4 P's to Success

There is no question about it; to get ahead, you have to pay your dues. It is not easy, it is not fast, but if you stick with it, you will eventually reach the results that you desire. There are 4 P's to success in any business endeavor you choose - passion,patience,perseverance, and prospective.

Let's take a look at patience first. Many people want a fast answer their money woes and especially with the way the economy is now a days, that is no surprise. However, to make sure that you set up your business the right way, you cannot rush. It is easy to do and a HUGE MISTAKE. I am guilty of this in part from just not knowing how to go about utilizing the internet for my business ventures and being in a hurry to get cash flow into my bank account. I was able to learn from my mistakes, and there were many. It is my intention to help others to avoid these costly mistakes.

Secondly, perseverance is key. I found myself having to literally reeducate myself in areas that I knew little to nothing about in order to move in the direction of success. This requires a strong desire to learn what you need to know in order to educate yourself as well as the burning initiative to take the steps you require to gain the success you crave. If you do not have that, you will get nowhere fast. There are headaches and setbacks along the way, but you must keep going to reach your goals.

Next, you must have prospective. Give yourself a set amount of time to achieve your goals and if you fall short at that time then you need to step back and reevaluate the situation you are in. Do you need to restructure to make a positive impact? Or start over? Perhaps you find yourself thinking, this is not for me, but at least I tried. The most successful people will always tell you that you will fail big before you achieve big success. You have a choice to accept failures and look at them as learning experiences or as defeats. I will be brutally honest here; If you look at them from the latter prospective, then being an entrepreneur is most definitely NOT for you.

Last, but far from least, there is the PASSION that goes into every creation. Everyone is good at something, and you must find that something that drives you; that one thing (or maybe two) you are passionate about. Making money doing something you love is necessary to succeed. If you hate what you do, then you will not put in the energy that is required. You will not reach your goals. PASSION is the final key.

Keep focused, keep going, be realistic, and look for what makes you tick. You will succeed-eventually.-PJ
