Don't Quit

I found out very early in my life that I had a problem with authority, and 20 years ago when I started a building maintenance franchise I had no idea what the future might hold and the trails and tribulations that I was in for.All I knew was that I didn't want to work for someone else the rest of my life.My family and friends thought I was crazy,so I was basically on my own.

It was tough in the beginning, here I was a 25 year old young man just finishing my 3 years in the United States Army,thrust into a world I knew nothing about.There were no guides,consultants, or anybody I could turn to for help.My fathers brother was the only entrepreneur in the family that I knew of.He owned a dump truck company he started back in 1953, which he still runs today.

So I got bits and pieces of advice when I could from him when ever he wasn't working, and he worked all the time.Everything else was pretty much left up to me.I had a hard time way back when, and had to learn by trail and error,I made many mistakes and sacrifices because I knew this was want I wanted, and quiting wasn't an option.I can remember budgeting my money to buy the cheapest food products I could find,beans and sardines was one of my favorite meals.

Never had much time for entertainment maybe a movie here and there, I was totally focused on my dream of having my own business and being free.In my spare time when I had some spare time, I would keep myself pumped up with inspirational books and cassette tape recordings,no DVD's back then.I also found it very helpful to read biographies of business success stories, one of favorites being Colonel Sanders of Kentucky fried chicken, he filed for bankruptcy eight times, and the rest is history.

I soon came to realize that all successful  business people have certain things in common from Andrew Carnegie to Bill Gates no matter how hard it was in the beginning they never ever thought about quiting,very important Around the time of 1986, maybe 87 that I came across a wonderful poem, that changed my life forever.The title of this poem was simply "Don't Quit" author unknown after reading this poem for the first time I knew at that very moment, that my way of thinking would be changed forever.

I lived and breathed this poem,I even taped it to the back of my front door, so every time I walked out of my house I couldn't help but read it every single day.This poem became my personal National Anthem.And even though things have changed quite a bit in my life there it is on the back of my front door, but now I don't have to read it anymore, because I know it by heart.

I truly believe that there are certain things in our life's that come to us for a reason, but you have to open and receptive when the universe throws them your way.Some people get this, but most people don't.I check this blog at least once a day because I'm constantly posting articles for my new business venture Network Marketing, and I don't leave until I do my daily inspirations,this is very important for my mental well being, it keeps me pumped up, with all the distractions running a business brings you've got to have the right mind set.

 

Your mind is the most important asset you have, its the only thing you have that no one can take from you, use it and train correctly and their will be nothing that can't be archived.Being an entrepreneur is going against the grain,its making your own way and not being a follower, its being a leader.Don't quit,and don't ever give up,and your dreams and aspirations will become a reality

 

 

Don't Quit, boy how things have changed there's now a video.

Lead Out Loud.

Famous Failures.
