So to sum it up, it has not only to maintain and do well, the system should have opportunities and resources for brainstorming, innovation, competitive analysis and other measures in place to ensure that it improves and does better year after year. If I were to break it down to 2 factors on what run good systems, they are:
1. People
2. Technology

People monitor systems and ensure that everything is going according to plan. Marketing create the leads. Sales convert them. Customer Service retain them. On top of this, a good IT infrastructure automates many processes and reduces the no. of people required. Some people look at the companies I run and accuse us of being small. Frankly, I don’t really care what people say as long as I earn more than them. I like being small. Its a testimony to an effective self-automated process. So what must a good Entrepreneur possess after knowing this? Faith in his people and his technology.

“If you created 1000 ways of earning residual income, how would your life be different today, 5 or 10 years from now?”

“The entrepreneur is not really interested in doing the work; he is interested in creating the way the company operates. The entrepreneur builds an enterprise; the technician builds a job. If they don’t fail outright, most businesses fail to fully achieve their potential. That’s because the person who owns the business doesn’t truly know how to build a company that works without him or her.. which is the key.” - Michael Gerber

It was the challenge. The adrenaline rush. The possibility of winning, despite the odds. I guess that pretty much sums up what I’d like to talk about today. The push factor. We all have it. We just have to determine what it’ll take for us to push ourselves to the limit. Oftentimes, we can push much more that we think we can. I’m not talking about what most employees do. Push paper.

“If it’s not hard, then why bother doing it? Would there be any sense of achievement, if there wasn’t any challenge in the first place?“

“Ever notice how your senses are heightened when you are in challenging situations? You’re experiencing an adrenaline rush that gives you extra energy. If you see every day as a challenge, you’d be surprised how efficient you can become, and how much can be accomplished.” - Donald Trump

“Don’t you think it’s high time you run your own businesses to protect some if not all your assets?”

“Rich people always have a certain degree of debt. Apparently it helps to reduce taxes. I’m not so hot on the bean-counting side.” - Felix Dennis

Sometimes.. we don’t understand how difficult it is to do something so simple. Red light. Slow down.. step on brakes.  Instead, we step on the accelertor and do the illogical. Then it hit me.

It makes perfect sense to me to run your own business. It’s simple. Yet, in the face of circumstances, it takes courage. Why are there so few Entrepreneurs? The answer is simple.

Do you have what it takes to be in control of any situation.. to be in control of your life?

“My son is now an “entrepreneur.” That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job.” - Ted Turner

After each near death experience, I would come back stronger and with more resilence. Do or Do not. There is no try.

“I’ve reached the pinnacle of my career. I just feel that I don’t have anything else to prove.” - Michael Jordan

Heard of a similar story before? So often do I hear of tall stories that lead to nowhere. I once read on a bookmark that an idea will remain an idea until you do something about it. Honestly, how on earth do you expect to succeed if no one can trust what you say because you can’t deliver what you promise? If you’re spreading tall stories, then for goodness sakes, stop! Say what you mean and do what you preach! Otherwise, stop disgusting the people around you. We don’t have the time to waste our breath on you. Especially me.

Is your life a tall story or is there some substance to it?

“There are 2 kinds of people you meet in life. One who walk the talk and one who’s just full of talk. Those who don’t say much, are too busy walking.” - Hustle & Flow (Movie)

Haha… yes.. I know you don’t really like to read this blog. So leave. I’m not forcing anyone. =)

We all need a reality check sometimes. Are we truly happy with everything that’s revolving around us? Is there room for improvement? If there is, do we have the guts to reach out and go for it? Questions questions questions. So many questions. Yet questions determine our choices which result in our actions in life. All these lead to our destiny.

Have you asked yourself a deep powerful burning question today?

“Successful people ask better questions, and as a result, they get better answers.” - Anthony Robbins
