You've just started a new business venture, or about to buy into a property investing scheme or perhaps a home based business. STOP! Before you make that final decision - these are 3 important things you should think about, to ensure long lasting success.
1. Passion and interest is more important than how much money the opportunity will make you. I know this may seem like a pretty bold statement - but if you want to make sure this is going to last the long term you have to have a vested interest and an eventual love for what you do. Speaking from my own experience, I used to focus on the money - I started studying stocks and kept procrastinating because I really had no interest in it. However I forced myself for the money - eventually time and money wasted, I realised I didn't enjoy it and turned to the next opportunity.
Ask yourself - can you learn to love the money making vehicle you choose? Are you passionate about the way you are going to make money, if so - that is the first point checked off the list!
2. Proof in the Pudding! That's right, has your business opportunity, property investing scheme or stock market system been proven? IS their research to prove that it works, statistics - or even professionals that you respect have used / done it and it has worked? If not - do your own research and investigations. Otherwise you could be wasting your money and time on made up figures. It is a good idea to ask a successful person in the industry about what they think. The successful ones will be happy to help you out, and will give good advice!
Research, investigation and evidence will prevent you from wasting any of your precious time, that you could be spending with a successful opportunity! As all good carpenters say - Measure twice, cut once.
3. Finally, and something often forgotten amongst all the hype - check this financial opportunity is going to actually get you the lifestyle you want. Imagine your main goal for finding a 'vehicle' to get you to financial freedom is so you can spend more time with the kids. Then you get a home based business opportunity - but it actually has you working from 8-8 at home, you still won't see the kids. Don't get caught up in the excitement of the money, or the potential opportunity UNLESS it will achieve the lifestyle you actually want.
Write down your long term goals of the lifestyle you want to achieve first, and then see if the money making vehicle will help you to attain that.
With these 3 points, and your future mapped out with lifestyle goals you are on your way to success. All you need to ensure success is some commitment, determination and of course - don't forget to have fun. After all - life is for living, and it's the lifestyle with a smile you want!
