Business Motivation: Make A Move!

Running a business is hard work. It requires tons of time, energy, effort, and patience if you want to see your business reach all of the goals you dream of.

Most people see all that it takes to run a business and shy away from the challenge. They think, “I could never do that!” or “I wouldn’t even know where to start!”

But these people are missing a critical part of being a business owner: mindset. It doesn’t always matter what material and resources you have on hand at the start of your business journey. An ambitious and visionary mindset, however, is your ticket to turning an idea into the business of your dreams.

With that, check out this business motivation story to inspire you to develop your go getter mindset:

It happened some time ago but I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet & pulled out a $100 note.

Holding it up, he asked, “Who wants this $100 note?”

Lots of hands went up, including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout “Me!” “Me!” and I began to wonder who the lucky one would be. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too) why he would simply give away $100. Even as the shouts of “I want it” grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle.

She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the $100 from his hand.

“Well done, young lady,” said the speaker into the microphone.

The speaker simply said, “Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen. But that’s of no use. You’ve got to make things happen. Make a move. Simply thinking about doing something is of no use and not good enough.”

Our lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We all want the good things. We all want the $100 notes on offer. But the problem is we don’t take action; we don’t make a move.

It’s simple. Get up, and do something about it. Don’t worry about what other people might think. Take action.
