Have you seen the movie: The Pursuit of Happyness?

This happens to be one of my favorite movies of all time.
The message is simple and often not fully appreciated.

Have you ever had a dream that you did not protect or talk yourself out of?

Being successful in life and business is a decision – it has nothing to do with fate or your destiny. It has everything to do with being clear about what you want and what you plan to give in very definite terms to get it. Many people in life go through the process of living in an automated way. Some never take the time to figure out exactly who they want to be, and what they plan to do, so they can have what they really want.

When you “want something in life …go get it period.”

Watch this clip and then watch the movie… even if you have seen it before (great learning lessons can be found here and if applied can make all the difference in the world).

This is a CNN profile of teen who created a $30 Million company, BizChair.com. Sean Belnick had an idea (if you have red Napoleon Hill’s book “Think and Grow Rich” this example will make perfect sense) and the desire to make it work. There is a lot to learn from this great example.

Don’t wait for something big to occur. Start where you are, with what you have, and that will always lead you into something greater. Mary Mannin Morrissey

Far too many entrepreneurs miss out on wonderful opportunities because they are waiting for something – a big event, the perfect presentation, the right time, the right circumstances. This is like the anchor leg runner in a relay race standing still waiting for the previous runner to hand him the baton. If he is standing still he will get run over, the baton will be dropped and the race lost.

In order to receive an opportunity you must be running full speed. Then the previous runner can pass the opportunity baton to you in full stride and you can dash toward the goal or finish line.

You or your team members might be saying things like, “I will pick up the pace after this killer quarter is over.” Or, “Once I get past the convention, then I will get organized.” Or, “The moment I get the new presentation I am really going to sell.” If statements like these are floating around your business, it is time to get moving.

In order to succeed you must start where you are, with what you have…

Are you standing still are running hard?

Let’s stay connected and I can let you know when I have a new blog post.
