Many times our biggest problem with getting ahead in life is our buts. “I would start a business, but… ” ” I would love to have a happy home life, but…” ” I would like to lose this extra weight and be healthy, but … ” “I would love to tithe more to my church and help my charities more, but… ” ” I want my kids to go to the best schools, but…”
Our buts are nothing more than excuses for our laziness. And sometimes our laziness is nothing but a cover for our fears. Buts are what keep us from doing what we know we should. So the next time you hear yourself say”But” stop and figure out what you really mean by that little word. If you say,”I would really like to start a business, but I don’t know where to begin.” Do you trully not know how to start developing a business idea? Or do you really mean, “Starting a business is risky, and a lot of hard work, and I could loose my shirt, and my wife might get mad at me and leave me, and then I’d have to go crawling back to my old boss and tell him I was only joking when I told him to kiss my a** and that I’d really like my job back, please, but if he didn’t give it to me I’d be on the street and living in a card board box and begging for money outside the MCDonald’s, la, la, la, la, la!”
If you really mean, “I don’t know where to begin.” Search online, “How to start a business.”, or go to your local chamber of commerce. find a S.C.O.R.E. office in your area. (Service Core Of Retired Executives.) Find your local SBA office. (Small Business Administration.) Go to the library or book store and get Starting a Business For Dummies. Just don’t let your but stop you any more if you really truly want something.
