When we think of the word “Success” it can have many different meanings to people including the top grade on a test, retirement to a dream location, enough money to take care of desires, or enough to pay for children’s education at the best schools. So whatever the individual’s definition is, it is always about achievement of that certain something or getting to that certain place.

We have discovered that as much as people in general say they want success, extremely few actually put in the time and effort, and seek out and get the help they need in order to define and achieve their goals for success. Time and time again we hear the excuses and weak reasoning, as to why they failed to follow through including “my parents didn’t prepare me,” “I didn’t get the right education,” “I’ll wait for the economy to improve,” and “I’m stuck trying to decide what to do.”

Through the experience of helping thousands of Entrepreneurs be successful, I have observed there are people that believe they can and will succeed, and those who truly do not, and as it turns out the overwhelming majority of the time, both kinds are almost always right. When we look closely at the strongest personality traits of the true Entrepreneur, they believe they will succeed, and will do whatever it takes to reach the goals they have set to measure their success and make their dreams come true. An out of work employee who hasn’t been able to find another job decides to run the risk of starting their own business, an Entrepreneur whose business is struggling just to break-even, and decides to seek much needed help from someone that knows how to improve businesses. They both know and understand that what stands in their path to success are really opportunities and challenges that need the right planning and effort to meet and overcome.

But when we look closely at those without the right kind of drive to achieve success, any kind of challenge gives them an “excuse” to put off, delay, quit, or as they almost always manage to do, lay blame for their failures on others, so they don’t have to ask someone for help, or even simply change how they do things. They fail to develop a plan to follow closely, and make the necessary changes and adjustments to stay on the path to success, and this is one of the biggest reasons why 45% of businesses fail within the first two years and 90% fail within 10 years.

People instilled with a strong entrepreneurial spirit know what they believe, and are willing to do whatever it takes including the steps necessary to clearly define their mission and vision, and concisely plan how they will achieve their goals and dreams of SUCCESS, and then successfully execute their plan.
