Make Money, Not Excuses

October 24, 2008 · Filed Under Business and Marketing Tips, Mission, Mindset and Leadership 

“You can make money or you can make excuses, but you can’t make both.”

These words were written recently in a blog by Karl Bessey, co-founder of a Texas-based finanical education and wealth creation company called Wealth Masters International.

I have been in this industry for more than a couple of years now, and I couldn’t agree with this more.

As I have said on this blog before, 97% of all home-based business owners fail.  I take this to mean that 97% of all people who start a home-based business do not make enough money, and most probably spend more money than they make.

What that also tells me is that 97% of these people MAKE EXCUSES.

I have heard a lot of excuses in this business, some rather unique.  But most center on the theme of NO MONEY, NO TIME, NO SUPPORT.  OK, OK, and OK.

So what?  You want to know how many of the 3% of people who make money in this industry had NO MONEY when they first started?  Probably 95% of them.

You want to know how many of these people had time issues?  Most of them.

You want to know how many had little to no support, and had to find their own way?  Probably ALL of them.

That’s right, guys.  It’s time to lay down the excuses and start making money.

Don’t let ANYTHING get in your way.

I am changing my mindset on this issue of EXCUSES.

Here are my new edicts:

  • You have money problems?  So does everybody.  You will find the money if you really want it.
  • You have time issues?  Too bad.  Stay up later or get up earlier.
  • Your sponsor leave the company?  So what, it happens all the time.  Find the support you need elsewhere.
  • Your spouse giving you crap about spending money?  Work it out.  Make money.
  • You have too many expenses?  Life getting in the way?  That’s life — work it out (Rosemary and I have 2 kids in college, 1 going next year, and 1 more the year after… make it work anyway you can).

I know this may sound hard ass to many, but I’ve found in building my business with Carbon Copy PRO and WMI that it’s the only way you’ll make money.

No Excuses, Make Money. $$$

Great advice from someone who has “made it” in the Direct Sales industry.  Karl Bessey is someone I really have come to respect.  His story is compelling…. coal miner turned entrepreneur.  So when he speaks, I listen.
And on this one, he is right on the money!
To your prosperity,

Bob
