I wouldn't even know where to begin, or start, but I want to learn BUSINESS; Real Business, not an illusion of what a business is, or should be like.
MY STEPS:
1. I First, started out of my apartment I lived in, calling people from the phone book,asking how they started their companies.
2. I went the HOME BUSINESS ROUTE, buying my business in a box, going from financial services, to physical products that were delivered to homes.
3. I bought and cold called leads[which was really , hard for me to do].
4. I approached people, I didn't even know, and tried to preform the hustle .
I was able to gain a few customers' this way,but nothing sustainable.
I became a business partner, with two local tiny business owners in two different niches.
I say Tiny, because they both had less than five employees.Both Businesses were already
on a road to failure. Even , with me bringing in new customers'
After, years of FAILURE, I decided to quit marketing and focus on inventing.This also, has it challenges and choices.
So, you see my journey so far. I want to TRANSITION, turn my life around.Become, like some of the great authors I read about. I just think at this point my life has hit a crises, A person can only crawl so long, before he is ready to walk. Other than being a landlord, I don't see any other strength.
MY VISION WHERE I SEE MYSELF:
Owning and operating a HOTEL or DUPLEXES in a Christian Community, where sharing Gods word and taking tenants to healthy gatherings is a major part of our services.Based on what I learned from handling tenant complaints in 2012-2014 I think I have a understanding of how to create the atmosphere and have incredibly nice living , and still charge tenants less than $1000/mo .
Now, you see my End GOAL where I am trying to reach.
MY why, THE REASON I do what I do, I feel in my soul it is my purpose in life.
Oprah Winfrey, on her blog said a person, has two very important times in their life the day they are born, and the day they realize their purpose.
Reason for this post: I need Clarity, SMART minds to help me think the way I should.
