If you have read Build It Big then you’ve experienced the power in those 101 insider secrets in direct selling. Build It Big made such an impact on the direct selling community that we were inspired to continue the series. More Build It Big brings 101 MORE insights for your business. Our friend David Bach provided his expert advice within More Build It Big called The Myth about Being in Business for Yourself. I’d love to share an excerpt with you in hopes that it inspires you as much as it has me.
“Myth No. 2: You Need to Have Experience
Friends and relatives may warn you that you need to have experience in business in order to be able to start one. Don’t let these people steal your dreams. While experience certainly helps, action beats inaction any day of the week. Besides, you don’t have to go it alone. These days, it’s easy to be in business for yourself but not by yourself. As you’ll discover, there are so many resources out there to help you build a home-based business and second stream of income you may wonder why you waited so long to do this. There are countless companies dedicated to helping you get your business off the ground with training and mentoring systems designed to help you succeed. In addition, the government now offers training and there are many volunteer organizations staffed by veteran entrepreneurs whose experience you can tap into.”
The following are some self-coaching questions relevant to the insight above:
- What experience do I have in business?
- How will that experience serve me in starting this business?
- What action do I commit to taking today that will create the results I desire?
Each of us has strengths and areas for improvement. Remember that direct selling is a journey. You will have an abundance of opportunities to gain experience, learn new insights and sharpen your skills. The important point here is to begin, to take action, to go after your dreams with enthusiasm and belief.
“Experience is the teacher of all things.” – Julius Caesar
You will gain your own experience and benefit from the wisdom of those who have walked the path before you. It is our intention that the insights shared on the MyDSWA.org blog, DSWA.org website, and the Build It Big series will expedite your “learning curve”.
More Build It Big is a must-have resource for anyone in the direct selling profession or if you are interested in following your dream and beginning that journey today.
