Copyright 2005 Wayne McDonaldPractically every business article I come across talks about number crunching. Everything is broken down into ROI (rate of return), the value of each customer and the number of customers per month.Unfortunately, the most important factor left out of all these formulas is you --- the business person. If you have a poverty mentality or a fear of not having enough, then you will restrict the flow of income.As my friend Ida says, "Money is Easy." Creating more income or abundance in our lives is t

I learned in first grade that one plus one equals two. But, that's not the right equation when counting work experience. We often think we're building experience to help us get ahead. In reality, we're passing time. Ten years working like a cloned Bill Murray in Groundhog Day is not ten years worth of experience. Doing the same thing again and again yields an experience formula more like: ten times one equals one.t takes to achieve it?

What opportunities can you act upon? Woolworth saw a need for small inexpensive items and opened the chain of stores that grossed billions. Wrigley started giving gum away as a bonus, and seized the chance to expand worldwide.
You must create a uniqueness to your product or service. What can you offer that no one else can offer? Is it a better warranty, improved customer service, more technical support, faster shipping, or lower price? Think of something that will set you apart from your competitors and describe in detail exactly what it is.
2. Be good at what you do.
Are you as good as, or better than, the next guy when it comes to producing/marketing your product or service? This element requires an honest self-assessment. "What are my abilities?" To determine your abilities you must take an honest inventory of yourself. Examine every possibility and be sure to include strengths and weaknesses. Will your strong points be able to let you overcome your deficits?
3. Have true passion for the business.
If there is one element you absolutely cannot do without, it is passion. Passion is an irresistible attitudinal energy that generates power. Do you have a passion for working with your particular product or service? Notice, I didn't say "do you like what you want to do?" There are too many competitors out there who are ready, willing and able to "eat your lunch" when it comes to competing with you. They may have found the same niche that you have found. They may like what they do as much as you do. But what separates the winners from the losers is passion.
