Are You a Wanna-be or An Entrepeneur?

Wanna-be’s obsess about ideas.
Entrepreneurs obsess about implementation.

Wanna-be’s seek a perfect plan.
Entrepreneurs execute and adjust the plan later.

Wanna-be’s wait for their lucky break.
Entrepreneurs engineer 4, 5, 6 plans and execute them in tandem,
wagering that at least one plan will get traction.

Wanna-be’s fear looking stupid in front of their friends.
Entrepreneurs willingly risk making fools of themselves,
knowing that long-term success is a good trade for short-term loss of dignity.

Wanna-be’s shield their precious ideas from harsh reality, postponing the verdict of success or failure until ’someday.’
Entrepreneurs expose their ideas to cold reality as soon as reasonably possible.

Wanna-be’s put off practicing basketball until they’ve got Air Jordans.
Entrepreneurs practice barefoot behind the garage.

Wanna-be’s think about the world in terms of COULD and SHOULD.
Entrepreneurs think in terms of IS and CAN BE.

From Perry Marshall's 12 Differences Between Those Who Dream and Those Who Act

So, which are you? A Wanna-Be or an Entrepeneur?

Here's a test:

How many books on network marketing do you own?
How many conference calls are you on each week?
How many people do you talk to about your business each day?

What would you be willing to give and sacrifice to succeed?

If the answer isn't "whatever it takes"- you are just wasting your time.

If you aren't currently reading a book on network marketing or personal development, if you aren't on training calls, and/or you aren't talking with or learning how to improve your business on a DAILY basis... you are a wanna-be.

If you blame others, a lack of money, a lack of knowledge, and/or a lack of time
for your current situation...
you are a wanna-be.

What are the qualities of an entrepeneur?

A willingness to spend their last dime on training or advertising if necessary.

Refusal to wait for their sponsor to return a phone call or e-mail before taking action.

Never complaining that they didn't make a profit in their first few months in a business.

Never putting all of their faith into one system, but instead learning from many systems.

Never complaining about the cost of growing their business, they know it is a small price to pay.

Never being "too busy" or "too tired" to grow their business.

Never asking others if they think that they can "really succeed" in a business.

Always willing to put in more work than they initially get rewarded for.


What difference does any of this make?

Wanna-be's make up the 97% of people who fail in network marketing

Entrepeneurs are the 1% of network marketers that you see on stage, in nice cars, in nice homes, and are at the top of their business.

For some of you, reading this will be an affirmation- that you are on the path to success.

Congratulations! Keep Up the Good Work!

Others of you are pretty mad right now...
how dare SHE call ME a wanna-be!

Just one question:

What Are You Going To Do About It?

Those who are furious will just close this window, and go back to doing things on their own for awhile.
3 months later, they will quit the business.

For many of you, however, this will be an AH-HAH moment. One where you realize that you are a wanna-be,
but have a burning desire to be an entrepeneur.

Why be an entrepeneur?

When you look to join a business...whose team do you want to join?

The person who studies the industry, has a positive attitude, has tasted success and can teach you how to succeed? (the entrepeneur)

or

The whiney, complainer, who doesn't know much except for the canned sales pitch? (the wanna-be)

Now you are probably asking...

Natasha, can a wanna-be become an entrepeneur?

Of Course!

I like to call wanna-be's with a desire to become an entrepeneur...
