Sometimes life situations force us to have to decide whether to work our business or go to school with the the goal of improving ourselves.
For instance, someone asked whether they should go back to school so that they could be better at doing their business, or get right into the business and start to work.
I don’t have an answer because, it depends.
What I will say though, is that school could be in different forms.
If you have set up a business that needs your attention, then going to school during the day may not be an option.
There is a way you can go to school at night while you do your business during the day.
That school could be youtube.
Research your topic on youtube and then see how others successfully managed the lessons you have to learn.
This situation reminds me one of my mentors, Jim Rohn who said: “Formal education will make you a living; self education will make you a fortune.”
So, school for you does not have to be formal in nature.
When you learn what you need to do and then do it well, you put yourself in the driver’s seat of your business.
There are many ways to learn what you need for success.
Collaborating with mentors from among the successful people in your neighborhood is another way you can learn from others.
The thing about education is that you can get it any where these days.
There are books you can read without you having to step into a school.
So, it is up to you whether you want to get a formal education or you want to be successful in business.
There are some people who have the means to do both.
If that is you then go for it.
For those who have to make a choice, then self education could be your path forward.
What if there is a business where you could learn from the experiences of the successful people in the business?
Then, the learning would be automatic since all you have to do and learn is there for you to see and check out.
There are sessions where you learn every strategy that is used to create success and they are available for you to review and study.
You can apply winning methods and strategies to your business and learn how to become successful.
Would such a system help you, if it exists?
Well, it does.

- Don’t let fear of failure stop you from greatness Fear of failure is a big hurdle to overcome for many of us, but what we must always do is take action anyway. It is only with action that we get to the prize of success.
One thing you learn when you play any game is that you cannot win all the games.
Even the very best of the winners lose, ask Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods or Serena Williams.
But one thing they always do is play the game because they know, you can’t win if you don’t play.
The same is true for all games: chess, basketball, soccer, any game.
And in baseball, you cannot get a home run if you do not take the chance and play the game.
The beauty, the fun, the excitement is to see how you can beat fate and score the goal in soccer or hit the home run in baseball.
You can hit a home run just as easily as you can strikeout.
So, if you love home runs, you must love strike outs too.
In soccer you can’t score a goal if you are not in the game and it is the same thing with basketball.
Don’t let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game and hitting the home runs of your life.
In addition, no body but you counts the strikeouts.
The audience, the media, the management, they are looking for the home runs.
And they are what you should be looking for in your business as well.
The crowds love spectacular plays and fantastic goals in the game.
Meeting your daily action steps are the exciting plays you make on the way to your eventual success.
Communicating with your leads constitute great plays that can lead to big scores.
And making a sale…that is the big one, the very reason why you are doing what you do.
But before you hit the big score, you will have to deal with the downs, the setbacks, the disappointments.
You are going to miss your shot, many times too.
You are going to miss an appointment or a commitment.
Don’t spend time moping and crying.
Life happens, so you buckle on your big girl or boy vest and you get back into doing what you know will take you to victory in the end.
You are a professional now, in the big leagues.
When you strikeout it is time to get excited.
You know that you are closer to your home run.
When you miss a shot, you know that given another chance you can beat the goalkeeper and score.
Get back to hitting your daily goals or whatever you did not hit.
When you do, you focus on going after the successes, and like everyone else, not looking at the strike outs.
How many home runs are you going for today?
Don’t let the fear of failure take you away from the game.
Winning is only possible inside the game.
Commit to be the best at what you do always.
That is the secret to success… you play the game, and you play to win.
You must look only at how to get to the successes, the home runs, the goals.
