To Succeed In Business By Breaking All The
Rules, and he talked about being willing to do what
others aren't willing to do in order to reach your
goals.
Kennedy talked about a sales job he took early on
where he agreed to work for no base salary and
he'd pay his own expenses if they'd give him a
chance.
He was willing to do what others weren't and he
got the job.
When I graduated from college I applied for over
30 volunteer (yes, volunteer) baseball coaching
jobs at D-I schools where I could go get my
Master's Degree.
Not even one interview.
So instead of giving up I kept pushing and applying
for jobs, when the school I'd just graduated from
suddenly had an opening for the head coaching
position.
I got the job...but it paid $3000 a year.
So I took several other side jobs to pay the bills.
And went to grad school...a 2 hour commute each
way;)
But by being willing to do and having success, the
school eventually created a full-time job for me
that allowed me to be the strength coach, baseball
coach and teach.
I went through the same type of thing again when
we started our first businesses...Holly, Tyler and
I we're willing to live in a basement for a year to
save mo.ney and get our businesses off the ground.
I'm not saying you need to take a job that pays
almost nothing or live in a basement to achieve
success - but I don't know anyone who hasn't
had to 'pay' something.
When I coached, the price was being broke,
several jobs and a REALLY long commute to
grad school.
When we started our businesses, it was monetary
sacrifices and long hours since we didn't have
much of any start-up capital.
Now it's business education...I want to keep
growing and the quickest path for that is learning
from those who've already done what I want to do.
So if you have some goals that you've set - go
ahead and figure out the cost of achieving them
and decide if you're willing to pay the price.
I've always found that after paying the price it
turned out to be a bargain. I think you will too.
Dedicated to growing your business,
