Do You Own Your Business Or Does It Own You?
What was your aim when you went into business for yourself?Chances are you wanted to be your own boss, be in controlof your future, improve your chances of earning a high income,among other things. How are things for you right now? Do you feel in control of your business? How many hours do you put into your business each day? Each week? Will your current business enable youto retire in the next 10, 20 years? Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed by all the administrativetasks involved in running a business? Do you wish life could be simpler? More importantly, if you don't work, does your cash continueto flow (inwards, that is)? You see, if you can't take a vacation for fear that you won't make any money while you're away, or if your business is suchthat you're paid per hour (meaning that if you're not workingyou're not getting paid), then what you are is a glorifiedemployee, and your business owns you. That's not what you signed up for when you started though, is it? What if you discovered a smarter way of doing business, away that ensures that you own the business, not the other wayround, a way that guarantees that you continue to make moneyeven while you sleep (meaning you can go on vacation anytime youchoose without loosing any money - rather you'd still be earning),what would you do? Imagine a business model that allows you to work for at least5-10 hours per week, yet earn whatever income level you setfor yourself. One that can, with dedicated hard work, enable youto retire comfortably within 5 years of your starting out? Thisis not just a theory. People from all works of life, all agesand backgrounds, are doing this. It's happening all around you. Thousands of individuals and large corporations are waking up to the wisdom of this model,as a way to move their products and services to a large numberof 'fish' - customers who want and need them. Will you wise up too? The 'magic ingredient' that makes all this possible is 'leverage'. Not just any sort of leverage though, but leveragethat guarantees that everyone involved benefits equally and hasthe same amount to gain from working with you. You had noble aspirations when you first started out on yourown. If your current business model is not helping you meetthose aspirations, then it's time for you to seek a better way.It never pays to continue in something that isn't working. Seek a better way, and you will find it. Like many others havedone and continue to do. Decide now that you will choose a business model that trulymeets your aspirations, one that will help you achieve thedreams you set out to achieve in the beginning. One that employs'leverage that works'. Get smart: own your own business, and never again let a businessown you.
