Build your Business Smart, not BIG

Your ideas sucks!

Give it up!

Forge’da about it!

Blah…Blah…Blah…

You’ve heard it. I’ve heard it. We’ve all heard it. You know… the sounds of the negative people trying to chop you down from attaining your dreams and goals in life. These people make it their job to do everything in their power to destroy visions and rip your dreams asunder.

Where the do these people come from?

Good question. I’d like to say that they come from the depths of hell but that wouldn’t be true. In reality, these people don’t come from anywhere but their mother’s wombs – they’re born that way.

They are born and raised to play it safe, conform to society, and protect the status quo by all means necessary. And when some happy and jolly entrepreneur comes along with big hopes and dreams to change the world, they’re all over them like sharks on blood.

So what’s an entrepreneur to do?

Easy. Just listen to them, nod your head, and move on. Makes no sense to argue with them or try to convince them that you’re on to something. These sort of people have 6 feet of titanium around their minds and nothing is going to sway them to becoming open to change – that’s something only they can do.

As an entrepreneur it’s not your job to break people’s minds into sharing your vision. Your job is to seek those who are open to change and who are willing to try new things. These are the people that you want to evangelize and become even more immersed into what you are trying to accomplish.

And…So…

Don’t build a business to satisfy the world. Build a business to satisfy a small group a people. And in a world as large as this one, “small” can amount to millions upon millions of people.

I’ve always looked at the group you’re describing and reminded myself that because they exist, I’ll always be gainfully employed :)
