A massage entrepreneur’s journey to becoming a millionaire.

Posted by inmyhands on August 17, 2007

One of the things I learned about being successful is that you need to take action. Unfortunately it wasn’t one of the first, or I’d be a lot further along then I am. If you read any of the newsletters/posts of the of the Internet gurus they’ll all advise the same thing. Taking action is the key. If you’re not satisfied with your income (And just why was it you wanted to be an entrepreneur in the first place?) you need to start doing things to improve and grow your business.

If you read lots of books & newsletters, buy lots of stuff on line, attend bootcamps and whatever,and you don’t take action;  you’re just wasting your time, effort and money and you’re not accomplishing anything.  Taking action means you need to do something every day to grow your business. In other words, if you want to be a millionaire, you gotta take action. There is no success without action. That applies equally whether you’re an on site massage  practitioner like myself, a massage therapist, or any other type of business owner, online or off.

Wat I do is take about an hour every morning (or most mornings) choose on activity and focus on doing. For example, this morning I added a sales page and updated my landing page head and sub head lines. Another morning, I might write an article. Even if I only get 1 or 2 paragraphs done, I’ve taken action. It doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be. One of my favourite lines about taking action is from Michael Masterson over at Early to Rise. (great free newsletter, probably the one of the Internet’s most popular newsletter & always an informative read: their Heath, Wealth and Success E-Zine at http://www.earlytorise.com )

The line: “Ready, Fire, Aim.”  Take action, any action, just do something to build your business and you can improve on it later. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just get something accomplished, & get it out there. People won’t find you if you don’t, & if they do find you, if you have nothing new or unique to offer, they’ll just be on their way.
