Entrepreneurs: Thinking Differently About Wealth and Success


I've had several interesting conversations lately with people that want to start a business, be an entrepreneur and create wealth. These are individuals who want better financial results, they want their own business, and they want freedom. I'm amazed at how ready people are to listen to the broke, tired, negative, worn out people around them when it comes to making a business decision to become independent.

As a matter of fact, it's downright scary for a 97%-er to see a fellow drone break out of their drone-ness to contemplate a different experience out of life. It's like the old story of the crabs in the crab pot with the lid open. If there's just one crab in there, she'll easily and readily climb her way out to freedom. If there are multiple crabs and one makes a run for it, the other crabs will reach up and hold onto that crab preventing her from escaping.
For many people, it's a far too painful experience for them when someone in their circle breaks away to claim something significant for themselves -- whether it's wealth, a new business, a new relationship, or perhaps a new believe or value set. It's painful because of the light and clarity it sheds on what's so -- what's reality for the person who wants to prevent the change. They're painfully reminded of their own dreams that died months, years, or even decades ago.....

We are all creatures of choice and creation though. Nothing is as it is to us that we don't allow. We create our own experience moment by moment. It is our great gift and our greatest curse!! We are responsible 100% of the time for our experience here on the planet.

Taking responsibility for our own results is the very first step in setting forth an entrepreneurial course. It is the only way we will truly experience what our choices bring to our reality. To become wealthy, to acheive success in financial terms, relationships, creative endeavors all begins with personal responsiblity.

Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own reality. Let the naysayers, and the negative people in your circle be responsible for their experience -- You be responsible for yours.... it is the law of attraction and the law of the universe at work in it's purest representation.

Apologies for waxing philospophic here.... just finished reading "Conversations with God: An Uncommon Diaglogue", by Neale Donald Walsch.
