I want my own business
Hi folks, I bet you said that to yourself a couple of times already, I want my own business, the thing is... are you willing to walk the extra mile to get it?
Do you know you only need 3 things to start a successful business? Yes, you read it right! You need only 3 things... I like to call it KOW
- Knowledge
- Opportunity
- Willpower
I want my own business The Opportunity
I will tell you a little story about Lil Joe and how he grabbed an opportunity and changed his life. This is a fictional name for a true story of someone I'm acquainted.
Lil Joe had one tourist boat and he made cruises upside down a 500 miles river. One day, something catastrophic happened, one of the river bridges fell down due to bad mantainance. This bridge was the nearest connection of a region to the 2nd largest city.
In the same day, Lil Joe stopped doing his tourism trips along the river and promptly offered his humble boat to work as a ferry and transport people from one side to the other, the idea was to maintain the connectivity between both sides of the river.
This was when Lil Joe saw a major OPPORTUNITY, his little boat was only doing 3% of the daily needs and the fallen bridge news was all over the place, people wanted and needed to crucify the responsible party.
Lil Joe was bold enough to meet the local authorities on day 2 and managed to go all the way up to the Central Goverment to propose a 100% daily need fulfillment until a new bridge was built!
He had no money but with the goverment contract, he managed to buy two colossal ferry boats that granted the passage between both sides of the river.
Lil Joe now owns dozens of boats, but only because he grabed that opportunity. That was the kickstart of the biggest tourist boat company in my country.
I want my own business, do you want yours? Stay tunned for next episode ;)

In the last week or 2, I've gotten way out of my comfort zone and tried something new and have really started getting into email marketing more so than I ever have in the past and I'm about to kick it even further into high gear with both of my websites now that I realize what kept holding me back was fear of something that I might not be able to get working and it turned out to be much easier then I thought. I WANT to succeed and I want to earn a livable income online and I will continue to try new things and keep learning here at WA until I reach that goal.
That is the "Knowledge" side of KOW.
What makes us human beings different from other animals is that we learn and adapt to new circumstances/challenges...
Learn, try, retry, get better at it, until perfection is the Knowledge ladder... keep going up step by step and you will get to the top of the mountain.
Email marketing is a very powerful tool, learn to master it and the compensation will be awesome.
Cheers, and thank you for your comment.

little boat is a great way to start a business Pedro. Look at what these "juice guys" did! https://www.drpeppersnapplegroup.com/brands/nantucket-nectars
Yes, mate it's a matter of seeing that opportunity and grabbing it.
Some of the simplest ideas have enormous effects on the world.
One classic example is the pallet for cargo to be transported. Simple but brilliant idea.
