Hi ,
Recently one of our clients brought her five-year old son to one of our
workshop presentations. He was a ball of energy and in many ways he reminded me of sons childhood days.
But what really struck me was what business owners could learn from a five-year old kid.
1. Curiosity
During the workshop the young lad asked a constant stream of
questions.
His mother would say something and he peppered her with questions. She would answer and he would ask another question. His favorite question was "Why?"
He was incredibly curious and when he got the answer to his initial question he would ask another one.
Successful business owners are curious too.
They are genuinely interested in finding out about the nuts and bolts of a business opportunity and how it could benefit them.
2. No fear
Most business owners have some fears and hesitations especially
when it comes time to ask for a commitment or asking tough, probing questions.
However, five year old, kids, especially boys, have no fear.
No question is stupid or irrelevant. They have no hesitations in asking for something that they want.
For example, during our workshop, the young boy kept asking for another biscuit—there was a plate of biscuits on the table just out of arms reach. His mother kept saying no but that didn’t prevent him from continuing to ask. Eventually, his mother relented and gave
him not just one biscuit but the whole plate!
Most people with a dream of starting their own business don’t persist enough.
As soon as they encounter any type of resistance they are ready to throw in the towel.
3. Rejection
Even though this kid’s mother kept saying no, he didn’t take it personally.
He didn’t allow the initial rejection to prevent him from continuing to ask for the biscuit. Even though there was a room full of people looking on somewhat irritated by his persistence.
He
wasn’t afraid of the rejection or concerned that his mother kept saying no and was completely oblivious to other people in the room. He ignored the rejection and kept persevering. And, eventually, he got what he wanted, and some!
4. Baggage
Behaviors are learned. And people often miss out on valuable
opportunities because they don’t ask enough questions or because they give up too soon.
They carry around baggage from previous business venture that perhaps went belly up and allow this baggage to prevent them learning valuable lessons from this failed adventure and starting something new.
I’m not suggesting that a five-year old child could start a business but most people looking to start a business could learn a thing or two from someone this age.
Here’s my question to you…
What have you stopped doing that could move you towards starting your own recruitment agency…
Is it taking the time to find out more about what we have on offer and to see whether or not starting your own business is right for you?
Is some pass business failure holding you back from starting a new venture?
Is worrying about what others would say if you started some new business holding you back.
Take a lesson from a five-year old boy and completely ignore all that white noise, just be persistent in your endeavours don’t take no for an answer and you too may achieve your hearts desires.
