Master the Entrepreneur Mindset: Be First, Then Do

 BE before you can DO Entrepreneurship is a very rewarding endeavor, if you are a natural creator. I use the word creator because most times you are doing just that...creating.  In its broadest sense it is defined as: The capacity and willingness to develop, organize and manage a business venture along with any of its risks in order to make a profit. The fear of failing is a legitimate concern that prevents many people from quitting that job they hate and launching out and fulfilling a dream or goal that they have.   My goal is not to go through the steps of creating a business, there are countless books on this topic. My aim is to help you to understand what is necessary to guarantee your success at whatever venture you decide to undertake.  Before you buy a new computer, take out your legal pad or anything; you need to stop and ask yourself; what is it that I feel that I am here to accomplish? What is that activity that makes me feel really happy and fulfilled? What activity would I be content with doing even if I made no money doing it? Once you know the answers to those questions. Seek guidance from God, your higher source or whatever title you use, sit down and write down your mission statement.  What many people still don’t realize is that your spirituality is the conduit for wealth, happiness and success. Without balance in your spiritual life the other three are not sustainable.  There are people in the world that have a kind of success outside of God's principles but if you were able to sit and speak with them you would discover that it came with a heavy price tag spiritually that you would never want to pay and there is also no permanence to their success. It can be lost at any moment.  So unless you want to be a depressed billionaire…(yes you can have lots of money and still feel depressed, )get your spiritual life on track. This has nothing to do with church, priest, rosaries or the like, although; if any or all of that gets you to recognize your own personal power and the existence of a creator that wants you to have everything that you want to have.  Jesus (Yehuasha) spoke about putting new wine into old wine skin. He said that the old wine skin would not be able to hold the new wine ; it would break because of the vibrance and strength of new wine and the weakness of the old skin. It just would not hold up. (Luke 5: 37-39) It’s the same principle with our spirit and mind. We must allow ourselves to go through a process of change and renewal mentally and spiritually before we can grasp and truly understand truths and principles in spirituality that are the exact same principles needed to be implemented for success in business.  Principles and Universal laws that we never knew existed that guarantee happiness, success and yes wealth.  For a person to try to force themselves to become spiritual or awakened simply because it’s the new catch phrase could have disastrous effects on their lives and specifically their physical and emotional well being.  You must allow yourself to naturally flow through the process no matter how fast or slow you feel that you are growing in comparison to someone else. Your journey is uniquely yours.  Recognize who you are, who’s you are and why you are here. The power that you have innately will flow from this realization. Trust the process.
