Seven5 Seven3 Ques: What obstacles have you faced in your business, how did you surmount them?
Answer: As an entrepreneur you will encounter obstacles. The biggest obstacles for business owners are fear of failure, fear of making mistakes, fear of too much success. There will be challenges, obstacles along the way, however its learning how to approach them head on and deal with it.
1. Obstacles for me I call “Hiccups”, turning what most may think is a negative word to a word that is more attainable to deal with. “Hiccup” When I started I quickly learned not to take what people said at face value. Promises, Commitments, etc. Documenting detailed contracts became very important for me. Especially in my business. I’m working on behalf of my client and our core job is to make sure they receive everything they were promise.
2. Having a good support team: This means Friends, Family, Associates and Staff. You need positive reinforcement & support to succeed. If the closest people in your circle aren’t supportive or positive that can put a damper on your vision for success. Press the unread button quickly. This means you deal with at a distance. There’s nothing more frustrating then working with someone who doesn’t have the passion you do. If you don’t have passion for your business you have failed and it’s time to get out.
All in All life isn't perfect you will encounter many obstacles along the way. Its part of your growth process for a better you. I have a strong faith in God and when things don't go just right, I laugh & say to myself; just a minor hiccup. Do what I need to do to make things smooth and move on. Don't dwell on it and as much as I love parties I don't throw myself a "Pity Party".
Our motto in life is Live everyday like it's a FABULOUS Party. Stay positive, following your dreams and anything is possible. You create the destiny you desire.
