Based on phone calls and conversations, we hear so many express the desire to begin or grow a small business.
What we find out is very few Believe in their idea, have Written a concise Plan of Action, and decided absolutely on a Starting Date of the beginning or the changes implemented to grow.
In essence, they do NOT possess a Business Mindset
Seems that wonderful, workable ideas just lat dormant or suffer short-lived starts.
Have you found that to be true?
What magic wand is waved that allows a few “chosen ones” to apply an action to their Dream and enjoy the benefits of success?
Personally, I do not think it is magic at all. it is nothing more than a person’s Belief in Self and a Burning Desire to accomplish what they have Demanded of themselves. It is not a factor of age, education or capital. However, observation shows most of the “lucky ones” DO invest heavily in their Time and Energy in self-improving. The willingness to “learn” is definitely a strong trait of those enjoying Journeys to Success.
But there is a simple one-two-three easy to apply system.
- Define your Goal
- Write the plan of action
- Apply massive action immediately

Of course, it has always been recommended to have formed a Mastermind Alliance to discuss and share the planning stages and to discuss the progress. We have been conducting two weekly podcasts for the several years.
It was recently on the business development Podcast, You Can Build It that we had the honor of 2 guests, both of whom created and are growing “businesses” THEIR WAY and dong a fine job!
Robert W. Walker is an accomplished and many times traditionally published author of exciting Crime and Mystery novels, many of which are premised on historical facts. Robert shares his experiences with the traditional publishing arena and how frustrating it can be to be the creator of Product and find one’s self at the back of the financial Bus and NOT be in control of the final product.
A few years ago RobertWalkerr decided to re-direct his energy to self Publishing and was aided by the focus of Amazon to the Kindle Reader and the Kindle Book versions. That bold decision was not accepted by many of his peers and the negativity flowed, but Robert realized how much more he will be satisfied being in Control of His own Creations

This is absolutely true and applies to all things in life whether it is a business, self improvement or loving others.
Success is sometimes not rewarded monetary but in feeling your best and living life to the fullest.
