this is Bill every morning he wakes up to the sound of a piercing alarm dreading the day ahead at a job heat despises he feels trapped undervalued and like he's not making any progress in life Bill comes to the conclusion that the only way out of the situation is to start a business and become his own boss so he quits his job and goes for it now I'm sure you want this story to have a happy ending however life doesn't really work like that as a multi-millionaire businessman I've seen hundreds of people who quit their
jobs and start their own businesses and only a small percentage of them end up being successful that's because and I'm not going to sugarcoat here most people don't have what it takes to be an entrepreneur before you think I'm trying to crush your dreams I'm not I'm just saying it how it is so before you think about starting any kind of business make sure you take the following Five Steps step one kill your delusion you've been fed the lie that becoming a successful entrepreneurs all about coming up with the perfect idea they want you to
believe that the only thing that stands in your way is that light bulb moment and once you have it everything will go perfectly that's because selling this delusion is highly profitable I mean I'm sure you've seen the headlines like how I built a million dollar business in 30 days or how I fired my boss and started my own business these stories might be true but they're very out of the ordinary and they don't take into account all the previous failures that that person had to go through to get to where they are today media outlets
and social media gurus make things sound easy so they can capitalize off your delusion but guess what you're being polite to in order to become successful in business you need to burst this bubble of Lies otherwise it will be burst for you and trust me this is way more damaging for me this harsh reality check happened very early on I shared my business plans with a friend and he stole all my ideas and set up a business for himself fortunately I didn't have many options like a fancy degree to fall back on so I had
no choice but to adapt and come up with a new strategy I suppose that's the difference between wanting it to work and needing it to when you're left with no other options you're much more likely to come out on top I see way too many people giving up when they hit that first Big Challenge as they can't understand why it's not working out perfectly like they were led to believe but I've got some news for you successful people aren't business Gods who get it right every time most entrepreneurs are winging it they've never got all
of the answers I mean the majority of businesses on Shark Tank and Dragon's Den they fail and they've got billionaires back in them your biggest Heroes have probably faced more struggles than most but that's the reason you're inspired by them after every setback they pulled themselves together and came back bigger and better than before so kill your delusion expect failure and accept that success doesn't come easy step two replace your friends in my early twenties I spent every waking hour building my first business I was so obsessed that I didn't even notice how lonely I
was deep down a recent National survey by Cigna actually showed that almost half of Americans report feeling lonely and I suspect this is much higher for entrepreneurs I worked so hard for so long and when I finally came up for air I realized I'd lost almost all my friends and the friends that I still had could no longer relate to my mindset lifestyle or struggles if you're anything like me then you're bound to experience something similar and the more successful you get the more the disconnect will grow for some time I felt lost and alone
thinking that I was the problem but then it hit me like a ton of bricks outgrown old friends is a painful yet inevitable part of the growth process if your friends aren't prepared to grow with you then you shouldn't be wasting your valuable time with them now it's the time to seek out new people who are willing to level up alongside you that's why it can be a great idea to have a co-founder as they're in the trenches with you and you're able to motivate each other when you're feeling down just be careful when you're
selecting your co-founder because this is the person you're going to be spending a significant amount of time with even more than your family so it's very important that you know how this person reacts through tough times it's also a good idea to join communities full of other entrepreneurs I run one of the biggest free Discord service called strike it big and you're very welcome to join there's about 30 000 entrepreneurs in there discussing all things business and making money I'll leave a link in the description below it's completely free so replace your friends find like-minded
people and never look back step three rethink money my friend Daniel Priestley used to struggle with closing high value deals in his job as a Salesman the truth is he felt uncomfortable asking for large sums of money because he placed too much value on it himself potential customers could sense his awkwardness when discussing money which would often lead to him losing the deal at the final hurdle that's when his mentor had to step in he told him to carry a thousand dollars in cash in his pocket wherever he went at first he thought this was
crazy but he followed the advice and scraped together all of the money he had at the time because he was carrying it around every day it quickly started to feel insignificant and little more than pocket change it completely adjusted his attitude towards money and helped him become a multi-millionaire in his early twenties if you currently work a day job you probably have this issue as well without even knowing it but if you want to be successful in business then you have to believe that there is so much money out there waiting to be grabbed and
most importantly not be afraid to spend it as a business owner I have spent hundreds of thousands of dollars this month alone without hesitation because I know that investing in my business whether in staff stock or technology will have a positive effect in the long term so you need to stop thinking of money as a valuable asset that's hard to get and start viewing it as a tool to build wealth step four maximize efficiency did you know that 72 percent of all small business owners struggle with feeling overwhelmed it's no wonder they feel this way
given the constant pressure to meet daily targets make decisions about the future of the business and generate Revenue all while trying to maintain some kind of social life you just have so many plates to spin as an entrepreneur that's why when someone says to me you're the boss you can take the day off it really pisses me off when you work a normal job you only have to focus on the day ahead after work you can go home and relax however for a business owner is very hard to ever switch off you know that you're
solely responsible for making sure the money keeps flowing that's why I hate it when people put down normal jobs not everyone wants the stress that comes with running a business and that is completely fine however for those of you like me that have a burning desire to do business there is a way to maximize efficiency and keep things running smoothly the biggest thing that's helped me manage my stress levels over the years put it in place great systems and processes this is because from my experience the most stress comes from when your business is reliant
on people it's easy to get caught up in the thrill of starting a new business but have you ever thought about what happens when your business grows and one of your key employees suddenly leaves that's where having systems and processes in place comes in think of it like a big manual to your business that anyone can follow even if they're not familiar with your specific company it's important to start thing thinking about this early on because as your business grows it will become harder and harder to keep track of everything this also has the added
benefit of making the business far more attractive to potential buyers in the future as they know that they have a full guide of how to operate that business and get a return on their investment so think ahead maximize efficiency and get your systems and processes in place before it's too late step five become a wolf if you want to become successful then you need to build some kind of team if you think you can do it all alone then you're sorely mistaken you need a pack now I want you to imagine you have an extremely
successful business but you're running it all by yourself you're making great money but it's coming at the cost of your relationships and experiences so you decide it's time to hire your first employee I know this might seem like a million miles away at the moment but stick with me just imagine all the little tasks you could take off your plate give to someone else to take care of just the thought of that seems pretty exciting but at the same time it comes with a lot of challenges and potential mistakes I remember hiring my first employee
to serve customers in my shop it was such a relief to have someone there to help me if I ask you to describe exactly what kind of employer you would want in the future then you'd probably outline someone that is very similar to yourself but this is the completely wrong way of looking at it the truth is you're never going to find someone exactly like you because if they were then they'd be running a competing business the key is to hire people who are better than you in different areas this way they don't just do
what you would do they actually level up your business by doing it better so pick the members of your wolf pack strategically and share your success with them along the way look starting a business is not for everyone but quitting my job and starting a business was the best thing I ever did so as long as you're confident and you can handle the challenges ahead of you then my advice would be go for it if you want to know what I would do if I started again from scratch then I'm going to leave this video
