I don’t have an MBA. I was a broke, homeless cocktail waitress without a college degree. Huge companies like Dell, Whole Foods and Apple, were all started by people without college degrees. College students start businesses. High school students start businesses. Even 10-year-old kids start businesses.

“I’m not good at talking to people.” Practice makes perfect! You can’t get better if you never try. And I’ll give you a secret: just ask people to talk about themselves! Ask about their family, what they do for work, what they like to do for fun, and what they are passionate about.

You’ll be amazed how easy it is to talk to people when you are genuinely interested in getting to know them.

“There’s too much to learn.” Everyone has to start somewhere, and if you’re committed, you will want to learn. Ask questions. Talk to people who are successful in your field. Follow the example of people who have what you want.

We all have strengths and weaknesses, but anyone can overcome their perceived shortcomings.

“I’m not high-tech enough.” This, too, is a skill set. If you want to learn how to do things like build and manage your website, great. Training is readily available. But remember, you also don’t have to wear every hat in your business.

Outsourcing to experts leverages your time wisely. In fact, building a highly-skilled team is crucial to the success of your business. Find people who are good at whatever may NOT be your strength. Then, continue to develop your professional skills.

I failed miserably in business UNTIL I invested in my skills. When you increase your skills, you increase your value in the marketplace. That’s how you raise your income.

The only difference between an amateur and a professional? Skill. That’s it! That’s why a neurosurgeon makes the big bucks. It’s a highly-skilled and, therefore, highly-valuable service.

When I started my first business at 19 years old, I went for six months with absolutely no money coming in. Then, I found someone who was a rock star in the same business and asked him to show me how to do what HE was doing.

He told me about a training seminar, and said until I invested in that training, he would not work with me. He said if I gave him any excuses about why I couldn’t go, he would not work with me.

It was a $1,500 investment. You better believe I found the money. I made it happen. I got myself to that weekend, and in the next eight days I made $4,000 and brought 25 people onto my team.

It was amazing. Six months of hard work, seeing no fruit, and then… BAM! After that two-day training, I had the conviction and skills to create results. My next check was $11,000. The next, $15,000. The one after that? $20,000!

You have to stop living with an “I’m not good enough” mindset. Instead, find someone who has what you want, and copy them.
