Yesterday, I shared with you this thought…
YOUR BUSINESS IS YOUR MASTERPIECE….NOT YOUR PRISON!
Today, let’s expand on it…
Online entrepreneurs can be separated into two different groups by the way they think…
Owners -or- Victims
Here’s what I mean…
Right now in your business you are either an owner of your outcomes, or you’re a victim of your circumstance.
Entrepreneurs who are victims, don’t realize the power they have to alter the results they’re getting. They fail to exercise their creativity to solve the current challenges standing in their way. Instead they give all their power away to circumstance. The net result — their business ends up getting worse and worse.
Entrepreneurs who are owners take ownership of every situation of their business. They realize they grow with each challenge they overcome. So they come up with creative solutions to their current obstacles. And in the process their skills get better and better…
Entrepreneurs who act like owners stay in the “profitable now.” They give all themselves to what they’re doing in the moment. They stay committed to the outcomes they’ve established and invest all their energy into achieving them.
You see, owners realize this…
Future business success is only created in the present moment. The small task, activity, or project you’re focused on right now will impact your business’ future more than all the excuses, worries, and fears you could possibly stack on top of each other.
Owners embrace the philosophy shared by Ralph Waldo Emerson when he wrote…
“Don’t wast life in doubts and fears. Spend yourself on the work before you, well-assured that the right perfromance of this hour’s duties will be the best preperation for the hours and ages that will follow it.”
So, for today, pick one excuse you’ve been using in your business and come up with all the different actions you could take that would begin to eliminate it once and for all.
If you get stuck, or you come up with a great new approach – share your obstacle or success by commenting below.

I’ve tried contacting your “support team” multiple times since December 22, 2009 and have yet to get a straight answer about a simple problem. Please wake up the idiots behind the keyboard and respond to my ticket.

Hello Rich,
You know, to me, you seem bigger than life itself. I have so much respect for you as a great teacher and mentor. I have held myself back from replying to any of your emails thinking that I would look stupid to you. On the contrary, I am a very hard working person and possibley smart in my own way.
Due to my difficult situation at home, I have perservered with Internet Marketing for the last 2 years. Not once, with all the difficulties that I have encountered, have I chucked in the towel. I had a pretty hard life and made choice to change my circumstances.
Somehow I discovered that IM was going to give me the freedom I so desparately needed. Being an individual who hated anything technical, only made me become more determined to overcome obstacles. After 2 years I set my own websites and now looking to find customers.
I know first hand that when things become too much for us to handle, we do feel like victims and everyone else will think we’re dumb. But I know now that every time something was too difficult I somehow overcame through sheer willpower to search for answers.
I won’t say that I know it all, but what I do know is that my knowledge of IM has improved. After reading your article about “something being so personal, can also be so general”. I believe that because I know that every hitch that I encountered was made public because everyone saw my little emails for help. I kept writing to different Marketers for help and I always got flooded with emails offering me assistance. This is how I understand your sentence. What was so personal that made me cry was out in public. But It doesn’t hurt me because that pain of frustration broke down barriers that I placed before myself.
Thank you for reading my post.
Jay
