3 REASONS YOU SHOULD START YOUR OWN BUSINESS

I've recruited many people in several business ventures.  I was fortunate to bring some exceptional players on my teams.  On the flip side, I've had some not so motivated individuals who eventually quit the business before they even got started.

It became more of a convincing them to stick with it; rather that developing them to be strong earners in the business.  What I realized was there were warning signs that in my zeal to build a business, I overlooked.  These warning signs were consistent with most of the people I had to consistently motivate to keep them excited about earning lucrative income.   Ironically, there were three main reasons why they joined the  business.  Consequently, the 3 reasons were the same reasons when they chose to quit the business.  
 
The 3 reasons were...

1.   My job keeps me so busy...I'm too exhausted to work a business once I get home.

2.  I really need the money...but I just don't have time to do anything right now.

3.   I need a sure income...building a business is too much hard work.

The fact of the matter is most people who have an entrepreneur mind, see the above "excuses" as  great reasons to start their own business. The truth is, if you are in need of money and the job you are on can't or never will suffice your financial needs...then You Need to Start a Business.   If your job keeps you so busy that you have not time for yourself...You Need to Start a Business.  If you need  sure income and working hard on your job for limited income...You Need to Start a Business.  

If you are going to work hard...why not work hard for yourself?  

Lessons I learned from my recruiting is...

1.  Don't  try to convince anyone of their own potential...they will need to know it for themselves.

2.  If they have excuses not to start a business...it will be the same excuses they use when they want to quit.

3.  Everyone who wants to earn residual income is not an entrepreneur--- stop trying to convince them that they are.  

The fact is that most people become business owners for the same excuses others don't.

1.  They are too busy on their job and need more time to themselves or with their families.

2.  They need more money and will move unnecessary things off their plates to make time to build their business.

3.  They prefer residual income rather than limited income living from paycheck to paycheck.  l

If you want to be successful in anything you have to remove the excuses and make a conscious decision NEVER to entertain them again.

I'm looking for 5 motivated individual who can recognize a great opportunity, remove the excuses and be willing to BUILD  residual income.

Xlerate The Mind

 
It's not until you become Kingdom Minded do you realize all that you've missed out on.  I thought I was Kingdom Minded until one day a light bulb went off in my head and I realized I had been avoiding success, prosperity, health and strong relationships because of my own insecurities.   I wasn't jealous of others who had these things, I just kept saying "all that is not necessary".  For example, I recently visited a beautiful custom made 12,000 sq ft home of  a very good friend of my husband.   While I have a house half that size, I never wanted to visit his house; not because I didn't want to see it; but because I thought I was setting myself up for disappointment.  I thought "Why should I look at something that I will never have".   You see, I do life coaching to  many people on a daily basis.  I encourage them to set their goals to reach their dreams weather it is a business, home, ministry, education etc...I tell them to believe that they have it and don't let anyone deter them from reaching their goals. 

Unfortunately, I found it hard for me to apply these very things I teach to others to myself.   Since Dr. Myles Munroe, a giant in the Kingdom passed away,  I've been so engulfed to listen to his teachings on the Kingdom.  Mind you, while he was alive, though I had nothing but great respect for his work he has done for so many people,  I was not a loyal follower as much as I am now that he has passed away.  "His legacy lives on."   As I began to listen to his teachings, there was something that ignited in me.  This ignition broke the depression, the fear, the fear of rejection, the feelings of inadequacies and insecurities.  I felt so much freedom break forth in me...and my dreams that I have suppressed had come  back alive in me.  My mind has been renewed and my ambitions have been restored.  You see, when I turned 49, I went into a state of depression, because I felt I was running out of time and I would not be able to reach my life goals...so I stopped believing the home my husband's friend had was even reachable. 

Now, my mind has changed towards it...I believe that all things is possible to him that believes.  However, the thoughts that had me in bondage, believing I would never achieve , has shifted to "IF I WANT IT...I CAN HAVE IT".   What I'm saying now is, I don't discredit the idea of having an abundant life, but I've taken control of my thoughts and now I realize I have control of my destiny with the power of God working in my life. Now, I know if I don't get it, it's because I didn't want it not because I didn't believe I could have it. This paradigm shift has done great things for my time management, business ventures, and my belief in the promises that have been made to me.  

My paradigm shift about the Kingdom Of God has taken me to a higher dimension of thinking where truly I believe that what is for me is already there.  Ironically, I was recently shopping in SAMS club, I had very limited money to spend.  However, I was so enraged with excitement about Kingdom living, that I was shopping as if I had millions of dollars in my bank account.   I had to shake myself and realize, "I believe that my abundance is coming; but I must have patience in waiting for the full manifestation.  I realize now that the "battle of the mind" is 99% of the problem.  What you think you eventually will become.  Because if we can have the faith of a mustard seed to believe..".My faith becomes my reality."   Nobody, can stop you when you move in to the Kingdom mindset and believe as an Ambassador of Christ, you have citizenship rights that belong only to those who live in the Kingdom.

My Kingdom minded reality is so contagious that I sometimes forget that not everyone has received the Kingdom and are still living in the bondage of their mind or in a religious mindset (more teaching about this will come). 

Recently God spoke so profoundly to me and stated:

"When you have elevated your mind to another dimension of thinking; you have encountered another level of God's Glory.  This can't be revealed to you unless you've crossed over into the Kingdom.  He went on to explain to me that when you've reached a certain pinnacle of your thinking; You won't have to be concerned with cutting off soul-ties; because they will repel themselves away from you because You've exceeded their mental capacity to handle you".  I believe this was not just spoken to me, but for all those who have been trying to make sense with what is going on in your life. 

Understanding this does not put me in judgment of others inability to "XLerate" their minds, but it helps me to pray for them even the more...because they just don't know what they are missing out on by staying in the past and the bondage of their minds. There is so much righteousness, peace and Joy in the Kingdom. 

So today, I encourage you all the receive the Kingdom of God...repent and change your mind about that which has be shown to you and accept that God sent His Son so that we can have life and that more abundantly.  Abundant life is not just enough to get by, but it is the overflow of having enough to give to others.  I'm looking forward to the abundant life that the Kingdom has promised me.  Are you ready to "XLerate" your mind and receive the Kingdom of God?
