard and fail fast.

So what is the key then… I believe it is Entrepreneurial Teams.

Small groups of people who have an amazing ability to pull things together under all sorts of conditions. They get sales in the door, deliver upon the promises of the business, keep costs down, start early, finish late, communicate powerfully and stand strong under pressure.

These are some of the most valuable people I’ve always had when starting up…

1. A graphic designer – They can create your sales forms, business cards, bang up a web site and make a tiny business look respectable.

2. A good sales guy - Genuine, likable and can still ask that tough question “Would you like to pay with Credit Card or Cash”

3. An office Wiz – Organised, flexible, frugal, detail orientated

4. A mentor – Outside the business, successful, wise, been around the block, available for late night chats over a drink.

5. A visionary - big picture focused, good at delegating, hard working and can communicate the vision of the business and bring in new partnerships.”

Focus on finding the right people for your team and everything else will fall into place effortlessly.

“It’s a force that appears to be negative, but actually shows you how to realise your destiny. It prepares your spirit and your will, because there is one great truth on this planet: whoever you are, or whatever it is that you do, when you really want something, it’s because that desire originated in the soul of the universe, It’s your mission on earth.”

“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you achieve it.”

Remember always, “I create my life”.

Whatever I FOCUS on, I CREATE.

Once we understand the full implication of this statement, we can begin to take control of our lives. When we can apply this to our thoughts about money, we begin to take control of our financial future.

If you catch yourself saying to yourself things like; “I can’t afford……” or “I don’t deserve……..”, or even “……….. won’t happen for me!” you can start to change your outcome.

His message was clear – “If you are going to survive financially over the next 5 to 10 years, you MUST take control of:

1. Your Mind
2. Your Income
3. Your Expenses

Simplify your lifestyle & spending and, most importantly, learn how to manage your money. Begin by getting financially educated.

I have said this before; but if you intent to head out on a path towards financial freedom, it is vital you understand & learn about money and how it works. The best place to start is by reading Rich Dad Poor Dad.

.

When it comes to managing your money:

1. Use systems
2. Review your systems regularly
3. Adapt your systems (to the market and to any changes in external circumstances)
