How To Reach Your Millions…

In my time, I’ve met a lot of entrepreneurs, business owners and individuals who have made their millions.  But, there is nothing that says “loser” more than someone who can ALMOST make their millions, with nothing left to loose, decides to give it all up.

Now, we all know that being in the entrepreneurial business means taking risks, seeing what works and what doesn’t.  And, if we are on that track, there is the chance that we will get what is needed, then will loose it because of a risk that we take when we don’t have to.

But, for some losers, they don’t even have to do that.  Now, this is what I call Loser Luck.  Let’s define that… it’s when you have everything going for you, then just don’t “feel like” dealing with it anymore.

The setting and the character: A small business owner that hoped onto the wireless Internet fad in a smaller town.  The opportunity was one that could have brought him quite a fortune.  Even though the town was small, it was growing, with many who were tired of the city, building larger homes out in the area in order to settle in.  And, it’s expanding in 3 different ways towards cities.

So, this entrepreneur sets off and grows his business in about five years.  He gets a set of 4 employees to help, and basically doesn’t have to do anything, except write out the checks.

The downfall: Winter hits.  And a blizzard comes.

In the Spring, this business owner shuts down his business, sells his customer list for $500,000 and leaves to Florida.  And, from what I’ve heard, he was inches away from having a million dollar business, including expansions into different areas, and being the ‘cutting edge’ guy for the town.  But, he didn’t want to deal with the winter storms anymore.  So, instead of expanding, he sold.

So, let’s just say this.  It’s 2 years later and the company that he sold to is now in the millions with profit.  Our business owner; however, has nothing to say for himself.  Except, he re-furbished a home by the beach, and now he is going to have to sell it and try to start a business again.  Hopefully, his home won’t get hit with a hurricane.  It would make the blizzard look petty.

What definitely hits our loser business owner, though, is that he doesn’t really know what he wants to do.  He’s thinking of just going and working for someone.  Not only is he at a loss for business ideas, but also opportunity, as the area is having hard economic times and isn’t going to be growing for another… at least 50 years.

So, his year of being a beach bum has definitely not “paid off.”  And, so, we designate him into Loserville in order to enjoy the fruits of… no… not money he could have had… but instead, for finding the loser in himself.

And so we all can say…
