Build Home Business And Fire Your Boss

How long does it take to build your home business? Well, it takes 21 days of consistent action to change a behavior or create a new habit – some say. Often we want something different, but old tapes continue to play in our heads that keep us from reaching our goals and dreams. This can range from trying to drop 10 kg to gaining the courage to start your work at home business. 

The truth is going from an employee to an entrepreneur can be a little scary. However, one of the ways to reduce fear and increase success is to lean on the wisdom and experience of others who have been successful in life. 

Some may be famous, and others not. Nevertheless, the wisdom, if you choose to listen, can help you create a paradigm shift in thinking which the foundation to massive success. I have always loved to listen to the champions that have gone before. 

Here are 21 quotes that I have thought about often and used to inspire me to downsize my boss, and it can do the same for you.

Alan Keightley

Once in a while, it really hits people that they don’t have to experience the world in the way they have been told to.

Were you told to go to school and get a good job? I was. While I know my mother meant well and thought she was preparing me to be able to have access to the pearly gates of success, she could not understand how things would change.

However, I knew that I wanted more? How about you? Remember, you don’t have to settle for 60 hour work weeks, 30-minute commutes, your kids in daycare, or relocating for the promise of career advancement. You don’t have to be part of the grind of the rat race.

Mike Murdock

You will never change your life until you change something you do daily.

Are you afraid to get started? It may seem overwhelming, but if you focus on merely daily actions, the big goals take care of themselves.

Brian Tracy

No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn to start from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively, have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.

Get help right out the gate. Find a mentor, coach, mastermind, or become a part of a community that will help to support you in your success. You want to become a life long learner. Attend seminars and boot camps in your specialized area knowledge. When you learn from successful people, and you model their activities, you will get their results.   

Michael J. Gelb

By stretching yourself beyond your perceived level of confidence, you accelerate your development of competence.

The only way to gain confidence in a particular area is to take action. It is in the work you will start to have small victories which will increase your level of success.

Les Brown

If you don’t program yourself, life will program you!

Don’t let other people decide for your life. If you have no plan on you will create wealth during your working years your employer will. Have no retirement plan? You don’t want the government to be your strategy. Remember, it’s your life, and it’s now or never. 

Denis Waitley

There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist or take responsibility for changing them.

No matter what your current conditions are, you have the opportunity to change them. However, this only can happen if you take total responsibility for the direction of your life. Don’t focus on problems or why you think something can’t happen. Start to ask powerful questions. The answers will start to appear.

Dr. Wayne Dyer

Everything you need you already have. You are complete right now; you are a whole, total person, not an apprentice person on the way to someplace else. Your completeness must be understood by you and experienced in your thoughts as your reality.

Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frighten us. Who are we NOT to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn’t serve the world. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It’s not just in some of us; it’s in us all.

When I first heard this quote, it brought tears to my eyes. What talent or gift do you have that you are allowing fear to rob you from achieving? Doing what you were called to do is more significant than you. You are unique, and sharing your gift with someone could make a difference in their life. Are you playing it too small? Are you staying in a job that doesn’t stretch you? What can you do to make a difference?

Disney’s Pocahontas

You’ll see things, “you never knew you never knew.”

The journey and pursuit of freedom allow you to see the world in a different way than others. As you grow, you will naturally see opportunities that others can not see. Jason Oman, author of Conversation with Millionaires, calls it “Money Goggles.” Even if you were in a pitch-black room, you would have an infrared vision in the area of creating opportunities to make money.     

Peter Marshall

A different world cannot be built by indifferent people.

You can’t have what you want in life by being indifferent. Successful people are passionate and sometimes radical in pursuit of their dreams. Don’t allow yourself to be in environments that discourage you.

Lee Iacocca

What is it that you like doing? If you don’t like it, get out of it, because you’ll be lousy at it. You don’t have to stay with a job for the rest of your life, because if you don’t like it, you’ll never be successful in it.

Why would you ever spend most of your waking hours doing something that you don’t like? The key to success is finding something you love to and set the standard for excellence.

Jim Rohn

Only making consistent investments in our self-education and knowledge banks pays significant dividends throughout our lives.

The self-education I have pursued after college has been my most significant return on investment. There is something to be said when you develop skills that you know will support you in any economy. Specialized knowledge applied with massive all-out results will yield hefty financial and emotional rewards. 

Donald Trump

Finding your purpose may be a lifelong pursuit, or you may have discovered it when you were five years old. There’s no absolute timeline for anyone. That’s a good reason never to give up, to keep on discovering things every day.

If you have not discovered your life’s purpose, don’t be hard on yourself. Start to ask yourself questions and enter into a discovery process. Allow yourself to dream without concerns about how you will get it done. Every time you think you have found the answer did a little deeper with more questions. Rarely are your real goals, purpose, and desires on the surface of your soul. Often they have been put away for safekeeping to protect yourself from disappointment. Keep discovering new things until your purpose is crystal clear.

Oprah Winfrey

What material success does is provide you with the ability to concentrate on other things that matter. And that is being able to make a difference, not only in your own life but in other people’s lives.

When you get the money out of the way, your world expands even greater. Oprah exemplifies this principle. She now looks for ways to help others in everything she does. Whether it is giving more support to your family or contributing to a worthy cause, having freedom as a work from home entrepreneur will allow you to make your mark in the world. 

Booker T. Washington

The world cares very little about what a man or woman knows; it is what the man or woman is able to do.

So what can you create and add value to the world? I love this quote because it demonstrates very clearly that what matters are results at the end of the day. Don’t get caught up in theories. Make sure you are continually taking action that moves you towards a specific goal.

John F. Kennedy

There are risks and costs to action. But they are far less than the long-range risks of comfortable inaction.

Are you so afraid to fail that you just can’t get out of the box? Don’t be. Many people have “failed” their way to million-dollar empires. It is better to do something and be wrong than to do nothing at all. When you choose to do nothing, someone else usually makes a decision that impacts you, and you end up doing something you don’t want to do.

George Bernard Shaw

I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for things they want.

There is no such thing as luck. You create success by working and preparing for the opportunity. When you start to put yourself out there, the universe gives back. Make sure you are clear of your intentions and then go and make it happen.

Sam Ewing

It’s not the hours you put in your work that counts, it’s the work you put in your hours.

You have the same 24 hours in the day as Bills Gate and Oprah. Don’t sabotage yourself by saying, “Well, they can do it because they’re rich.” Unless you inherit wealth there is a price that everyone has to pay. You don’t have to work all day at work from the empire. However, you must consistently put the time in if you want success.

Eleanor  Roosevelt

You must do the thing you think you cannot do.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is to do something you think you can not do. It doesn’t have to be something huge. A simple act of courage goes a long in adding to your confidence in every area of your life.

Dexter Yager

You will never leave where you are until you decide where you’d rather be.

Until you know your purpose, you will be at risk of staying in a job that slowly eats away at you. Why? You simply don’t have a healthy, enough goal to leave your current situation. When the goal is strong enough, you will search to find the answers.
