that subscribe button turn bell notifications on so you never miss a new
video all right so let's talk about building a business and this video is
gonna be kind of more of a mind set on what you need to do what you need to
prepare for while you're building your business I've been working with my
online business for the last three years now it'll be three years in August and
it is April 10th right now and I can tell you going through all the struggles
all the BS everything that I've had to go through
is I'd go through it all again plus more I just would because it's worth it so
I'm gonna do this from the perspective that I can that's doing it around the
family when I started the business will in one child at the time she was an
inventor obviously I was married we have two kids
now but this is gonna be different for you if you're doing it around your
family first is like if you're single so I can only really share my experience
with you and hopefully you can take something from that
and apply it to whatever scenario your your you're with but drop me the
comments below and let me know what is the biggest challenge you are facing
right now starting your own business alright so I have what six points here
that I'm I'm gonna run off and go through with you and these are just kind
of looking back over the last two and a half three years of building my own
businesses or some of the things that I think really helped me stay focused
mentally when I faced challenges it reminded me of what I was doing and
helped me overcome them and yeah so let's kind of just dive into it and the
very first point it's sell yourself on what you want
you know I specifically remember watching you know videos of people who I
started following in the beginning watching them talk from their penthouse
or you know whatever the case is drive the car or whoever you're following
right now you're you're probably watching somebody and there's something
about them that you admire that you're like oh man like I'd like that whether
it's like you know maybe it's like the freedom that they have to kind of work
and do their thing maybe that's just because they have a YouTube channel and
like you think that's cool or maybe it's it's a car or they're traveling a lot or
the house or whatever the case is you want to think okay that's cool I want
that and that was one of the number one things that I kept telling myself over
and over again and I sold myself on that it's like man if that person is doing it
I can totally figure this thing out as well and that's how I sold myself on it
now the second thing it's sell your spouse on what you're doing
if you're by yourself you're single skip this point but this is so key because
you know you know Mariana was a big support system and there were a ton of
sacrifices we've kind of done some videos together and we've talked about
some of the sacrifices we had to make but you know like I missed I missed
family gatherings I missed pretty much as much church as I
possibly was a lot to get out of and you know I missed a lot of a lot of stuff
because I was filming videos because I was working on the business because I
was giving us a future I was fighting for the family so to speak but I kept
Mariana in the loop and you have to keep your spouse in the loop let them know
what you're working towards how close you are with the progress you're making
and now this is actually exactly sub-point I don't really talk about the
challenges that I face you know I don't really tell Mariana about that stuff
but I do talk about the all the positive things and everything because
I want her to see the positive side of the business if that makes sense and I think it's
important that your spouse sees the positive side of the business she
doesn't have to see every hate you get or whatever the case is right I'm sure
she knows there's hate and yeah she does but you know some of the weird things
that go on and everything that come with having a channel and you know being in
the position that I'm in of course she knows about that but it's like it's not
something we talked about it's Russia of the rug or whatever the case is but
going back to you have to sell your spouse on it because they're gonna have
such an important part in picking up the slack like she's picked up all all the
slack with you know taking care of the kids and yeah you know just you know
telling her family why I'm not there or whatever the case is she's had to pick
up all of that so you know I think that's just once you've sold yourself
you have to your spouse and you know yeah so we're
gonna do some more videos so make sure you check out those playlists you know
if you want to kind of hear more from our spouse protects perspective side of
things number three is accept these truths okay here here are the truths
that you have to accept and these are the truths I actually wrote them down in
my journal when I was starting the business because I was telling myself
one it's gonna take longer than I'm expecting it to take it was true it's
gonna be harder than I think that was true there's gonna be bigger challenges
than you can imagine holy shit never could have seen those
coming but it was true and it's gonna cost more up for capital than you
prepare for I think that was true too uh it's probably like that's probably the
lesser of all of those but all of those things you have to prepare for you know
it's gonna be harder it's gonna take longer it's you're gonna face bigger
challenges thing then you can really prepare for once you accept those
upfront it's so much easier to deal with them in the actual time okay number four
is be ready to fail and know how you're gonna handle it it's gonna happen it's
not gonna last forever you know when I think about my business and I do a
couple different things I I do Publishing and in different things on
Amazon I have courses and products and things like that
coaching consulting hey you know when I think about failing you know I guess I
could relate it to books you know within the publishing side of the business you
know investing here a couple hundred dollars into a book yeah a couple
hundred like six seven hundred dollars in a book and then it flopping I mean
just not taking off because this didn't work or whatever the case is and just
understanding that yeah sometimes it's just not gonna work the way you want it
and you know I remember the first three books that published they just didn't
really take off they just didn't really get going it happens right and it's just
knowing how to handle that and then just keep moving forward
I don't really count mistakes as failures I'm talking like Matt oh yeah
yeah I invested like $2,000 into this program and it just didn't work but it
wasn't the program stall it was my fault I thought I could I could get it going
but it required a lot more work than I initially applied for a thought for so I
just had to cut it as loss of about two thousand dollars number 5 is commit for
12 to 18 months commit for 12 to 18 months you can't start a business and
expect it to get going in the next six months it'll like start moving in the
next six months but it's not replacing your job in the next six months
most likely sometimes but most likely it's not so commit for 12 to 18 months I
used to say just commit this wall when I started I said twelve months I'm gonna
give this everything I can if I'm not making money in twelve months yeah I go
open a taco stand here in Mexico but
luckily figured it out and I didn't have to start serving tacos I say eighteen
months because one of my students it took him 18 months 16 to 18 months to
finally get it going and but now he's doing close to $20,000 a month and if he
had only given it 14 months and you know that would just that would suck right
because then he wouldn't be he wouldn't be living life life he's living now so
you got to give yourself a fair amount of time number six is never lose sight
on what you're working the words this is the most important one never lose sight
on what you're working towards this one of the reasons I go test-drive nice you
know cars that I want to buy I've done videos in the Porsches that
I've taken that around here in Mara and you know I do that because that reminds
me of what I'm working towards the lifestyle I want you know
Mariana loves watching those dream home or amazing home type of shows because
you know in her mind she's she's picturing she's like she writes to us I
know we have to have this up better and work this type of you know patio and and
whatnot she's like building the dream house in her own mind type of thing and
so she's watching those so she could see motivated right you know so whatever it
is for you like if it's you know maybe you're big in the travel like you know
get travel magazines all right throw the pictures up in the wall you know
whatever the case is you know maybe if if it's like something you like you want
to go to Greece then maybe start going to a Greek restaurant once a week and
start eating out there once a week remind yourself what you're working
towards that is the most powerful thing you can do you know on the whiteboard
inside yeah I got I got the picture of the Range Rover right not aa
picture it's like to the spec that I wanted it
fun when you're going through and you're
reminding yourself of what you're working towards be as real and as
detailed as possible there's no sugarcoating this this is this is the
most important thing you can be doing this is your life this is your goals
these are your dreams you're talking about so you have to know exactly what
it is that you want and I think once you realize exactly what it is that you want
there is not a challenge there is not a person there's not a mountain that will
stand in your way from allowing you to accomplish that you just have to know
what you want and want it bad enough so in the end it is worth all headaches and
everything that you have to go through because I know for myself I can give you
know Maryanne and the family the lifestyle that they want though I saw
that they deserve and you know and that's really what it's it's all about
so yeah let me know what your less solace what it is that you're working
towards what's the thing that's pulling you through some of the more challenging
times that we all face as you know online entrepreneurs or whatever you
want to call us here but yeah I'd love to know let's connect down below until
next time everybody, I'm Emeka. Speak to you soon, take care
