CHAPTER 2 THE SUCCESS FACTORS OF MILLIONAIRE ENTREPRENEURS

I originally achieved. From training 2,000 students in
Singapore, we now train over 36,000 annually through the
school’s programs.

So again, I want to emphasize that a business’s success
depends entirely on the decisions and actions that YOU
(the owner/manager) make, and it is a complete a waste
of time to seek reasons outside of your control for your
business’s results.

For Things to Change, I Must Change First

If you are currently running a business that is experiencing
lots of problems, see them as challenges. Rise to these challenges
if you want to make a significant improvement to your sales
and profits. The next exercise will help you do just that.

In the first column under ‘Blame,’ write down all the reasons
that have stopped your business from achieving its goals.
What have you blamed it on in the past? Uncommitted
employees? Too much competition? Government regulations?
Maybe even the bad economy?

In the next column ‘Taking Responsibility,’ I want you to write
down how you can take responsibility for the results you are
getting. In other words, how have you created the situation
from your decisions and your actions? Remember that once
you acknowledge the part you are playing, you will have the
power to make the change.

In the last column ‘taking action,’ write down what new actions
you can take immediately to change your result. Let me
demonstrate how I have used this exercise to help one of my
clients to turn his business around.
