LIVE WITHOUT LIMITS

Some people just seem born to succeed. Some live charmed lives without much in the way of serious challenges or setbacks. They enjoy long vacations in sun-soaked exotic locations. They seem to have perfect spouses, perfect children, and live in perfect houses.

Life can be tough and chaotic. And if you're like most people, you put a lot of effort into reducing the chaos and finding happiness wherever you can.

That's right: Chaos is key.

But isn't chaos bad? Doesn't it equate to stress? Well, yes. But perhaps not the kind of stress you're thinking of. Psychologists explain that there are really two types of stress.

Closed and Open Systems

If you are like me, you would have attended many conferences in the past; and realize that as much as they are important for your business, they are also a big drain on your valuable time, energy, and resources.

There are costs such as:
Travel timeFood, transport, and accommodationThe opportunity cost of time spent away from the businessA big fat conference price tag
For a business, this cost can quickly swell-up and for each resource that’s going to travel with you to the conference it’s going to set you back:
5 days of salary5 days of travel, food, and accommodationThe cost of printing additional marketing material for distributing during the conference
For the average mid-level employee that’s a cost to a company of over $5,000 per conference per attendee.

If this year has taught us anything, it’s how quickly things can change. As much as we’ve seen the way we live and work upended over the last six months, we’ve also seen new opportunities emerge, especially in the realm of entrepreneurship.



In early 2019, the online course market was forecast to be worth $300 Billion by 2025, and the coronavirus has only accelerated that timeline. Layoffs, furloughs and changes in work structure have prompted more people than ever to take their careers into their own hands.



In a knowledge economy, it is most important that creative people with ideas, information skills, experience, and knowledge become engaged in entrepreneurial activity involving the creation and use of new knowledge for community, organizational, and personal development, in addition to developing new products and services.


The Knowledge Entrepreneur introduces the principles, skills, and knowledge required to be a knowledge entrepreneur or "intrapreneur." It outlines the process for developing and implementing business plans and proposals for knowledge-based initiatives. It also offers insight into the nature of knowledge, innovation, and entrepreneurship

There are 5 steps that can help people navigate entrepreneurship in a post-Covid era:

1. Find new market opportunities

It is essential to keep moving forward with the changing trends of the business world and keeping pace with the same. Looking at the growing trend of turning everything digital, (Henok) Henny Yeshanew, CEO of Lion Marketing Agency, Canada, as a marketing entrepreneur through his firm, helped small businesses turn into digital businesses.

2. Network online using LinkedIn or Lunch Club

When entrepreneurs have realized what a pandemic can do to their businesses, Henok believes it is important for them to also recognize the significance of networking in their respective industries. It is essential to stay connected with people and other industry colleagues through mediums like LinkedIn and Lunch Club.

3. Create a personal brand that sells your skills, not appearance

It is vital to understand that entrepreneurs must look towards creating a personal brand that would give out a more true and clear picture of who they are or what their company is all about.

4. Utilize social media platforms initiatives and grants

Since the world is aware of how digitalization is the only best option right now for most businesses, it is essential for them to know and utilize social media platforms for marketing and advertising as well.

5. Produce Content on your passion or hobbies instead of consuming it

 

 

. They create and stick to budgets.

Just the word budget can make someone uncomfortable. But financially successful people don’t shy away from setting realistic budgets for themselves.

 

2. They aren’t impulsive buyers.

We all know that feeling of buying something on a whim – it’s exhilarating and leaves us wanting more. Our culture of mass consumption has left many of us falling victim to temptation by impulsively making unplanned purchases.

 

3. They set realistic goals.

To be financially successful, you have to know where you’re going and how you will get there.

 

4. They make saving a priority.

Even putting away the smallest amount of money each month into your savings account can do wonders for your financially secure future.

 

5. They don’t compare themselves to others.

One flaw of financially unsuccessful people is that they are constantly comparing themselves to others.

1. Rich people play the money game to win. Poor people play the money game to not lose.

The goal of truly rich people is to have massive wealth and for many of them, it’s to help a lot of people.

13. Rich people are willing to act in spite of fear. Poor people let fear stop them.

It’s imperative to realize that it is not necessary to try to get rid of fear in order to succeed. Rich and successful people have fear, rich and successful people have doubts, rich and successful people have worries. They just don’t let these feelings stop them. Unsuccessful people have fears, doubts, and worries, then let those feelings stop them.

7. Rich and successful people are solution-oriented.

Rich people spend their time and energy strategizing and planning the answers to challenges that come up and creating systems to make certain that problem doesn’t occur again.

4. Rich people focus on what they want, while poor people focus on what they don’t want.

Did you know that there are no straight lines in the universe? Life doesn’t travel in perfectly straight lines. It moves more like a winding river. More often than not, you can only see to the next bend, and only when you reach that next turn can you see more.

 I can run my business the way I want. That means:
No office. If I want to work from my NYC apartment today, cool. Next week, might be my place in SF. Or maybe a coffee shop. I love the flexibilityI can choose to “work hard / play hard” since I have the systems that let me grow even while I’m traveling, like when I took a 3-week vacation to AsiaI can choose exactly who I want to serve. I don’t tolerate whiners, so I kick their asses out. I offer 98% of my material free, so I don’t allow people with CC debt to join my highest-end courses — a strategic decision that’s cost me millions of dollars. For me, it’s the right thing to do (since they should prioritize their debt #1), and since it’s my business, I get to decide what I allow/don’t allow
TRUTH: If passion was enough, there wouldn’t be any starving artists.

TRUTH2: If passion was all you need, then the vast majority of online businesses wouldn’t fail.

The truth is that many unscrupulous marketers sell you on passion because it’s a push-button “burning pain” — see, most people believe they truly have something inside of them that they need to get out (if only somebody would listen). Waa waa etc.

Here’s the brutal truth.
