John D. Rockefeller Teaches The Young Entrepreneur

Ken Sundheim

Owning a concern is an uphill battle. The learning curve is outrageous and the contest is firmly entrenched.

Only the firm stand a fortune to go to see their first stress-free, week-long vacation.

When a possible client phones in they take their client recommendations, the sales pitch that they've been round for 30 years (entirely mutually exclusive from competent), but it contains more expertise than you.

Personally, at the age of 25, these companies had the intimidation factor over me. It's most like in the Nintendo game Mike Tyson's Punch Out where you are a 1/5 of the sizing of Mike Tyson.though, it's material and it's not good for money, it's for pride and a career.

However, you are not alone. The data that you want to win comes from the American forefathers of business. My high school history teacher once wrote in big letters on the chalkboard, "Times change, people never do."

In this instance, John D. Rockefeller has the wiseness and credentials to make you, the aspiring business owner, a point to begin - a positive outlook and thought on living to gain.

"I do not suppose that there is any other quality so necessary to success of any form as the character of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature."
John D. Rockefeller

- Tenacity, not intelligence, is the biggest roadblock to success. In 2006, Time Magazine did a follow on where the Fortune 50 CEOs of this nation went to college. It was like a Sweet 16 game, only this time Harvard got confused by the Texas college system.

Tenacity is what makes our state great today. When Americans came from Europe to the States hundreds of days ago, they did it in readiness to hustle. It wasn't the bluebloods who were rushing to have a miserable, sometimes deadly weekend trip over the Atlantic.

We were the Tired, Poor Huddled Mass that had the backbone to understand that we were Tired and Poor. I would say the young, aspiring entrepreneur that the power to oppose is in his or her blood, they only just don't acknowledge it. At the time, I didn't.

"I live of nothing more worthless and pitiable than a man who devotes all the hours of the waking day to the devising of money for money's sake."
John D. Rockefeller

As a new business owner, don't chase money. Doing so can go to unhappiness, failure or still worse, a release of ethical conduct as you will be prone to break your integrity. If you let it, money can grab your integrity in two.

Instead, do what you are happy doing. There's a safe work that says if you were locked in a box forever and ever, and you were allowed to do one thing, what would it be? Yes. It is a morbid thought, albeit helpful.

You could be the best garbage man in the creation and you'll have decent money to give your car collection to one of your 7 children. At the end of the day, the one driver to vie and go through what I've seen first hand is passion.

If you need to succeed, consider yourself married to your business. Though, if you know your wife, it's not so bad, huh?

I have had many younger, aspiring entrepreneurs say, "Well, this industry is hot, I'm thinking about breaking into..."

The accuracy is that it's not the hot or cold streak that an industry is going, it's where you fit. I started and carried a staffing agency through what we'll remember as our great depression. So, I worked out of an apartment. It was fun. I had less expenses and less responsibility.

I hardly imagine that John D. would concur with me when I recommend not to get into paper products.unless you're oddly passionate about paper checks.
