CHEAP FLIGHTS TO BUSINESS SUCCESS – PART 3

-
This is going to be a 2-part session, where we will discuss the next 2 reasons why you may not want to go into or grow a business; the lack of love or zeal for the chosen business direction, and the disbelief in your own ability to succeed.
Lack of Love or Zeal for the Chosen Business Direction
Hmmm... Well... This was my experience (which answers the question of why I stopped the bag business).
When I was still on with the bag business, I noticed something about me which I couldn’t quite explain then. Any time I got custom orders, or a chance to rise unto the next level, I got sluggish, and somewhere deep within me, I didn’t welcome it wholeheartedly. I wanted it though, but I just didn’t feel like I was ready for it... or like I could handle it... or like I really wanted to do it. Then.., I decided to take an honest look at myself and why this was happening.
The answer..? I had such little zeal to grow or perform when it was demanded of me because my love for the business rested firmly on my love for arts and crafts and designing, and I loved arts and crafts as a hobby. So bringing in the complexities of business (orders... money... customer complaints and preferences... drudgery...) just made the whole thing just not worth it for me. And that’s why I was secretly sabotaging myself.
Another thing I had to come to terms with... I’m not a ‘fashionista’! I’m a bit of a ‘utility chic’. What I mean by ‘utility chic’ is that I don’t care so much about my looks (as much as the next chic anyway), so venturing into the fashion world... It just wasn’t my life. I knew a lot about me would have to change so fast and I may not be able to recognize myself anymore; plus, the low zeal won’t take me so far since I needed that (zeal) to compete in the industry and sustain the business (besides, I detest stagnancy, so I really wanted to grow in something, but it just wasn’t the bag business).
The lesson...? Be true to yourself in all your choices, even in your business choices.
You cannot force an idea, even on yourself. You are just as stubborn as the next person (lol).
Next lesson...? Do something you can afford to sustain (emotionally, mentally, physically, psychologically, financially... everything-ally).
This is because, if you don’t, you won’t know when you will begin to sabotage your own efforts to succeed. I could prove this to myself with my current agro-processing business. I feel more zeal to continue and grow in this business than in the bag business.

 And now, for the next reason...
Disbelief in Your Own Ability to Succeed


Well... in my opinion, and from my experience, I’d say this reason to shy away from business stems from poor zeal (or lack of love). Think about it, my dear. If you truly love what you do, would you have that zeal to keep at it or grow in it (or remain there... don’t know... if you like it just the way it is)? That zeal can push you forward even when your mind tries to tell you (or when people try to tell you) you will fail, or not to achieve your dream. Am I wrong?
What you can do...? Like I said before, choose your line of business wisely, critically, and honestly. In short, do a soul search.
                          

So, that’s my take from my experiences on those issues, folks. To get some insight into how to handle the next possible reason that you might have not to venture into business (Not even knowing the area of business to venture into), please, move unto Part 4 of Cheap Flights to Business Success. Thank you.

A Truth About Life: Life Has No Destinations. It Is An Eternal Journey.

Hello again and welcome to Uvelopin (which is you developing). Today's agenda is to share another truth about life which I have found to be definite, and it is that life has no destinations, because it is an internal journey. I found this to be true through my personal experiences, that of others, and good old logic! By logic, I am referring to the law of diminishing returns and the nature of all growth curves. It's simple! Simply put the law of diminishing returns says that, on a fixed factor (a non-flexible factor, such as land), you can only increase a variable factor (a flexible factor, example labour) in order to achieve increasing productivity so much so that, you'll eventually get a peak of productivity, after which total productivity begins to decline, and marginal productivity (the extra productivity you achieved with each addition of the variable factor on the fixed factor) decreases so much so that it becomes negative. I could give a better explanation and dr...

We’ll start with how one can identify a less-developed country. Here are some of the characteristics of a less-developed country: A country without a lot of industrial activity (low industrial performance) High poverty rates High rate of population increase (population explosion) Low per capita income Low gross national product Shortage of capital (public and private) Low infrastructural development High dependency of the populace on the government, as well as high dependence of the government on foreign aid High unemployment rates Almost (or complete) total reliance on primary goods exports (e.g. agricultural, mined, or other ‘extracted’ products) Predominance of agriculture Overall low level of productivity and investment (both foreign and domestic) Predominance of social and political instability and insecurity Low relative development index Now we have gotten that down, let’s look into auto-centric development. The word “Auto-centric” ...

A Truth About Life: Everything is an Illusion.

Hello again, and welcome to Uvelopin. The topic today is Everything is an Illusion. I'm going to go straight in by saying forget beliefs, religion, forget gender, forget race, forget tribes, forget materialism and physical wealth. It's all an illusion. Let's be brief, what matters is Soulism! WTF is Soulism, right?! It is a concept coined out of the word "Soul", Which is who and what you are. Who and what you really are. When you get the concept of Soulism, you are on your way to the next important thing, the next "real" thing, and that is Spiritual Freedom. We live under the impression that we are human beings who own a soul (and some believe you can actually sell it! LMAO! NOT POSSIBLE!). So you see, Soul is me, Soul is you, Soul is your mum, your dad, your neighbours, every person, animal and plant. Soul knows no boundaries, knows no fears, knows no owner, and retains no ownership but It's right to freedom, love, happiness, and wisdom gained ...
