Congratulations.You can do this. If you're smart enough to select a realistic venture and determined enough to believe in your own abilities, you can do this. Here is the secret to small business success; there is no secret but there are rules: 1. Offer a quality product or service that the market demands. No one is holding back on you. The necessities of small business operations are mentioned here and extensively documented elsewhere. Let this course serve as a first small step in your lifelong business education. The knowledge is there for you to take and implement. From a library, the cost is nothing. From a small business, the reward is boundless. Here is what you will learn from your first day of work and you will continuously relearn as you research: offer a quality product or service which the market demands, offer that product or service at a fair price, and make customer service your number one priority. If you do this, you will succeed. Daily, businesses are being passed from old hands to young. Your generation will become the business, social and political leaders in the new millennium.
You can lead or be led. Why not start today to make yourself a special part of the future? If you decide not to act now, then, when will you?Never presume that you know enough. Research the mechanics of your business and involve yourself with the leaders in your field. Look for the personal and business mentors who want to help you. These mentors are out there with hands extended waiting for you. Just look, ask and listen. Additionally, seek opportunities to help others and become a mentor yourself. You will learn by teaching. Continuing education will make you a creative person and keep your business vibrant and alive. Make self-reliance a matter of pride. Stop whimpering about your lot in life. Stop complaining about what 50,000 or 5,000 or 500 or 5 can't do. Stop listening to the excuses of others. Instead, start proving what you as one person can do. Stop categorizing yourself as anything but a single, determined individual. Assess your strengths and put them to work, first for yourself, then for your family and then for those less fortunate. Stop living your life for others. Start living for yourself. You can run a small business or be a commissioned salesperson and make a very comfortable living for yourself and your family. You can chart your own course in life. You can take a small business and make it large. You can make money and invest and retire early. You can enjoy the leisure time to pursue personal development and make your one life meaningful. Not everyone can do it. Not everyone will do it. You can do it. Lesson Thirty Resources
