Secret of Happiness in
Life and Business
By Terry Dean
Let me begin by telling you a story... In Indiana, there lives a woman who
works 8 hour days 6 days a week at a local computer company. We will call
her "Barbara" for the sake of this article.
Barbara dreads getting up in the
morning. She dreads getting ready for work. She dreads driving to work.
She dreads clocking in. She absolutely hates her job.
She has a degree in computer science,
but she can barely stand the sight of a computer anymore. Everything in
her miserable life has become a drudgery to her. She can barely stand
herself. The most important thing to her is that wonderful clock that
chimes 5 p.m. when it is time for her to go home.
She rushes to her car...Drives as fast
as the law allows home...and then immediately rushes into her house as
fast as she can to the noise of overexcited door greeters. Both them and
her have waited all day for this moment. Now, she can relax. She sits down on the couch...collects
up her pets (2 dogs and a cat) and gives each of them the attention she
knows that they crave. She turns on "Animal Planet" on the television set
and sits back breathing a sigh of relief that she lived through another
day.
Every day this same process occurs.
Sometimes she makes a stop by the library and gets a collection of books
on "Dog Care" and on "Dog Training." On her day off (that wonderful day),
her and her dogs go and spend the entire day at the local park. All of
them wait all week for that wonderful event. Because of the drudgery of her job and
the desire she has to be constantly free from it, she decided to check
into starting her own home business. Her friends sell Avon. As a matter of
fact, one of them even makes enough money to do it full-time. Barbara envies this woman...She gets
up and works when she wants at her own business which she loves. She
always seems to have a spring in her step and a smile on her face.
Then, one day her friend invites
Barbara to join her. Excitement overflows inside of Barbara...She will be
able to be in control of her own destiny. She can be in business for
herself. Barbara jumps at the chance...besides
it is only $25 she says to herself..."What do I have to lose?" She is
absolutely on fire with this new possibility...She can work for herself
and make her own life. She quickly begins to do everything
her sponsor told her to do...She makes up lists of contacts. She begins
contacting them all one by one. She does everything necessary to get
started as fast as possible. Barbara begins making a little
money...(It always starts out small in your own home business), but
something is missing. She stills has her job...She has her new home
business and is beginning to make a little income doing it...BUT she has
even less time than before to do the things she loves. Her day off came and went...She had
meetings to attend in her new business. Her dogs stayed home staring
longingly at their leashes wondering what was wrong. Barbara is making
more money now, but is no more free time than ever before. Now, after the excitement of her new
business has worn off, that telephone is getting pretty heavy to use. It
is getting pretty tiring to come home from work every day and have to work
this second job...even though it is hers. One day, her sponsor quits and she has
no one to help her stay motivated anymore. That was the final straw. She
can't do it any more. She goes back to the old routine feeling guilty that
she "failed" in her home business venture. Later on down the road, this same
process occurs. She joins another home business "opportunity" only to
later give up and quit because she just can't take it anymore. Dozens of
times this happens. Every time she feels more guilty that she just doesn't
have what it takes to make it in her own home business. Every time this occurs she ends up
exhausted on her couch. The funny thing is that the answer to her problem
has been right under her nose all of the time. It happens to be staring up
at her lovingly right this moment holding it's leash. Her problem has been that she works a
job she hates. She wants a way out and others are promising her a solution
that just isn't suited to her. They make money doing it because they love
it. She makes a little at it and quits because she can't stand that JOB
either.
For them, it is a way of life and a
passion. For her, it is just another JOB, yet with less starting salary.
Her passion is for her pets, but she spends time trying to work up passion
for other people's desires. I will let you off the hook and tell
you...Barbara's problem is that she is trying the WRONG home business for
her. She should be starting a business where her passion is at. Instead,
she just tries to imitate others who have completely different desires. I wonder if that is your problem? If
you can't wait to get off your job and get out to the golf course, but you
are trying to sell health products, it won't work. If you only want to
garden all of the time, but sell make-up, you are dead in the water before
you ever start. The Best Way to Produce A Lifestyle
You Enjoy is By Doing What You Love! Take off the blinders...Take off the
limitations. What do you love doing? What are your hobbies? What is it
that you think about every time you get a spare moment? That is the BUSINESS for you to be
in...Don't tell me it can't be done. I will just tell you to figure out
how to do it. Let's go back to Barbara...What should
she be doing? How about being a pet sitter, dog walker, pet day care, pet
groomer, or dog trainer? She could write books on pet training, animal
grooming, etc. That could be an information business. It could be a
service business. Don't put limitations on yourself or others. Don't tell me it can't be done! On TV,
I just heard about a DOG BAKERY which only sells gourmet dog treats. They
have over a million in sales and 20,000 mail order clients besides what
they have in their little shop. If you love it, you will find a way once
you make up your mind! For many of you reading this, you may
be in the wrong business. You are making money (Or you aren't making money
it doesn't matter), but you just aren't happy. Well, now you have it.
Somebody was finally willing to tell you the truth of the matter. Find your LOVE and you will find
success. Yes, it will be hard starting out. It is in any business you get
started in. If your business is also your passion and your hobby though,
YOU WILL make it through and won't quit when it gets hard, because you
LOVE it. Take my quick test below and let me
know how it turns out for you...(Email me at
webmaster@bizpromo.com and let
me know if you passed or failed)
If you answered "YES" to any of those
questions, you have some thinking ahead of you. If you answered "YES" to
all of them, you better do something in a hurry! The Best Way to Produce A Lifestyle
