It is true that opportunities and chances don’t last very long, but it is also true that there will always be new opportunities and chances for you to take action.
However, while real entrepreneurs aim for long-term results, most people want instant results and therefore, they look for ways that will make them fast money known as the “get-rich-quick-scheme”…
And this is where they get it all wrong because there is no such thing as “get-rich-quick” unless you won the lottery. And if there is, it could be a fraud scheme based on own my experiences.
If you think being an entrepreneur is risky, try working for someone else for 40 years. – Warren Buffett
So again, you have to look for opportunities that will allow you to have a long-term outcome and not instant results because you might be looking into an illegal scheme and if it does exist, it won’t last because again, most of the time it is a fraud.
Real success takes time like years, not overnight!
PRO-TIP: Don’t let the toxic mixture of fear and laziness fuck with your goals, ambition and productivity.
But first of all, here’s how to know if you’ll be an entrepreneur in the future;
- You can’t have a boss.
- You’re highly ambitious
- You get bored easily
- You want freedom
- You’re too creative
- You have a “nothing to lose” mentality
If all of these are checked, then now let me share with you some of the things that you should know!
Part 1 – What You Need to Do to Look For Opportunities in Business?
The very first step you must know is that success is about more than just “making money”.
Most people get into business for only that reason, and in most cases about 99% of the time, they fail and actually lose all of their money…
To me, it is mostly all about passion to want to make a difference in the lives of people or to make the world a better place!
Stop creating a life that you need a vacation from. Instead move to where you want to live, do what you want to do, start what you want to start and create the life you want today. This isn’t rehearsal people. This is YOUR life. – Dale Patridge
However, I can’t tell you exactly what type of opportunity to look for or what type of business to get into since ONLY you know what you’re truly passionate about, and that could be anything!
Just so you know, you first don’t have to be an “expert” or “talented” but only need an idea, but mostly need to have the alpha motivational confident mentality of a successful person and are willing to put in massive hours until you achieve success.
Life is about evolving. Don’t stay in a situation that’s not helping you grow mentally, spiritually, and emotionally.
That means failing, giving up, and quitting is not an option, and you will do whatever it takes to succeed regardless of any challenges or whatever.
Persistence is key!
You need that 100% confidence with an unbreakable faith (certainly) that this will work or you will find a way and that you don’t care about anyone else’s opinion!
And when you get into business with this type of mentality of a true entrepreneur, then you’ll notice that “money” is not a big deal but of course, as you get into making that business become a success, the money will follow as a by-product and you’ll earn a lot of money over time.
Now don’t expect instant results, where it could take at least 6 months to notice anything based on my own experiences.
I don’t have the time but I made time. I didn’t have the knowledge but I kept learning and did what I knew. I didn’t have support but I learned to support myself. I didn’t have the confidence but the confidence came with results. I have a lot going against me but I had enough going for me. I have plenty of excuses but I chose not to use any of them.
Sure, it could come faster than that but in most cases, it does take time and if you don’t quit or give up, then sooner or later, the results MUST come to you at all costs.
It just has to since it is the law of the universe known as the Law of Attraction!
But in order to look for the right opportunities in business, you must look into the long-term and I’m talking about at least 5-10 years from now.
Imagine that business in 10 years from today’s date, will you still have it? Will you still look forward to achieving more success than ever? Are you willing to keep taking action as if you were today?
That’s the kind of questions you have to ask yourself!
Every successful person has a painful story. Every painful story had a successful ending. Accept the pain and get ready for success.
And if the answer is a NO, then don’t do it because you’re most likely going to give up and not willing to invest and put in the hours needed, and so on…
But if the answer is a YES which you can see yourself working hard in 10 years from now, then go ahead and take the risk and go for the chance since you would not regret it!
Just so you know, the 1% of the population who are the highest successful people in the world have always looked for long-term results because they know that the long-term is where the wealth/fortune exists.
You have sole ownership of your vision. And the Universe will give you what you want within your vision. What happens with most people is that they muddy their vision with “reality”, Their vision becomes full of not only what they want but what everybody else thinks about what they want, too. Your work is to clarify and purify your vision so that the vibration that you are offering can then be answered. – Esther Hicks

Part 2 – How to Take Action When You Find the Opportunity/Business You Want?
This is what a lot of people are not willing to do, which is to take action and put in massive amounts of hours in that business/opportunity.
It is true that your life right now is a result of what you did a year ago. And your life a year from now will be a result of what you do today, right now in the present moment.
And that is why it is super important to act accordingly, but I’m not only saying to take small action with little steps but big action like you’re willing to put as many hours necessary to make that business as successful as it can be.
Everyone is ready to win, but only a few are prepared.
This means, even if you already do have a job known as ‘Just Over Broke’, you can still put in a lot of hours and that is if you get out of work at 5 pm, then you have the rest of the day to hustle but most importantly to learn since the more you learn, the more you earn!
But remember, you just have to take action on that new opportunity that you see, or what your intuition is telling you to go for…
That means, go home and work your butt off which is also known as a ‘side hustle’!
Don’t go home to watch tv/Netflix and hang around and put in an hour only or so and expect your new opportunity/business to become a success…
No, it would never work like that!
Set a goal that makes you want to jump out of bed in the morning.
Just so you know, the Universe/Source/God does not give big rewards to someone who is just “good” at what they’re doing, but mostly to a person who’s great at what they do will always have more than enough!
Look around at the most successful athletes, businessmen, etc, they all had to put in massive amounts of workflow to be where they’re currently at!
For example;
Floyd Mayweather, Conor McGregor, Cristiano Ronaldo, etc all of them do practice a lot on a daily basis and I’m talking about years of hard work to become a success!
Never be satisfied, always look for improvements. Life is about getting better every single day.
Successful actors had many acting classes, singers also been practicing singing since an early age, and basically every other successful person in this world!
Me, there was a time that I was waking up at 4 am and starting work at 5 am for every single day all the way to 8-9 pm and basically did every possible thing to be successful.
And guess what?
I am still putting in a lot of hours, nothing has changed because I am passionate about what I do and I love it so much that it doesn’t even feel like “work” but a hobby to me that I truly enjoy!
Of course, in today’s date and age, I don’t work as hard as I did like including Saturdays and Sundays, but on the weekdays and every other day, I’m up at 5 am, and do what I do early in the morning and start workflow at 7:30 am and stop at 5 pm!
The rest is history…
There’s no talent here, this is hard work. This is an obsession. Talent doesn’t not “exist”, we are all human beings. You could be anyone if you put in the time. You will reach the top, and that’s that. I am not talented, I am obsessed. – Conor McGregor (UFC Champion)
So in my opinion, look for ways to be GREAT and do your all-time best and the only way is through repetition by working extremely hard, then life itself will reward you big time.
Don’t get addicted to comfort. If you allow yourself to stay in your comfort zone, it acts like a drug & you become addicted to it. Many people actually fail to realize their purpose & passion all because they let comfort get the best of them. IF YOU WANT SUCCESS, GET OUT OF THE COMFORT ZONE NOW!
Part 3 – How to Have the Mindset of a True Entrepreneur?
Now, this last part should actually be the #1 part or maybe the second part of this post!
But I refused it for many reasons and I’m going to tell you why.
Yes, our mentality and mindset have to be on top-notch when being an entrepreneur but a lot of people get this wrong because even if you have a successful mindset, you still have to put in those hours of workflow!
You can’t just sit around with a positive mentality and expect success to come by without you doing anything… Nope, it just won’t work!
For a fact, a lot of people are doing that and waiting for something to happen, which it will never unless you take your butt off the couch.
So that is why this part is 3rd in my list!
Imagine your mind like a garden and your thoughts are the seeds. You get to choose what seeds you plant in your garden. You can plant seeds of positivity, love and abundance. Or you can plant seeds of negativity, fear and shame. You can spend time trying to take care of everyone’s garden. Or you can work on making yours beautiful and attract other beautiful people into your garden. What seeds are you planting?
But the truth is that the only way that this will work is if you already have a successful business or have several investments and get passive income while you sleep, meaning you don’t have to be there at the business to earn money.
Which that is called financial freedom!
The stock market is a device for transferring money from the impatient to the patient. – Warren Buffett
Can you see what I’m saying here?
That means you could just sit around and see all the passive money coming in from every direction effortlessly, unexpectedly, and expectedly!
However, you should always raise the bar higher regardless of how much money you can make, and each time you reach a milestone, always keep doing what you’re doing by working extremely hard to conquer another goal!
And that is because you never know how much more you can achieve…
So this is where your mentality comes into play! It is you and your mindset that put a limit to something or even look at the number as a small number or a big number!
If you have been brought up to believe that being wealthy is not spiritual, then I highly recommend you read the Millionaire of the Bible Series by Catherine Ponder. In these glorious books you will discover that Abraham, Issac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, and Jesus were not only prosperity teachers, but also millionaires themselves, with more affluent lifestyles than many present-day millionaires could conceive of. – The Secret
I mean, one of the greatest investors of all time that I look up to, Warren Buffet (billionaire) once said in an interview that “$462 million is not much money“…
Yes, that’s the type of growth mindset that you also need for success and wealth!
Wealth flows from energy and ideas.
But I’m not talking about just in terms of limiting money, but overall growth mentality!
The growth/creator mindset that you need is to;
- Be motivated, inspired, and passionate about what you’re doing
- ACT like a successful entrepreneur regardless if you’re not now
- Have gratitude feelings, thoughts, and beliefs on a daily basis
- Look forward to more results and don’t accept any other option
- Be a leader in all areas of your life who embraces challenges
- Take responsibility for everything including all of your choices
- Build healthy habits/behaviors and have a healthy routine
- Don’t try to compete or compare with anyone but do your best
- Not living off that survival/victimize selfness or victim life
- Of course, have a patient mindset – Calm/relaxed through meditation
- Look forward to ONLY helping out people/customers – Not the opposite
- See ONLY the good side of all things to make great decisions
- Look for ways to always learn something new – Knowledge is power
- Embrace challenges, failures, risks/chances since it’s part of the success
- Follow the Law of Attraction to achieve faster successes
- Open your third-eye, connect with your higher-self to follow intuition
- Be creative and open-minded – Look outside the box all the time
- Giving up, quitting, or not wanting to work is NOT an option
- Expect ONLY the good things – Think of ONLY what you want
- Give back to the Universe by either money (donation) or value
- Work extremely hard – Put in all those hours/months of work, etc
You gotta step out of your comfort zone, be broke for a while. Lose some friends. Have some sleepless nights. Most people don’t get it though.
Now, these are not all of them, but as you move on in life, you’ll figure it out and get it right!
Therefore, this is the type of mentality and mindset that most entrepreneur has and is also needed to gain massive success in business.
Don’t give up, life can go from 0 to 100 real quick.
But of course, you need to be patient since it could take months to years to actually see a great number of results based on my experiences.
If you don’t know, Coca-Cola made only about $1,000 in their first year back in the day, but look at where it’s at today, which is probably the first or second most consumed beverage drink in today’s date and age.
As you can clearly see, success needs time, bro!
At the end of the day, remind yourself that you did the best you could today, and that is good enough. – Lori Deschene

Bottom Line Conclusion of Entrepreneurship
So get those 3 parts right and you’re on your way to making that opportunity or business in the right direction for success!
Other than that, if you miss either part of what I mentioned above, then you’ll be looking to fail.
I mean, someone else’s concept could be different from mine here, but this is what worked for me for the past decade to be successful!
Hard work puts you where good luck can find you.
So here are six things mentally strong people do;
- They move on. They don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves.
- They embrace change. They welcome challenges.
- They stay happy. They don’t waste energy on things they can’t control.
- They are kind, fair, and unfair to speak up.
- They are willing to take calculated risks.
- They celebrate other people’s success. They don’t resent that success.
That means if you miss part 3, which is the mindset, then you’ll only work extremely hard but not get the results you want like the rest of the population because success is actually 80% mindset, 20% strategy.
And again, if you miss part 2 which is taking massive action, then nothing will happen and you won’t move any further in life unless you already have a successful business or investments.
No matter what your current circumstances are, if you can imagine something better for yourself, you can create it.
Of course, part 1 is truly the most important part based on my experience because passion is everything and you must aim for long-term results, not instant success known as “get-rich-quick-scheme” since those literally don’t even exist!
The strongest people aren’t always the people who win, but the people who don’t give up when they lose.
Now if you don’t like what you’re doing, then success or prosperity will not come to you! It only comes to those who love it and is great at what they’re doing.
Which also means, I don’t believe in the “chase money” phase because the moment you chase something, that means it’s running away from you.
Always remember that the future comes one day at a time. – Dean Acheson
What I believe is that money is most likely attracted, not pursued!
And here are some goals that you should look into before the age of 30;
- Wake up early every day.
- Exercise for 1 hour every day.
- Read 2 books/month.
- Pay off all debt.
- Start your own business.
- Save at least $1k per month.
- Make money work for you.
- Become a millionaire.
Becoming Rich is like a game. It involves knowledge, strategy, foresight, patience, and discipline. So…. If you want to get rich, get good at playing the game.
Not to mention, taking opportunities can also include when you see an opportunity to have a conversation with the person of your interest!
And just imagine you and this person get along after you had taken action at the right time to get to know them and both of you come home and you put your hands in a male enhancement topical gel to boost your sexual experience!
That’s right, a good fast-acting lubricant formula like this one here will do magic during sex since it increases satisfaction for stronger erections, pleasure due to powerful orgasms, and overall better enjoyment than ever!
Not to mention, an effective male enhancement lube is also important when performing penile exercises, especially for the growth of the penis size.
I’m sure you had a great opportunity that you missed before, correct? Everyone has and especially with women, I have lost some of the top hottest girls for the reason that I did not take action immediately to talk to them. So what was the opportunity that you regret missing in your life? Feel free to comment below!
