Determine Your Success

Love them or loathe them, politics in every country across the world are followed closely by millions of people. The UK has just had a general election and US President Trump has just been impeached!

But this last article isn’t about the value (or not) of politics.

I just want to point out that as entrepreneurs and business owners we should never be looking for governments or anyone else to shape our future.

You must be the conductor of your own orchestra. In other words, you should be working to build a business that doesn’t rely on outside forces to determine your success.

One thing’s for sure, no matter which country you reside in, the government is increasingly making it harder and harder for you to make money, with their stealth taxes and introducing legislation which cuts into your profits.

As entrepreneurs, we cannot of course rely on the government. We are (or should be) 100% in charge of our own destiny. Yes, it makes sense to make your business impregnable (as far as you can) to potential legislation changes, but your earning power is reliant on one person: YOU.

I also know it makes little difference to us who holds government because they have little effect on our businesses, irrespective of the legislation they pass during their term.

Frankly, as business owners and entrepreneurs we are in a wonderful position. We can run our companies as we choose (within the legal guidelines, of course) and as long as the government allows us to keep doing this, then we are in charge of our own destinies.

That’s ultimately what being an entrepreneur is all about. FREEDOM to make as much money as we can and live our lives as we choose.

Enjoy the privilege!
