The Entrepreneur's Stimulus Package: Strengthen Your Strongest Muscle

These days, all the talk is stimulus packages and bailouts and injections of funds to get the economy back on track. The sad truth is that most people have buried themselves so far in debt, a stimulus check will be used to relinquish the stranglehold that debt has created, even if it's just a tiny fraction of the total amount.

But let's put that on the backburner for a moment. Say you're a business owner. Or, say you've got some entrepreneurial tendencies and you're looking for a home-based business opportunity to sink your teeth into. There's no question that the network marketing industry is lucrative and can give you a clear-cut path to your goals. Or, it can chew you up and spit you out. It's all a matter of how you attack it.

What will stimulate you to succeed with your business? What will be the key motivator that makes you pour effort into building your business?

The most common, and WRONG answer is money. Sure, we all want money and, yes please, keep it coming. But money should never be your #1 reason for starting and building a business. Yes, money is great, but it's nothing more than ink on paper.

To truly figure out what will stimulate and motivate you, you have to dig deep, deep into your mind, and determine what that money will be used for. What sort of goals are you looking to accomplish? Pay off debt? Buy a house? Buy a car? Give back to your community? Ensure your children are able to go to college?

Whatever it is, it's never about money. It's about what the money can do for you. This is your Reason Why. And without a reason why, you're doomed from the start.

Now that we've cleared that up, it's time to uncover the ultimate stimulus package for your business ventures. If you're seeking a network marketing opportunity, or you're involved with a company and you're not getting the results you want, I'm here to tell you this: your success has nothing to do with your company, your product, your compensation plan, or any of the other fancy, flashy taglines that are designed to get you to sign the dotted line.

As an entrepreneur, the ultimate stimulus package lays in your mind and what you do to become a successful business owner. Will you develop the mindset that allows you to stop thinking like an 'employee,' where you work long, ridiculous hours to make someone else wealthy, and start thinking like an 'entrepreneur,' where you focus your skill sets towards building your own fortune and writing your own success story?

No product, no company, and no compensation plan will help you reach that goal if your mindset does not go through this shift. You can try...but expect the same result you get while driving a rear-wheel drive car across a sheet of ice: Spinning wheels.

If you want to give yourself the ultimate stimulus package and start running a successful network marketing business, start expanding your education. Start taking action and applying the lessons you learn. Don't allow yourself to fall into a trap where you're waiting for the answer to find you. Get out there, obtain the knowledge, and find the answer for yourself!
