magazine (30)

This is one of the best pieces of advise that I have been given. Many times we feel that things aren't working for us. Maybe we aren't making as many sales as we wanted. Or we aren't recruiting the number of people we thought we would because they just don't see what we saw nor are they willing to take a look. 

 

It could be that all the people who are associated with are mocking you or urging you to quit. I was listening to a CD Making the Shift by Darren Hardy, Publisher of Success Magazine  and I heard him share the story of a very special crab that lived in the ocean. It was said that is crab was very smart and very nimble. That there was no trap devised that it could not get out of. 

Yet, thousands of these crabs were caught each year. They were caught not because they were unable to escape on their own. They were caught because their associations held them back. Have you ever felt like your associations held you back?

 

My suggestion to you is find new associates. Get new leads. Go to places you haven't gone before. Success requires change. It requires changes on the inside and on the outside. When you feel like you want to quit, that's the time you really want to get busy. But you don't want to just be busy. You want to be active to the right things which will lead to your business success.

 

I hope that you enjoyed this post and found it of value. I'd loved to see your comments.

Be Encouraged !

10744088283?profile=original

There was a song I used to listen to several years back.

The words were… Be Encouraged – No Matter What’s Going On — He’ll Make it Alright by William Becton & Friends.

This past week we launched the 21 Day Encouragement Campaign. For 21 days you will hear from men and women of faith that have gone from victim to VICTORIOUS! They will share how they survived and what encouraged them to keep going. To sign up for the 21 day series click here.

The word of God tells us that “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging” (Psalms 46:1-3)

Do you believe that? We read the words in the bible, we jump, shout and get all “emotional” but do we really believe that GOD is an ever present help in the time of trouble.

If we were completely honest, most of us would say No. That doesn’t make you “unsaved” or a bad person. It makes you human. There is a story in the bible where a father brought his son to Jesus to be healed. Click here to finish

Networking

African Entrepreneurs Network understands that all businesses are not created equal. Therefore, we created a network designed to help all level of businesses. Small businesses in general do require exposure in order to be successful. Companies pay a lot of money to get in front of millions of consumers because they recognize that marketing is required in order to generate revenue. Television commercials account for most of the advertising of goods and services, and they have proven to be very successful. Magazines, likewise, are successful in their own rights; they also have a share in the market of advertising. The more popular the magazine, the more the likelihood for a certain ad to be properly circulated. Now there is the Internet, the information super highway, where traffic is mind boggling. What better medium for one to advertise and reach a very large percentage of the population.Then, there is also the cost of an ad. Advertising can be expensive if you advertise on television and the popular magazines. However, the Internet can also give you the same exposure if you advertise in the right forum. African Entrepreneurs Network encourages its members to advertise because it works. Anyone who wants to be successful in business is going to require some exposure. The network and its members also create a community of business owners who share ideas and also advertise their businesses at low cost. There is referral marketing within the community and the members support one another's business. African Entrepreneurs Network has created a "Shopping Mall" of businesses that is visited and supported by the members of the network.Congratulations to all who have taken the initial step of business ownership, and is presently sitting in the driver's seat. Now is the time to put on your navigation system to direct you to your destination. With that we welcome you to the African Entrepreneurs Network where your small business ownership dreams will be realized with the assistance of our advisors, counselors, and our network members.Ola AkinsanyaCEO and Founder of African Entrepreneurs Networkhttp://africanceos.ning.comhttp://africanentrepreneur.net
