Just like everything else in life you need to evaluate what
is real and what is not so real.
We start learning this from childhood where we very quickly
are taught that what Mom and Dad say is usually something
you can count on but what you’re told by friends, is not
always something you can take to the bank.
The same goes for cliches. Everyday we face tons of cliches
covering a wide range of topics. Cliches by their very
nature usually have some degree of truth contained within
their day to day usage. However, cliches can kill you when
you are starting a new business or trying to take your
existing business to the next level. Let me explain:
Cliche #1: Success Is Just Around the Corner - Now on face
value that is most likely true. The problem when starting a
new business is that most people just never turn the
corner. They stop just short and never see the value on the
other side. This is typically due to the fact that the
cliche doesn’t really tell you how many corners you need to
turn before you find the all evasive “success”. I can tell
you from experience that it is rarely just one corner…if
that was true everyone would be a millionaire or better.
The old story about Edison tried thousands of times before
he finally got the light bulb correct. If he stopped short
on the 999th corner, well we would all be in the dark.
Cliche #2: Overnight Success - We all know someone who was
an ‘overnight success’. All of a sudden they’re flowing in
dough. Well, there is no such thing as an overnight success
unless maybe you just won the lottery and even there,
typically it’s never on the first ticket. If you relax and
just ponder what is going on, wondering how others became
overnight successes, it is certain you will never have the
opportunity to be one. The only answer to overnight success
is hard work and long ‘overnights’.
Cliche #3: Once in a Lifetime Opportunity - For each of us,
there can be several ‘once in a lifetime opportunities’.
The only problem is that we never see them. We’re so busy
with day to day activity that we let these opportunities
pass by constantly. How often have you said to yourself,
“If I’d only done…..”. Well, now is the time to do it!
Cliche #4: Look Before You Leap - Now this is a real
killer. One of the differences between the successful
entrepreneur and the not so successful one is the
successful entrepreneurs ability to look a lot less often
and for a lot less time. They review quickly, make
decisions and take action. Failure is taken as only a form
of education and not personally. If they do not succeed,
they lift themselves up and move to the next level.
Cliche #5: Time Waits for No Man - Well, this is really
true but, unfortunately, all too often is overlooked. We
tend not to realize that time is finite. There is just so
much of it. Sitting back and waiting for success to come to
you is as foolish as spending a week in Vegas counting on
going home with more in your pocket than you came with.
Cliche #6 - Success is a Journey and not a Destination -
Well, this can truly be a killer. One of the most important
things any new business owner can do is set goals. Now,each
time you reach your goal, you have been successful. Not
admitting that and giving yourself a ‘high five’ can be a
real downer. You need to celebrate success at every level.
Kids do it in school, we do it as parents but we don’t
allow ourselves to do that as business men and women. Now,
once that goal is achieved, set a new one!
Cliche #7: Money Can’t Buy You Happiness - But it sure can
make the sadness a lot more tolerable! Of course, money is
not everything but one of our goals as business people is
to cash in. One of the parameters we go by is financial. To
misunderstand that is not appropriate. When evaluating a
new business, we need to be sure that there is a strong
possibility of success.
Cliche #8: Opportunity is Knocking - Well, this one is
great if you’re listening but how often do we turn a ‘deaf
ear’ to opportunity. We use just about every excuse
possible to avoid a challenge, to stop taking action for
fear of failure etc. Opportunity knocks, but unfortunately
for some, not loudly enough.
Now I could go on and list several others but the truth of
the matter is you’ve got to ‘take the bull by the horns’,
‘grab the golden ring’ and most, importantly, in doing so
take action. Nothing can possibly happen without action. If
you’re sitting on the fence waiting for success to come to
you, you’ll get nothing but splinters!
