Getting Started in Your Home Business
By Richard Driver
When it comes to starting a home business, some people always seem to
know exactly what type of business they want to start, however, they just
cannot bring themselves to take action and get started. They use excuses
to justify their procrastination�
Then in sheer contrast, there are those who take action and get started.
Consider Henry Ford for example, he knew exactly what type of business
he wanted to start, and he took action and started it. He did not allow
excuses to get in his way, and procrastination, it was not even in his
vocabulary. You see, Mr. Ford had learned to recognize the fundamental
principle that with persistent will come success, and that excuses always
recede in its presence.
The lesson was taught to Mr. Ford while still a young boy. He was presented
the story of how nature applies sustained pressure (persistence) to form
or produce a diamond from coal. From that lesson, Mr. Ford deduced that
he too, by applying the same principle of persistence, could form or produce
his own diamond in his chosen occupation. Can you imagine where the automobile
industry might be today were it not for Henry Ford and other like-minded
individuals who followed his pattern.
Many of us could take a lesson from Mr. Ford about the value and need
of implementing persistence in our own chosen occupation. Perhaps, we too
can use persistence as effectively as Mr. Ford did to produce a diamond
in our own present and future situations. There certainly is ample evidence
in the lives of great men like Mr. Ford, and others, that strongly suggest
that excuses, both real and imagined, do in fact fade into nothingness
in the presence of persistence.
Mr. Ford used persistence as the means to focus and fine-tune his determination
to take action and get started and to succeed despite the very excuses
that may be holding some of us back. Perhaps, if we ignore the excuses
and take action and get started that we too, like Mr. Ford, will learn
the lesson that in the presence of persistence, excuses fade into nothingness.
Good luck in your decisions� take action, get started!
