Most of Us Have Far More Courage…

PassionPlusProfits_MOST OF US HAVE FAR MORE COURAGE THAN WE EVER DREAMED WE POSSESSED

That quote by Dale Carnegie really resonates with me. It’s a great reminder that all the courage we need is already within us.

Believe me, your own profitable online business is within your reach; you just need to exercise the right amount of courage in proportion to the size of the business you desire.

For example, right now my goal is to net $15K per month from a portfolio of online businesses. I currently earn almost half of that working my corporate 9-to-5 job. If I am going to make my online dreams a reality, then I will have to exercise the courage to take action and make it happen.

The same holds true for you.

You’ll require the courage to do that which you have not done before; to venture into uncharted territory; to risk your own investments of time and money.

It will take the courage to do what you truly believe is possible while others think otherwise. It’s the courage to step out on stage and be vulnerable, under the watchful, judging eyes of others.

The bad news is that these fears and risks may never go away completely. And as you reach new levels of success, there will be larger fears to encounter.

The good news is that you already possess all the courage you need to realize your dreams.

An interesting thing about fear is that when you rise with courage to face your own fears, many times you’ll find that there was nothing to fear in the first place. Your perceived fears never stood a chance.

Yes, it’s true that most of us have far more courage that we may know, but unfortunately most choose not to live courageously.

Be different.

There’s a reason why you want to do the uncommon.
Let’s continue to take courageous action on our journey towards owning profitable online business.

It’s OK to be Scared. Do it anyway.

PassionPlusProfits_IT’S OK TO BE SCARED. DO IT ANYWAY.

Whether you plan to buy an existing business or build one from scratch, there will be challenges, doubts, and fears to overcome.

On this journey you will be required to exercise courage with your actions and decisions. Fortunately, courage is a mental skill that can be conditioned and developed.

You can progressively build up your courage by taking action to conquer smaller fears first. As you overcome these smaller fears, you’ll naturally be able to take on larger ones. Think of it as mental weight training to conquer your fears. Start with the lighter fears first, and then build yourself up to be able to handle the heavy-weight fears.

Understand that you will always have the power to choose to exercise courage over fear. You have the ability to think and take action despite internal or external voices telling you to stay within your own comfort zone.

I couldn’t have said it any better than this:
Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.
― Ralph Waldo Emerson

There’s nothing wrong with being scared. The mistake is in allowing your fear to paralyze you from taking any action at all.

Connect with Those Who Share Your Dreams & Passions

PassionPlusProfits_CONNECT WITH THOSE WHO SHARE YOUR DREAMS & PASSIONS

his post goes out to everyone that I’ve connected with so far and with those who I will be connecting with soon!

It’s crazy to think how fast your life can change once you begin to surround yourself with the right people.

After reviewing my goals, the very first question one of my mentors asked me was: Who’s in your circle?

This really made me think. I absolutely love all my friends and family, however, the truth is that most are employees (which is completely fine if that’s what you desire). I realized that if I wanted to successfully build & buy online businesses, I needed to build relationships with others who are also setting out to do the same thing.

As a result, PassionPlusProfits was created with one thing in mind: to connect and build relationships with serious digital entrepreneurs working to buy and/or build profitable online business.

This is the perfect platform for me to share my thoughts, ideas, as well as my successes and failures with those traveling similar paths, in hopes that you receive something of value.

Now, if you want to accelerate your own achievement of goals, then be sure to ask yourself these questions:
1⃣ Who’s in my inner circle?
2⃣ What kind of relationships am I developing?
3⃣ Who do I allow to be in my ear?
4⃣ Are they an asset to me?
5⃣ Or are they a liability?
6⃣ Do they elevate my spirits?
7⃣ Or do they tear me down?

Be deliberate and conscious about the people you allow into your circle of influence because it will have a significant impact on how well you exercise your passion and profits.

Let’s be sure to connect if we share similar dreams & passions! 👈

The Reason Why Every Business Is for Sale

PassionPlusProfits_THE REASON WHY EVERY BUSINESS IS FOR SALE

More than likely, the right business that meets your needs already exists. There’s a huge number of websites and business brokers who can help you find a business that has already been listed for sale.

One of my mentors has taught me that an often overlooked method to finding the right business is to purchase a business BEFORE it goes to market. This concept is similar to buying a house or getting a job before it’s listed to the general public.

The reason why every business is for sale is because at the right price, EVERY owner will consider selling their business.

You will have a huge advantage in finding your right business if you understand this reasoning. This is the mentality that will significantly increase your chances in finding the right business.

It’s possible to approach a business not currently listed for sale and to start a dialogue with the owner to get them to think about selling.

Interestingly, while my primary objective is to purchase online businesses, by holding the belief that EVERY business is for sale, I’ve found a worthwhile offline business opportunity that I’m currently exploring. All I did was ask about the story of the business because I was interested in the product and now I’m communicating potential acquisition details with the seller.

Under the right conditions deals can be made where both the buyer and seller win.

The whole point of this post is to encourage you to avoid limiting your search to online or newspaper listings. There’s an abundance of options when searching for the right business to buy.

Be open to the idea that there’s a business out there where the current owner just needs you to motivate them to sell at a fair price. They may be ready to sell but just don’t know it yet! 😉
