Your Earning Potential
How much is ones earning potential ? It really depends on how well you understand yourself. A lot of individual plunge into business without knowing what are they doing. The only thought in their mind at that point of time was probably making money. Yes, they would have done their research on the demand of their product. They would have calculated and planned their business budget and business well. They have lots of future plan on developing the business should their career take off. Yet, their business fail. Some of them were forced to close down while others earn only a fraction of what they had initially expect from the market.
What went wrong ? Nobody knows. Everybody starts blaming on ‘uncontrollable’ factors for the failure business. They took a hit and some never came back building another business. Some try their luck on other entity. Again, some failed. Only a minority successful ones, who learned from their mistake succeed. Again, what went wrong ? The answer you get is, "Starting your own business is hard and almost impossible if nobody gives you the opportunity, Its best to be be an employee than an employer. Its the safest bet !"
While I never say that becoming an entreprenuer is easy, its actually not as hard as it seems. The only thing which seperates all the successful and the failures is Passion.
Most of the business fail because they picked an entity which they see money potential, but the thing they miss out is that they do not have any passion in that particular subject. If you look at all the successful people in the world, they have in their blood, a passion for something which they sell or promote. E.g. Michael Jordan became the best basketballer of all time because of his passion for the game. George Lucas became successful in his venture into special effects on star wars because he has that passion for it.
The truth is, every individual has a potential of earning a huge amount of money doing something he love. Why is this so ? When a person has a passion for something, everything else seems secondary. The beliefs will be so strong that it is virtually impossible to be shaken. Because you have a vision for what you believe, everything will come through no matter what it takes. Because you have a passion for something, you will learn everything that comes along this line, making you an expert in that field and a mentor for people who sees you as a guru. There is no boredom in what you are doing and because of that, you will enjoy what you are doing and its motivational to improve along the line. There are a lot more reasons like improved sense of achievement, the thirst to know more, new ideas for improvement, new questions, new problems to solve etc.
Now, I would like to seperate a few ideas and define passion as compared to needs. Some may argue that they love to sleep, so should they go along this line ? If a person is interested in a comfortable bed or sleeping patterns, Yes ! If you basically mention that you like sleeping and have no compelling reasons behind it, then, sleeping is not your passion ! Sleeping is just a need for every human being. If you are tired you sleep. If there is boredom, you sleep. But do you really know what sleeping is about ? We take sleeping for granted and would not know what is it like for people who suffer from insomnia ! For me, I like to sleep and I sleep alot ! but when it comes to doing something which I like, I would give up my sleep and do what I really love to. In fact, I am typing this at 4am in the morning and I have a flight to catch at 9am tomorrow ! you see, you need to differentiate what is a need, what is it that you like, and what is your passion.
My advice is simple, for all individual reading this article who wants to start a business career making money online or offline, find out what is your passion before venturing into all kinds of different business entity. Take what you have learned from this site and promote your passion, share it with the people who shares this passion with you. Only then you can build trust and relationship while expanding your business, now thats Art…
