I Want What Successful Entrepreneurs Have

As an entrepreneur and person interested in realizing success in life, I experienced many wins and challenges. The one thing that frustrated me more than anything was doing all I could to win. Putting in the hours, making the calls, literally doing everything I could to make it happen, but not getting the results I wanted. I felt like there was something holding me back or some ceiling of success that I had reached. I couldn’t make sense of it or figure it out and it became extremely frustrating for me. I read many self-help books, most likely the same ones you read. To be honest, I still felt like something was missing. I needed something that could pull it all together and allow me to create successful and consistent habits, something that I could put my hands on to help me focus on the right things that would get me results. That’s what I was looking for. I wanted to know what kept Thomas Edison going, trying over a 1,000 times when he wasn’t getting results. I wanted to know how someone like Fred Smith, founder and CEO of FedEx, could find the energy and persistence to forge ahead when he encountered challenges like meeting payroll or the bank coming to take his planes. I wanted to know what a 20-year-old Debbi Fields, founder of Mrs. Fields Cookies, had that allowed her to succeed despite others telling her she couldn’t build a business from only making and selling cookies. I wanted what Colonel Sanders, founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken, had that, at the age of 65, living off social security, allowed him to endure rejection over a 1,000 times. What is it that these entrepreneurs have that allowed them to succeed? I know they must have experienced challenges along the way. How did they overcome these challenges? I know they must have had a vision, belief, and confidence, and certainly they persevered to achieve their goals. But how do you create all this, how do you put it all together to where it makes sense? How can I create that same burning desire or unstoppable power within me so I can reach success? That’s what I wanted to know. I knew it had to be more than just having goals or being positive. I have both and still hadn’t reached the goals I really wanted to. As I started coaching other people in business, it became apparent that I wasn’t the only one who had these thoughts. I realized that success is not driven from just having goals or having a purpose or taking action. There is a Core of Success that brings it all together and makes it happen; it’s the core that provides the unstoppable power within us. It’s that unstoppable power that allows you to overcome, to push through and forge ahead when life is happening. Not engaging the Core of Success leads to lack of results, disappointment and frustration. Live from the Core of Success & Win The Future!
