Too Afraid to Fail

Tweet

One of the major reasons why people don't go into business is that they are too afraid to fail.

Agree?

Here are the most common justifications that people share about being too afraid to fail in business.

Maybe you'll recognize some of them.

1. I don't have the skills to succeed in business, so I will just fail.

2. I don't have money to start one. And I'm afraid to borrow money. I might end up in debt with no money.

3. If I do have money, it's to risky to invest it. I might just lose it.

4. Most business fails. My neighbor / friend / relative tried doing a business and he/she failed. So, chances are I might fail too.

5. My friends and family are just as afraid as I am.

6. My friends and family don't like me going into business or taking risks. They say what if you fail and you lose everything. They don't like to see me broke and unhappy.

7. I'm comfortable with my job and it's steady paycheck, so I'm afraid that I might lose the comfort of regular money on the ATM.

8. If I fail, I'm afraid I might not be able to bounce back.

9. I'm afraid to fail because I don't believe myself that I will succeed.

10. I'm not good enough.

In fact, no one wants to fail. As in no one. Who does?

Unfortunately, failing is a part of life. Everyone fails.

You failed at coming to work or an appointment on time. Can you count how many times?

You failed to see your child's graduation day because you were stuck on meeting.

You failed to lose weight after you promise yourself to go on a diet or exercise.

You failed to meet your promises. I know you do!

You even failed to meet your job description!

You failed to keep your resolutions.

You failed many times.

The truth is, everyone fails at some point.

 

In the subject of TOO AFRAID TO FAIL in venturing or even starting a business, is actually a born out of CHOICE.

There's always risk involve, but at the end of the day, the CHOICE you're going to make determines the kind of result you will have.

If you choose not to do it or even try it because you are TOO AFRAID TO FAIL, then most likely you're results will always be limited!

Remember, business or being good in business is never an inborn talent. It is taught and learned just like discipline is taught to a child.

Mistake Equals Growth

Tweet

The beauty about being in business is that I get to learn new things every single day. Be it about in business, about life, about pursuit of success, and failure, you nameit!

New lessons seems to pop up on a daily basis.

This is what I call GROWTH

As Benjamin Franklin had said, If you are not growing you are dying.

No wonder I often hear from former colleagues cringe every time they discuss about life at work. They often say, "I'm not learning anything", 'I feel like I'm stuck here forever", "There is no personal growth", "It's the same old same", and
etc.

How could you expect growth to happen when you do the same things you do, over and over?

Perhaps the main reason why there's no (or little) growth being in a job is that as a worker, you are not allowed to commit mistakes. Because if you commit a mistake in your job, it will be costly on the perspective of the business where you are
working for. You might be even charged or fined for the losses or worst, get fired.

But in business or life in general, making mistakes is the fastest way to learn and to grow. Because it will present you an opportunity to correct the mistakes, and as long
as you improve and grow yourself from that mistake, you will bring
yourself closer to your goals.

Make mistakes and the sooner you make them, the sooner you'll become successful.

As my mentor always remind us, money follows growth! If you want more money in your life, allow yourself to grow a thousand or even a million times.

Cheers to your endless growth!,

Is Success Guaranteed?

Tweet

All of us want to be successful. Yes, or Yes?

(Raise your hand and comment below why you don’t want to reach the success you’ve dreamed of)

The answer to the question “Is Success Guaranteed?” is a big NO.

The Meaning of Success

We may have different interpretations of what Success means, so to keep you readers on the same page as I am, let me define what I mean with it.

Examples of Successes

• Finishing first in a 100-meter track and field tournament is success for an athlete runner.
• Giving birth to a healthy child is success for a willing mother.
• Passing the RN board exams is success for a future nurse.
• Winning the election is success for a presidential aspirant.
• If you subscribe to the idea of this blog and act on it, is success to the author.

Success in general is the realization of an objective.

I am referring to the ultimate success of all. For me, the realization of a person’s dreams and life goals is the ultimate success.

Fact is, dreams and goals cost money.

Let me show you why.

Say, your dream is just to have a simple life with a simple family living in a simple house in a simple place, with a simple car. You would send your children to a simple school. You’d travel (with the entire family, of
course) to places at least once in a year. You want also simple things like tv, ref, phone, fixtures and others.

My dream calculator says:

Simple house – 2,000,000

Simple car – 300,000

Simple school (15 years at 20000 per year tuition) – 300,000

Simple travel (you wouldn’t want to travel alone right?) – 500,000

Simple things – 100,000

Based on above assumptions, to have your simple dreams fulfilled, you need 3.2 million pesos.

Excluding all the other necessities to live such as food, clothing, daily transport, utilities. Does it still sound simple? I don’t think so anymore.

Now what if you have BIG dreams? You can just imagine how BIG the cost you need to get to your dreams. Agree? =)

Failure is Guaranteed

Unfortunately for most, Filipinos are educated and trained to become employees. It is because the education system was and still is designed to produce employees instead of entrepreneurs.

Can you get to your dreams if you’re an employee? Answer: Absolutely not

Okay, you may be a high salaried joe with a 6-digit wage. This brings me to another fact.

Dreams need time. Time to spend your dreams with the ones that matter to you most. And I know that employee executives in a company spends more time than rank and file. Which gives them less valuable time to spend their high income.

Just ask yourself if your happy with the current state of your life. (I bet all of you would answer no.)

What is guaranteed in life? Answer: Failure.


Doing nothing entails failure. If you do nothing, nothing will happen and that will not get you any closer to your ultimate success.

If you do something, something will happen. It’s not guaranteed that you’ll be successful immediately. But if you keep on doing something, something is going to keep on happening. That’s where success will come in

Business is the only fighting chance we all have to reach our goals and dreams. Not just any business but big business as described here (click me). It’s because it’s business that will give you cashflow without you needing to work for money in exchange of time.

We, Core Team of Create Abundance, our mission is to share to you ways and means to learn business, to learn financial education. We learn it effectively by doing the real thing Because we want our dream of First World Philippines to happen. We want to succeed.

Are your DREAMS important to you? If yes, start doing something TODAY.

He Choose To Live A Life of Abundance

What’s in a name? – William Shakespeare

Who the heck is Jervis? And why are you reading this piece?
Jervis was born and raised in Angeles City, a Kapampangan.
His parents are Ilocanos, from the Nueva Ecija lands.
His father came from a poor family who only knew farming.
His mother is only daughter of a poor couple.

Jervis is an electrical engineer.
He studied hard to become a licensed one.
He even worked for his college tuition to graduate.
He once believed becoming an engineer will raise his status in life.
That he will be able to get rich and improve his family’s lot.
That was his father’s belief too.
So his dad always said, study hard, get good grades, so you can get a secure and high-paying work
7 years ago, he worked in Laguna with a thousand folks.
He worked there for 5 long years.
He worked harder and harder during those 5 years.
One time too many, he even worked 48 hours straight without sleep.
With a mediocre salary that can only support his basic needs without a penny to keep.
In a big factory of hard disk drives.

His father went to Saudi Arabia the year when he was born.
He only see his dad every 2 years when he goes home.
He grew up basically without his father on the side.
He grew up somewhat with an incomplete family and no one else to confide.
Throughout his 28 years of existence, he was only able to be with his dad for less than 1000 days combined.
Today, his father is still in Saudi Arabia, already working beyond retirement age, I'm certain he's tired.
His three brothers are in abroad too.
His eldest and youngest siblings are in Saudi Arabia, with his father.
The other one is in Canada, working for McDonalds.

They are all working overseas as employees for first world nations.
What his dad has demonstrated in life, his brothers are also doing.
But not him.
He choose the other way around.
He choose to stay in his motherland.
He believe that getting a job overseas with a dollars pay is not a solution to the common problems in life—problem of poverty.
He believe he can change the course of his life.
He earnestly believe he can change the course of his family’s plight.
He definitely believe he can bring back home his dad and brothers.
And he sees one day in the future, his family will be in one home together.

So he started changing his ways.
He began changing his thoughts in a haste.
He threw all his old books and old reading.
And read stories of successful people, and mindset-changing.
He quit his first job.
Got a replacement work with low pay, but with more time to spare for his life-changing ways.
And then one fine sunny day,
He found Create Abundance 2020.
A business community who love to help people.
A business school whose passion is to change the mindset of the Filipinos.
A community of persons who are purpose-driven.
A community of people motivated by big dreams and goals.
A community who sees Philippines—becoming a first world nation.
A community who wants financial freedom for everyone.
A community he considers, his rich family, with a rich dad, a rich mom and rich brothers and rich sisters.
Who are always there to support him, through thick and thin.
Who cry with him whenever he’s sad.
And laugh at joyous moments and times.

Jervis found a rich home.
Where he will grow strong, rich and abundant.
He welcomes failures so he can achieve success.
He empowers others to reach for their visions.
He breathes abundance so he can realized his dreams…
For himself.
For his family.
And for others.

This is his story.
A story of choosing to live a life of abundance.

How about you? What are you living for?
