The Wheels Keep Turning

Jim-"I have an idea! I'm going to invent a square wheel!" 

Sean- " Why not put the square on top of the wheel so that you can ride it?"

Jim- "No, no. I got it! Even better. Why don't I put the square on top of the wheel so people can ride in it?!"

Sean-" I just said that."

We come up with great ideas everyday. Some of them are just wishful thinking, others have paved the way for the advancement of human kind. When it comes to business though, you don't always have to invent something brand new. You don't always have to create something that " no one has ever seen before." Sometimes you just need to innovate. Make improvements to an already existing idea. Find your niche in the market that you choose and become an expert at it. 

Musicians do it all the time. There are plenty of people who make music but there are many genres, styles, and variations that you can specialize in. Just make a decision and improve upon it. Find your own lane to put the wheel in. I'm in the process of doing that with my real estate venture. It's a lot easier said than done but it CAN and will be done. I just need to take it to the next level. All you have to do is make it happen people!

Project Based or Hourly Based Pay?

Which one would you prefer? Some businesses pay by the hour while others pay by the project. 

Depending on the structure of the business, one might work better than the other. But as an employee, which one would you prefer? One is performance based while the other is the amount of hours put in. 

Quality more so over quantity or vice versa?

The Road Less Traveled

One of the things that I promised myself that I was going to do was to make sure I don't multi-task too much. So far, when I have tried to think about more than one thing at a time, I usually don't accomplish much. Over the past few months, I have been training myself to devote my task to one thing at a time. It's been difficult but I am making progress. I began making a schedule to follow everyday and so far, I have been sticking to it. Once I get better with it, I can start adding things that I think are necessary.

I have also came to grips with the fact that my path is uniquely my own. I have tried to go the route that others have went and it hasn't worked yet and will never work. Most of the things I want to do will take time but I'm willing to be patient.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! I am blessed to say that I have made it to the new year and have so many things that I am looking forward to experiencing. I hope everyone had a great holiday and I want to thank you for your support of this site. I do this for you!I know people normally do the whole "new year resolutions" list but it hasn't worked for me as of yet. So the word for the year is ACTION. Even if the outcome doesn't go as planned, my attitude is to make it happen. Last year had its highs and its lows: graduation (high), moving back home (low). 

All in all, I learned a lot about myself and what my dreams are. Things are becoming more clear everyday. I'm getting more focused and determined on achieving my goals. I'm beginning to find my purpose. They are becoming more tangible and realistic as time goes by. I will be more attentive to you guys because it is your continued interest in becoming entrepreneurs that drives me to keep this up.

I want know what YOU guys have planned for the new year. What are some of your resolutions or goals for 2011? Leave some comments and let me know how you're accomplishing them. Wish you all much success and stayed tuned because there's much more to come!
