What Is The Power Which Drives Us To Open Our Own Business

Everyone has some motor which drives us to do something different so I ask myself what is the fuel which keeps that motor running.


Without that fuel we still lived in the age of the cave-men and without comfort no homes as we know it or as we live in. Imagine yourself without any store where you buy your food, instead you’ll hunt for your daily needs. There are no hunting tools you just make your hole and hope that the animals will be trapped in that whole and you have food for a few days. So what is that fuel which drives and motivates and keeps us going to invent or do something different what we are doing right now?


Desire is the best word you can think of or you can have. If there is no desire nothing will happen, and nothing would have been achieved and nothing will be achieved. We just live like mechanical robots without any program or software. Imagine what we would lack off: trains, houses, cars, bicycles, what ever facilitates your life and your work we wouldn’t have. Our thoughts even wouldn’t think in a family without a desire how will there be a family. Everything started with the word desire, the first men thought of how to hunt more productive and in a much easier way than a hole. They invented the first hunting tools, made out of wood, afterwards made out of stone and later on made out of metal.
In that way they have invented the first jug, the first utensils for the home, afterwards for the work and so on. Now we are oversupplied with everything imaginable that we never think how to live without it. We go to vacation and we have to have our TV because we cannot live without it. We live in a house and not in a cave nor in a wooden cabin or wooden hovel. We have rope to dress us when it’s cold and raining, we dress us for winter and summer and for every occasion. We dress with solid shoes and not with sandals.


There was a time that nothing exists and to invent something there has to be a dream and a desire to change the things we are not comfortable with and to get something better which suits us more and which helps us to save time and also money, because time is money. If you need less time for your work you get paid the same but you finish faster and you work on something else afterwards and receive more money. So instead of getting paid one time for eight hours you’ll be able to receive two or three times payment for the same time because you work for two or three different customers. And all that is achieved with desire to change something.


So imagine without any desire nothing in the world moves forward. There wouldn’t be any light nor even candle light. The force of desire is the motor which moves the world, our business, our family and everything we can see and touch and think off. Without any desire the people move and act like robots, there is no brain and without brain there is no imagination no thinking at all, it’s just a mechanical movement. But even the robots need something to move forward if you have only a piece of metal junk this will not move by itself, so you need some kind of build in action that he can move his feet and arms. You see there is nothing that can be done without a desire.


If you like to start for example a business or do what ever it is, there has to be a desire or a dream that you like to change yourself for something better. Every change you focus on is something for better otherwise there is no reason for a change. It has to be for a better life, work less and earn more, stay more time with your family, travel on vacation where ever you want, choose to live in a bigger house, work from your home, there are so many more different reasons for a change in your life. The only reason for not achieving a change is your limitation of your vision. You know the ones who have no dream or vision or desire they are cease living.


Everything you like to achieve there has to be a desire or a vision. If there is no desire or dream for what you like to be or become in your life, there is no such an achievement. How you can achieve something without seeing it in your dream or in your vision. When you not seeing something you’ll not ask for having it because you cannot buy something what you don’t see.


So the first rule when starting a business is to imagine or form your vision and most important to see in your mind what will you achieve with your business. It is not only the desire to have a ton of money, you have to focus on what do you like to be or become into to receive that ton of money. If you work only for the sake of money you never will be happy when you achieve it. There has to be a stronger reason that drives you forward like achieving something which helps a lot of people to live better or work better. If you help a lot of people and by the way receive a lot of money your life will turn in a satisfaction and you start to become more efficient with your work or your business. This desire will form you as a business owner or an entrepreneur.


But if you start a business on your own without a desire you have no motivation what so ever to become successful. Every famous people like Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Henry Ford, Thomas Edison and many thousands more, they all had a strong desire to achieve something in their lives. Without that strong desire they wouldn’t have become what they are and besides the name they branded they also became immensely rich. But don’t only think of money try to become a person of value and the money will follow.


Many people fail in there business because they have no strong desire to achieve something, they fail when they reach their first obstacle; the desire is not strong enough be overcome the fear of that obstacle. The fear is sometimes greater than their desire. How much desire do you think needs a gold-medal-winner? Without a burning desire he never will move that far to stand on a podium and receive the gold medal. From the start up he forms the vision and the desire to stay on that Podium until he’s achieving it. The gold medal is the reward for turning his desire and dream into action. Without action and I’m not saying one-time action, no, the moment he feels that strong desire he starts training every day, to live-up and to turn this desire into reality. This means he has to change his lifestyle, change certain habits like nutrition, sleep enough and focus all the time to that desire and the final goal. Without having the iron will to go the extra mile every day and say no to everything else which harms his road to success he never will succeed. The same happens to you when starting something. It doesn’t matter what it is remember to go always the extra mile. If you try to start your own business, if you try to loose weight, when you start with your fitness-workout, what ever it is you are most likely sentenced to fail during your journey without the desire and focus to success. You know the greatest achievements only take place in the framework or your great expectations.


Every time you like to start something new or different, ask yourself first, how strong my desire is, how strong I’m focusing on that goal. Then write down your strategy, your steps you have to go to achieve it; write down small steps and every time you achieve a step celebrate it that will motivate you to walk on to the next step. When you feel that you can’t reach the next goal in your strategically plan step back and walk the same road again until you feel secure you’ll make it. Try to get some motivation from your friends or consult some other people who have done it before to motivate you and to support you. If you go slowly but consistently you’ll see there is no obstacle big enough that you can’t overcome.
