As I grow as an Entrepreneur, and as I watch others around me grow, it becomes more and more evident that the power to succeed is inside of all of us. The people who struggle really aren't ready to accept the responsibility for their own success.

My growth and that around me has shown me that, paraphrasing here, success is 1% Inspiration and 99% Perspiration. We've all heard that quote many times, but most of the things we here over and over again, we hear because they are true. I joined a business because I thought I was ready to make a change. I did my research and found a great opportunity. There was a Proven System that people were duplicating, a High-Ticket product to market and sell, and great support from the team.

They said all I had to do was plug into the marketing methods they were using and the system would move people through the sales process and actually close sales for me. Sounds great, but of course nothing is as turn key as it sounds when you are about to sign up for a new opportunity. This system does live up to the hype, but the learning curve on the marketing was a little longer than I had planned.

Things were pretty slow right off the go, but I had made a significant investment in my business and I was determined to make it work. I followed all of the marketing information I was given, but things still weren't working. I finally figured out that no one was going to care about my business like I would. I was waiting to capitalize on the work that had been done by others. What I should have been doing is working my butt off to create my own success, and use the info and work done by those before me to supplement the success I create for myself.

Since I made the conscious decision to Empower myself, I've come a lot further, and my business is growing much faster. The power is in all of us. You just need to find the passion and work ethic it takes to create the reality you desire.
