Running Away From Success?
Are you running away from success? C'mon, now! Why would anyone do that?

The irony is, though, that a good number of new business owners do exactly that without knowing it. And they're the exact ones who end up failing.

Let's look for a moment at what starting a successful business involves:

• Learning a bunch of new skill sets
• Setting up business systems you've never done before
• Interacting with people to learn what they need and how you can satisfy those needs

That's a whole lot of unexplored territory. It's a whole lot of stepping into things that are outside your experience.

And what are the most common things that people do when faced with the unknown? That's right:

• Procrastinate
• Delay
• Waffle

It's easier to make another list than it is to take action on what you have at hand.

It's easier to explore another new idea than it is to take action on one you've already developed.

It's easier to wait until everything is absolutely perfect (which never comes) than it is to take action right here, right now and trust yourself to deal with things that aren't perfect as you go along.

Succeeding at business is more than just what business to start, what products to offer, and what tools you use to generate traffic. Most successful business owners agree that success is 90% about YOU.

• It's about the way you approach your business
• It's about the way you handle risk
• It's about the mindset you develop

Just because it's all about YOU, though, doesn't mean that you're on your own in developing these skills. I've found BANABU to be a great resource for this crucial part of becoming a successful business owner.

Yeah, I've been talking about BANABU a lot this week because I've found it to be the best help around for doing these things. I've found it invaluable for developing a mindset that allows you to move forward and succeed at business—or for whatever goals you have for your life.

It's been a big help to me personally in turning around some of the things I've wanted to change in my life. It's powerful stuff.

Seriously, why focus just on the 10% of things that help your business succeed and leave the other 90% to chance? I know why most people do. It's because they secretly hope they'll stumble across some magic wand that will instantaneously transform everything in their life without having to step out of their comfort zone.

But that doesn't happen. I've said it many times over the years. The most effective way to change what's happening AROUND you is to change what's happening IN you. And that's what BANABU's all about.

Check it out, if you haven't already. Just don't just let it sit all lonely and ignored in the deep recesses of your hard drive. It's powerful stuff. But you need to use it to get the benefit out of it.
