Oh Yes! The game has changed and the barriers for you to get in the game have come down.
With the advancement of technology, the platforms that are available for you to begin to build something special are wide open.
In many cases the investment required is minimal and with the others all that are required is your time and hustle.
If you have the guts…You Can Get In The Game.
NO GUTS-NO GLORY
I hear you, “Bro. Bedford, my passion isn’t retail friendly and no one is interested in my passion. I’m into African Dance. I’m into the Education or Cooking or Painting.
I want to build a business, but there’s no money in that. Plus, I’ve got to pay the bills; I have the children to be concerned with and elderly parents, etc…etc…”
Well, so did thousands of other people who have taken to the Internet and Social Network Platforms. They got in the game and they SCORED!
“But Bro. Bedford”, someone else might say, “have you been keeping up with the news over the last couple of years? The economy is taking a beating, people have lost their jobs, ain’t nobody got no money like before.”
Yeah, I’ve been paying attention and I don’t know of too many people who have been talking about how funky and stinky this economy has been and is more than me.
They may go further and say, “I’m doing my research now and I’m going to plan for the day when I know FOR SURE it’s a good time to start a business.”
The bottom line is it’s never really a bad time to start your own business. The Laws Of Business…The Laws Of Success never change. We just have to elevate ourselves to make the Laws Of Business and the Laws Of Success work for us.
Now if you want to start a mediocre business that really doesn’t add value to the lives of others, you’re right now is not a good time.
But if you want to build a Supreme business around your passion and your strengths that adds value to the lives of your targeted market, the time has never been better.
Keep in mind we’re not talking about the next Chrysler, AIG, or Bear Stearns, we’re talking about you being able to add value to a targeted group that thinks you’re the best thing since sliced bread.
That Market could be as big as 10,000 people or as small as couple hundred people.
You may say, “A couple hundred people, I can’t build a business serving a couple hundred people.”
Really, 200 people paying $20 a month is not good enough for you. That’s $4,000 a month. That’s $48,000 a year. What if they’re paying more than $20 a month? That’s better than most jobs today.
Today your passion and strengths mixed with the right target market can give you financial independence and peace of mind you’re looking for.
Over the next few post we’ll be discussing ways to ‘Cash In On Your Passion’. Be sure to check back.

Thank you for the continuous encouragement to venture out and make things happen. To step out on faith; some of us need to have this in order to make a positive move in the right direction. Like what was stated: If You Have The Guts You Can Get Into The Game!

Thank you so much for this article. I have found myself in a place where the corporate job force hasn’t worked well for me, and now I am in a position where I need to step out on faith and do what I should be doing and need to do. I hope you have continual success in your business ventures as well as keeping us informed of all the wonderful possibilities that are available to us. Thank you.
