What do you want?

Everyone wants success, money and excellence in their life. Some want it to belittle others. Some want it because they fear exposure and vulnerability. Some want it to do noble things. Intention. We want, we have a goal but what is the intention behind it? This is a question you must ask yourself when you set out to achieve these goals. What is your INTENTION of being self-employed or owning a business. Just to make money is not a bad intention. To judge an intention, you need a criterion. You choose that criterion. God help you if you chose the wrong one though!

Now, in business , we want to own companies and run setups that ARE successful and excellent. We have many models of the perfect business setup. We have many examples. We copy strategy and we adopt systems. However, we often do not find success even when we replicate the system of a successful company. Why does that happen? One reason is that company XYZ is a known brand and we are not. Another is that the owners had a vision we do not. So, copying a setup or going by a text-book maybe an option but not always a good one.

Recently, someone told me that for them success is ensuring strong clients and regular clients. I argue that this is an objective and success is a goal. Do not mix the two. Someone may not have very strong clients and many clients, yet they may be more successful depending on their criteria of success. The reason why I would not talk about my criteria for success or my vision is because I would not want anyone to adopt it. I would rather have each person DISCOVER and UNVEIL their own definitions and goals and then make them come true. What I have may look great, but it may not be what you want or need. Our minds are different. Each one of us is unique. So, how can I educate anyone in business with my own experience. My experience was strictly mine.

My experience, however, was given to me so that I can go to the depth of the mind and define the starting point in business. And, that is universal and not specific to me.

Business processes, marketing , strategy, operations and displays are not rocket science. Any tom , dick and harry can adopt those or even create those. It is Intention and then Goals/ missions. When these are defined, objectives become obvious and the strategy reveals itself. That is the magic of life. I can tell you from now, the TOP business owners of this world did what they WANTED because they believed they could have and they INTENDED well.  You will see that these people also became the biggest investors in Humanitarian causes around the world. Whereas, just the money minded, strategy copy cats and show offs DID achieve some level of success but disappeared after a while or went totally broke because of some law suit. Do you see the simplicity of Donald Trump? I do.

When you set out to earn a living in this world through either a job or a business – discover yourself and define your goals and missions first and ask yourself WHY these are your goals and missions. I would even go to the depth of asking you to ask yourself : Why do I want a million dollars? Do I want to have a lot of money or do I just love being independent financially? HONESTY with the self. All these WHY’s will get you answers. These answers will bring about definitions and clarity and remove the nonsense and illusions. And that is growth. Whatever you own will not grow , until you do.

So, What do you want?
