A magic genie suddenly appears before you saying, “I will grant you but one wish in the amount of money of your choosing.”
How much will you ask for?
The real question then becomes , how much is enough?
The “enoughness question” can be a difficult one to answer. It’s not one which you can just simply rattle off an answer to, as it requires some thought, quite a bit in fact. It requires that you know what you really want out of life, and what you believe to be most important. It is necessary for you to have definition and clarity about what you truly want to accomplish.
This is different for everyone.
Many people come to entrepreneurship with a kind of baggage, certain standards and rules they've learned, picked up and applied along the way. These “standards” have been gleaned and cultivated from years of previous experience. These ideals then become ingrained, and may have been useful at times. But what this actually does for the entrepreneur is limit creativity, aspiration and development.
Putting yourself “in a box” places limits upon true business growth.
New and aspiring entrepreneurs tend to limit their goals and aspirations. While anxious and excited, they are also nervous and fearful. They are afraid that they are going to fail. Due to lack of confidence, they limit business and lifestyle goals believing that they are unable to be true to themselves until they accomplish more.
Certainly, it is essential to be realistic when setting your business goals. However, it is also essential to not be limited by lack of confidence in what you can possibly achieve.
Be honest with yourself about what you really want with respect to business and lifestyle, and the level you want to play on. If you want it, you can achieve it. Limiting your vision simply because you do not know whether you are capable, will limit your business building success.
