It finally happened. Someone told me the other day that I was a dreamer. That I had my head in the clouds and I should come back down to earth and visualize reality. At first I was stunned, then I was hurt, then I was angry, then…I merrily went on my way dreaming the dreams of good network marketers and entrepreneurs.
There is a certain type of person that succeeds at being an entrepreneur. Not really a certain personality because network marketers and entrepreneurs are very eclectic in that way. But the type of person that is successful in a new venture is a ‘dreamer’. I mean dreamer in the good sense, a person that is always thinking of better ways to do things. The dreamer-entrepreneur sees a problem and then finds a solution to that problem.
For instance, Henry Ford dreamed of a horseless carriage and made it happen. Thomas Edison dreamed of lighting the world with the harnessed power of lightning. We wouldn’t have automobiles or electricity without these dreamers. Can you imagine what it would be like without electricity; and can you imagine if you never had it what you would think of someone that said he could light your house with power that comes through a long wire rope? I might call him crazy and people did. But he had the desire, determination, and the faith to make his dreams reality.
That is what makes a good entrepreneur. Someone who dreams of success, never gives up, and takes his idea and runs with it until it becomes reality. And the successful entrepreneur has these qualities to get him through the nay-sayers and the lessons along the way:
*
Burning Desire
*
Determination
*
A positive mental process
*
Imagination
*
Faith
*
Courage
*
Belief
Being successful does come with a price. What we see when we think about Henry Ford or Thomas Edison is how smart and lucky they were to have discovered something so needed. On the other hand, think about how many times Thomas Edison tried to harness lightning and how many projects failed for Henry Ford before finally he created a horseless carriage that worked.
If you’re a dreamer and you are bent and determined on becoming a millionaire, owning your own successful home-based business, inventing something or curing a disease know that hundreds of thousands of dreamers came before you and will come after you. And never give up on your idea or your goal because dreamers are the ones that change the world. Keep on keeping on because that is what will make you a successful entrepreneur.
