Your ego can possibly get in the way of achieving your goals, success in business or whatever you want out of life!
Been striving all your life?
It’s been pumped into us for years that we must think big to become successful in life!
So there we’ve been working your heart out, trying so hard to be successful, and nothing special happened. And perhaps still struggling at the age of 60 or 75!
Why? You did all you could to make it happen! What got in the way?
You did it alone!
There are so many reasons why people do it alone. But basically:
- You couldn’t afford to pay someone to work for you. You didn’t have capital to set up your business, or for advertising.
- You were overwhelmed, scared to venture out. You didn’t know how to set up a business. And afraid of any trouble that could perhaps occur, in the process of running the business.
Let’s face it…
You can’t do it alone:
Think about it:
- Even if you did set up the business… you’ll need customers!
- You only got so far up to now, because some people believed in you and your product or talent.
Your ego can only be so big:
You can be a fantastic artist, for instance. You know you’re painting the most exciting paintings and your family thinks you’re the greatest artist ever. But your paintings aren’t selling. The problem is; there aren’t enough people recognizing your talent.
If you had experienced some success so far:
- Did you stop to think who was supporting you up to that point?
- Your business didn’t grow because of you. In fact it was the labour which supported you.
- Did you also realize that God was silently backing and assisting you up till now?
That’s when humility kicks in and confidence sinks in. You begin to understand your skills can only go so far. If you want your business to go BIG time, you better…
Get effective staff:
- To make your business grow, learn from the wise and successful. And get highly skilled people to work for/with you.
- And having got so far, your confidence has grown somewhat. Now you realize you can handle the `big boys’. . People even more talented than you, doing things you can’t do.
Passing shot:
- That means we need each other! If we work as a team, we’ll be more successful.
- If we are more friendly and helpful, we’ll have more connections. When a crowd is cohesive, greater things are achieved.
