Change Your World

“Every great dream begins with a dreamer. Always remember, you have within you the strength, the patience, and the passion to reach for the stars to change the world.”

― Harriet Tubman

Anybody who has struck out on their own to start a business knows that it’s an uphill battle, but those who have the strength, patience and passion know that it’s worth the effort.  And the thing is, whether you’ve invented a device that will save a million lives or you’re just opening a corner market, you are making a difference and changing not only the world, but you’re changing your world.

It takes courage to abandon the safety of working for someone else, and the security of knowing that all you have to do is your job.  But day in and day out, those of us with an entrepreneurial spirit dream of the independence of self employment and the freedom that it offers.  Of course, it’s a lot of hard work, and you really have to be dedicated and passionate about your dream, but reaping the rewards of your efforts gives you unparalleled satisfaction that you simply cannot find in the employ of someone else.  Remember, if you have a job, you’re making someone ELSE’S dream come true, but if you have a business, that’s YOURS!  That is YOUR dream coming true, and there is truly no better feeling than knowing that you don’t need anyone else, that you don’t have to be a mere employee, and that YOU ALONE are responsible for your income, your future, your success, and your happiness.

Make it happen!  Turn your dream into a reality!  Fuel that dream with your passion, venture out on your own, and change your world!

 

Just Because You Can…

“Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.”

Jim Rohn

While it might not be the most pleasant fact to face, living below your means is the best way to achieve your long term goals. A conservative operation is the surest way to succeed, but be careful that you don’t sacrifice quality for frugality. An entrepreneur that has the discipline to spend wisely, even when money is readily available, is a person with a better chance of keeping their bottom line out of the red. By doing so, you are better positioned to grow and succeed, but the key is discipline.

Being careful with your money is a maxim that applies both to your personal life as well as your businesses. How you live is surely a reflection of how you run your business. Investors are savvy, and if they meet a business owner seeking credit or capital to expand, and they drive a luxury vehicle, that can be a red flag. Entrepreneurs who are more prudent are typically a safer venture, and often display their self-disciplined nature by living moderately, foregoing avarice for the betterment of their long-term ambitions.

Obviously, it is the prerogative of a successful business owner to choose how to live and spend, but the simple truth is, just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Being disciplined is an investment in yourself, and the returns on that investment are limited only by your own desires!

Progress

“Some quit due to slow progress, never grasping the fact that slow progress…

                    …is progress.”

                                    – Unknown

Persistence is the most important element of building a successful business.  It can be so easy to give up when obstacles present themselves, but the motivated individual will accept the fact that nothing worth having comes easy.  When something arises that slows your progress, keep in mind that the decision to stop or move forward is yours.  Each person has faced adversity at one time or another, and their success or failure is the direct result of their actions, of their decision to give up or push harder to reach their goal.

You can make your dream of owning and operating your own business a reality, so long as you keep in mind that no matter how slow your progress may seem, you are making progress.  Here at National Business Services & Development, our programs are designed to create a pathway for your progress.  If you are willing to work hard to realize the American Dream, with us as your experienced and professional partner, there is no limit to how far you can go!

The Purpose of a Boat

“A boat is safe in the harbor.

But this is not the purpose of a boat.”

                                                 – Paulo Coehlo

Everything in life comes with risk, but every day we take our chances that things are going to turn out in our favor.  Of course, when we set out on any endeavor, whether that be crossing a street, sailing the sea, or starting a new business, we do all we can to mitigate the dangers.  Everyone knows that you don’t cross the street unless you look both ways, and you don’t launch a ship without a compass.  The same principle applies to starting a business – you don’t begin an undertaking like that without taking the appropriate steps to increase your chances of success.

National Business Services & Development, Inc. has been there for many an entrepreneur, guiding them safely through those uncertain early stages of launching a business. Just as you wouldn’t cross the road without looking out for danger, just as you wouldn’t sail on a ship that has no captain, neither would you start a business without seeking an expert.  NBSD, Inc. exists to guide you safely through the rough waters that are the beginning stages of small business ownership.
