Don't see obstacles- - Profit Pointers=?ISO-8859-1?B?gSA=?= Curriculum, Issue 17

I’m in Oklahoma this week, along with other speakers to address 15 business women from Rwanda, with our personal success stories.

The first speaker was a female two star Navy General
– one of only 5 in the nation. She was born to poor parents, no running water, no hope of success at school, but nothing stopped her. She was turned down for promotion often in favor of men, but never stopped applying.

The second was a poor girl from Oklahoma, who grew up with no indoor plumbing. Her first business burned down, but she was back up and running within 24 hours. She rose to run an organization of 600,000 business women and was later asked by the US President to head the United States Mint.

The third was a 27 year old multi-millionaire, born to an immigrant mother into a 2 bedroom townhouse filled with 20 immigrants who slept on floors in sleeping bags. Five years ago she came out of the military, started a business involving government contracts. She uses women, minorities, and disabled vets – and in 5 years has gone from a one woman band to 150 employees and a multi-million dollar business.

What do they all have in common?

They don’t stop at obstacles! You may remember a chart I put in my books called overcoming obstacles. Imagine your goal in the distance. Now imagine some boxes stacked up between you and the goal. Those boxes represent obstacles. The achievement of almost every goal in life will encounter obstacles. Your job is simply this - to decide how you will overcome it.

You have these three simple choices:

1. Will go over the obstacle?
2. Will go under the obstacle?
3. Will go through the obstacle?

It’s that easy!

Remember, profit comes from overcoming obstacles. If we want profit, it’s our job to make sure we let ourselves be blocked by obstacles.
