What is your definition of "happiness" is not, Webster's Dictionary, your definition? E 'in the right place at the right time? Choosing the right dealer at a casino? Turning up at a party where your current wife (could be good or bad luck)?
Entrepreneurs seem to be happy as often as possible. People see their success and attribute much of their happiness, happiness. What luck that he thought the idea would work. The luck of the Irish Doyle for Old Men,do not you think? It 'was his luck that patent protection should the need arise.
Passengers in the lives of many attributes of the fate and success of random luck. "Lightning strikes for others, not only to me," is a bromide that the sight of people who are constantly engaged in covering the success. The masses who think they can not see or understand that happiness has little to do with the real achievement of success as an entrepreneur.
In business, luck is created. Luck usually developsof funds transferred from a risk. Entrepreneurs are not passengers: the driver. The drive to succeed and overcome obstacles associated with trying to set up any new business requires unity, courage and passion. Not much luck!
This is not to say that luck never happens, and unappreciated. It occurs and it is estimated. But if happiness raises his happy face, it is usually a confluence of hard work meet opportunity! If a contractor accidentally bumps into a financingSource and enjoy a latte at Starbucks tomorrow, that luck or the result of a business proposal that is flavored right?
My experience is that entrepreneurs create happiness for stirring a unique blend of personal qualities. Some or all of the following characteristics are evident in every success of the Wright brothers to Mary Kay Ash. These qualities are necessary ingredients to make true that luck occurs.
Confidence
Every entrepreneur is always fear. FearThe failure is palpable. We can not bear the thought of failure and will do everything possible to avoid it. The need for success is a trust that develops through its innovative product, their latest success and the benefits of their product will produce shows for the consumer. Confidence stifled by fear. Fear generates inertia. Failures are always afraid to try to fail, to criticize. The trust must be a brutal market is through hard work, study, have earned the successPreparation and response to obstacles.
We all have doubts. However, successful entrepreneurs to overcome the fear and doubt and confidence grows as they address their task. The trust has earned a big key to success. There is no luck.
Learning from mistakes
My first sales manager is based on only three basic wisdom of a child on a career in sales:
1. Make all the mistakes you have time!
2. Studying and learning from each otherThe mistakes you make!
3. If you are torn between the decisions, and facing a choice that could lead to an error, make the choice more aggressive!
Everyone makes mistakes. Coca-Cola introduced New Coke, and nearly killed a famous brand in the world. Merck has been severely damaged by the failure of the prescription drug Vioxx. What was the Ford Motor Car Co. in 1958 when they thought the Edsel was introduced? There was the question of a U.S. president, and a trainee. Pete Rose has lost itsalmost certainly in the Hall of Fame baseball gambling.
The key is not the error, but by learning not to repeat the error. The only way to avoid mistakes (almost impossible in all but the most sedentary life) is never to try something new. Entrepreneurs are always on the first try. Those successful aggressive mistakes, learn from their mistakes and to repeat this minimizes the likelihood of errors.
A baseball player is considered a star, when a .300 hit rateachieved. This means that failure is the result of 70% of the time they requested. Players I hate outs. Nobody could have happened in baseball if you try to get a psychological comfort zone, to filter and balance them to make mistakes, learn from the positive output and take a basic skills.
After an out is made, players can not wait to get to their next trip to the plate one more chance. This is the way in which entrepreneurs and after an errordone.
Responsibility
A member of Congress drunk driving crashes the car hits a parked police car and then claim amnesia. The dog has never eaten homework? 20/20 NBC television magazine shows are different men with the closing meetings of the Inter-net hope, a sexual encounter with very young organization. The men, caught in the act, always deny intent, knowledge and responsibility. The top executives of Global Crossing, Adelphia and Enron scandalFailure of his big companies spend thousands of workers their jobs and pensions and millions of investors lost their investment in shares in those companies. And yet no one knew anything happens accused leaders (they say) in their company while taking tens of millions of dollars in annual compensation. Accountability is an endangered quality in a modern world that the psycho-babble of victimology has embraced endless!
When I see the earthZar could and re-engineering of a physical property of the human body, it would be this: The palm of each man with his left hand had a small mirror attached permanently. And every day, several times a day, we could look in the mirror and see the reflection of a man or a mouse. Successful people, including all companies know that I have ever known, full responsibility for every decision they take. Assigning blame to another person or an external constraint is aDistraction.
As human beings we have the unique ability to make decisions, to make the free will and the ability to reason. These tools are denied any form of life. A lion or a fruit works exclusively on a series of pre-programmed instincts. A lion is still responsible for what it kills. E 'in the earth to kill. However, if a person kills, are solely responsible.
Contractor assumes full responsibility for their success and failure. The happiness that many would subscribe to a successfulContractor is in fact an expression of the ability to make sound decisions and to keep the consequences of those decisions.
Resistance
Imagine a boy and dreamed of playing professional football and 10 years and suffers the humiliation, disappointment and failure in trying to achieve this goal. After a career average of high school, playing in a rural community without treatment, has not offered a scholarship to a Division 1 NCAA school. He played for four, largelyinsignificant years in a small school in Iowa. After the study, not the National Football League draft, and he has not offered an audition free agent. He goes to work in a supermarket and starts with a team Arena Football League. The pay-per-game is $ 400.
Interestingly, its growing success in the Arena Football League for several seasons, his name at least one point in the conversation in an NFL office. It seemed a bit 'too old thinking, but maybe worth a test in the NFL areEurope. After a very successful season in Europe, was invited to an NFL training camp. When he started the field, was listed as the fifth quarterback on the depth chart as a team. A violation of a quarterback, then another quarterback injury, and now third in depth, has realized his dream. E 'signed a contract.
Now the story could end here. He is a true NFL quarterback. Target achieved. However, our quarterback stopped fighting and now he wants a team has doneplay, and he knows it will be a star, if given a chance. It takes a season, a few more injuries and gets his shot. At the age of 28 years, he leads his team to a Super Bowl championship, the league Most Valuable Player, called All Pro, signing multi-million dollars.
Kurt Warner, our quarterback is the most unlikely success of the football. Each team of college all the scouts and all the team of his absence. In a sport where players face computerclassified, tested, weighed, time, and interrogated by the High School to an assessment of a player he did not evaluate potential explored. Yet he is one of the best players in professional football.
Persistence can not be taught. Someone left at the first sign of trouble. Edison tested more than 1,000 versions of the lamp before he perfected his invention. Kurt Warner would not say the experts, to be his life's work and the work does not include listening to football. He made hisjoy of work, sweat, sacrifice and endurance.
