Before you can put any portion of this philosophy into successful use, your mind must be prepared to receive it. It begins with study, analysis and understanding of these 3enemies you shall have to clear out to becoming great in the business world. These are Fear, Ignorance & Greed.
The sixth sense will never function while these 3 negations or any of them remain in your mind. The members of this unholy trio are closely related, where one is found the other 2 are close at hand and if you can handle these, you will always succeed.
1. FEAR
Fear is nothing more than mere state of mind. One's state of mind is subject control and directions. Doctors as everyone knows are less susceptible to attack by disease than ordinary layman for reason that they do not fear disease. To become a better business entrepreneur we must learn to master this enemy. Any business you want to go into and you never felt palpitated, then don't go into it, for 2 reasons; either it is a business that everyone is doing eg(recharge card printing which has become so rampant in our vicinity) or it is illegal. The easier the business is the less the profit and the more the competition. Courage is the not just the absence of fear but its mastery.One of the reasons people get afraid could be.
- Past experiences: Because you've done it before and failed, you vow never to try it again. One character of great entrepreneur is that they've had many failures in life and still kept going. Remember when ever you fall, you are only getting stronger and better for the future.
- Lack of blueprint: Imagine a pilot flying a plane without a control tower. When venturing into any business you must be greatly informed about what you going into and also have talked with people that have ideas about it.
- Criticism: Criticism is the one form of service of which everyone has too much. This robs people of their initiative, destroys their power of imagination, limits their individuality, takes away self reliance and does them damage in a hundred other ways. We can understand human nature by constructive suggestions.
IGNORANCE
Is one of the biggest killers. What you do not know will always be a master to you, so if you are ignorant of a particular venture do due research before going into bit. Never assume that you know. One of the reasons people are ignorant is because they are shortsighted. One thing about intellectual property is that they are not tangible immediately. Poor judgement comes into play also since there is no foresight of what is ahead of them.GREED
Everyone who was scammed possesses the spirit of greed. You being told to get a smaller amount of money with expectation of a higher amount in the nearest future which never comes. Instead of investing in your intellect, people prefer to sit and wait while they watch their account grow, which is very impossible. One of the reason people are greedy is- Selfishness; People most times prefer venturing into business without the skill or a partner, all because they want to have all the gains of the business. Mind you that 10% of elephant is better than 100% of rabbit
- Unhealthy competition; The want to impress people around them. So they begin a business they don't have idea of just to be in the game or to be tagged a "business man".
- Instant gratification; This deals with patience. You should you can't get super rich immediately you startup a business. It is a gradual process and with faith, hope and consistency you will be big. It took dangote 30years to get what he wanted. You should have the mindset of not getting rich immediately.
Instead of having these trio demon you can substitute each for:
Fear= Faith
Ignorance= Insight
Greed= Gratitude
Your greatness in life presumable to succumb to your call only when you are ready and beckon on it. To be successful you must find peace of mind. Acquire the material needs of love and above all attain happiness.
