Home Staging Business Cards
September 4th, 2008
Question: How do I motivate myself to start my own business? I'm in a rut!?
I have the idea and I've printed business cards, I have a domain name and I'm working on a website, and I know what I have to do, but I'm stuck.
I feel nervous to start making phone calls and doing the marketing! I need some advice and motivation.
I'm going to do a Home Staging business (decorating homes to sell faster and for more money - like the TV show "Sell tThis House") - so I have to start calling real estate agents, and putting ads on craig's list.
I think I'm afraid to actually do this. Help?
Answer: Fear of success.
Fear of failure.
Fear of rejection.
Fear of unknown.
F = false
E = evidence
A = appearing
R = real
Motivation is an external force and as such will always need feeding, stimulation and nourishing from the outside. As people, (we like it, acknowledge it or not) we are spiritual beings, anything that comes from our spirit does not and will not need any motivation.
Search in your spirit and honestly answer to yourself only: "Why am I entering this business? What was my inspiration to take the first step? The second step? Business card printing?"
You are making an attempt to abandon your developed employee mentality, you will be able to abandon all your false fears as well.
Look up similar businesses to yours located out of your city or even the state.
Get hold of the owners, create a network exchanging ideas and support for each other.
Surround yourself with like minded individuals.
Keep in touch, I and many others are here to help.
Go and call your very first client, tell them StanTheMan sent you.
Keep me posted.
