3 Powerful Tips for Getting into the Right Business for
You
by Tony Mase
In two previous articles, "The #1 Best Business to Get Into
if You Want to Get Rich" and "How You Can Find the Financial
Success You're Seeking", I answered one of the single most
frequently asked questions I'm asked.
Although it's asked in many different ways, the question
really boils down to...
What's the best or the "right" business or profession to get
into if I want to get rich?
Regardless of how it's asked, my answer is always the
same...
A business or profession which you like!
If it uses your strongest abilities, skills, or talents, all
the better. If it doesn't, no big deal, you can develop the
necessary abilities, skills, or talents as you go along.
Here are three powerful tips for getting into the right
business or profession for *you*:
Tip #1 - Take a close look at what you *don't* like to do.
Although I don't generally recommend looking at anything
from a negative perspective, there are times when it's
helpful and this is one of them.
One of the easiest and fastest ways to narrow your search
for the right business or profession for you to get into is
to figure out what the wrong business or profession for you
to get into would be.
For example...
If the very thought of selling something to someone makes
you want to...
Well...
Let's just say...
Throw up...
Then I'd suggest you don't consider any business or
profession that involves sales or at least direct sales.
I can tell you from personal experience...
If you get into a business or profession that you don't
like, you'll be miserable in the process and ultimately
you'll fail.
So...
Why set yourself up for misery and failure ahead of time?
Tip #2 - Take a close look at what you *do* like to do.
It might be something you're doing now or have done in the
past to earn money. It might be a hobby or special interest
of yours. It could even be related to a class you took in
school or a particular subject you're interested in...
Anything...
Absolutely anything!
Remember this...
You can get rich in *any* business or profession.
There are folks right now, right this very moment, who are
getting rich in *every* conceivable business and
profession...
And so can you!
There's a way or ways you can get rich doing absolutely
*anything* you like to do.
Here's a great example...
I know a gal who earns a *serious* full-time income doing
exactly what she likes doing better than anything else...
Going to tag sales (also known as garage sales or yard sales
depending on where you live) and buying "stuff".
Now...
There's a downside...
She really doesn't like selling her "stuff". She finds the
selling process boring and tedious. She gets all her
"jollies" from finding and buying her treasures.
So...
How does she possibly make any money?
Simple...
She's developed a rather elaborate network of dealers
willing to buy her "stuff" in their specialty areas at
wholesale prices from her, consignment shops willing to sell
her "stuff" for a percentage of the sale, and she has
someone who sells her "stuff" on eBay for her (who,
interestingly enough, likes the selling process but doesn't
like to go out to find and buy "stuff" to sell) for a
percentage of the profits.
Although she makes less money per item doing it this way,
she makes far more money in the long run because it allows
her to massively do the one thing she likes to do better
than anything else...
Going to tag sales and buying "stuff".
Remember...
There's a way or ways you can get rich doing absolutely
*anything* you like to do.
Tip #3 - Take a close look at your strengths and weaknesses.
The ideal business or profession for you to get into would
be one that you like doing and one that makes use of your
strongest abilities, skills, or talents.
However...
Although you should consider them, your abilities, skills,
or talents shouldn't be your first consideration when
choosing a business or profession for you to get into.
Why?
Two reasons...
First...
There may be all sorts of things you're good at that you
don't really like doing all that much.
Second...
There isn't any ability, skill, or talent that you can't
develop if you want to.
In his book "The Personal Power Course", Wallace D. Wattles,
best known for his classic masterpiece "The Science of
Getting Rich", wrote:
"Perhaps the most essential part of wealth-culture consists
in finding the place where you will be happy in your work."
When you're "happy in your work" your work ceases to be work
and it becomes fun.
Your "fun" combined with constructive thought and
constructive action can make *you* rich!
