Believe in Your Home Business
October 13, 2007 by Mary Emma Allen
As I read Darlene McDaniel’s post, “Unstoppable People Don’t Believe in Failure,” at Interview Chatter, I realized this is one of the characteristics the winners of the Jump Start Your Business contest seemed to exhibit. They’re unstoppable. Their submissions indicated a belief in their business and their ability to make it work.
I have the feeling that if they encounter bumps in the road, they will keep on going.
Darlene also quoted from professional speaker and author, Jim Rohn: “If you’re not willing to risk the unusual, you have to settle for the ordinary.”
The winners took a leap forward when they entered the Jump Start Your Business contest. How many times do people say, “Oh, I won’t bother to enter. I’ll never win.” If you don’t believe in yourself enough to fill out the required entry for a competition and send it in, you will never win.
Grand Prize Winner Aime Stewart, First Runner Up Emilie Shoop and Second Runner Up Aaron Emerson took a leap and proved they’re unstoppable. May they have much success in their new businesses.
Very good post!! More people who want to have businesses should read these words!

Thanks, Darlene, for your praise and encouragement.
Great post, Mary Emma. I read recently that self belief is one of the key qualities of an entrepreneur.
Mary Emma deserves some real credit for this post. Every one of the key points she touched on was perfect. For the greater part, we are all architects of our own opportunities as well as failures. Drive deep and your winning curve goes right up! In order to make great things happen you have to get yourself to do stuff. An average approach no longer works. Always strive for improvement, believe in yourself, challenge yourself at every level, and the upside will be huge!
Thanks, Yvonne, for adding your thoughts. It’s important to believe in yourself as well as your home business idea. I guess one is almost an extension of the other.
Pleased you stopped by “Q-bicle” and added your insights here. Thanks for the compliment about my post. Glad you liked it.
