Life is a lot like a swinging pendulum. On the one side of the
pendulum is happiness, fulfillment, excitement, variety, interest, and
on the other side is the POTENTIAL for failure, risk, disappointment,
criticism.
If the pendulum stands still and doesn't swing then
nothing happens. Sure you don't have failure, you don't have any risk,
you don't have any disappointment and no one says anything bad about
you; however you also miss out on all the excitement of life, the
fulfillment, the variety, the interest and the happiness.
YOU CANNOT SWING A PENDULUM ONE WAY.
Think about this for all aspects of your life. In every relationship
there is a risk that your heart can be broken. When you raise a family
there is the risk that children will make bad choices that cause pain to
themselves and others. However you don't run away from a relationship
or a family because you are scared of the POTENTIAL pain. You are
willing to take a risk because you want the other side of the pendulum.
Now think about your business. On the one side is financial freedom,
excitement, fulfillment, success, but on the other side is the POTENTIAL
for rejection, criticism, failure and disappointment.
Unfortunately we see many people who let the pendulum stand still.
They don't want the failure or the rejection or the disappointment so
they don't take massive action. However, what they fail to recognize is
that by making this choice then they are also missing out on the other
side of the pendulum - financial freedom, fulfillment, excitement,
success.
My advice - swing that sucker high!!!!
The
less you are scared of the "bad side" of the pendulum and are willing to
charge ahead (who cares if you fail anyway, failure is never permanent
unless you accept it as such) then the pendulum will eventually swing to
the good side.
That is the universal law - If you are willing
to push the pendulum to the "bad side" then it will inevitably swing the
other way!
