When I’m talking with budding entrepreneurs who have visions of running their own online or offline business, I always seem to hear the same thing:
“I know what I need to do, Anand…I just need to get off my butt and actually do it”.
But unfortunately, we all know what happens. Most never take the next step, and eventually give up on their dreams altogether.
Sound familiar?
When I was first starting out in the business, I had a hard time taking action.
Yes, I was enthusiastic. Yes, I was educated. Yes, I had the skills and the tools to get it done.
But for some reason, I couldn’t take that first step. It was like my feet were virtually magnetized to the floor! Of course, I eventually found ways to get over the hump and actually put my plans into action. And guess what? Success quickly followed.
So over the years, I’ve been shaping and refining those action-taking tactics…getting them down to a science..
Thank Goodness I have buried my demons of procrastination !

The Survival of The Fittest by Jay Kubassek, CEO CarbonCopyPro
Whether you’re already an entrepreneur, or just thinking about becoming one, you are invariably motivated by one of two things, or maybe even both—passion and necessity. Very often, entrepreneurs do what they do simply because they like it and want to do it. And because entrepreneurs, particularly very successful ones, rarely do anything half-way, they tend to pursue their lives and their businesses with a unique intensity. In short, they are passionate about how they live and work.
Sometimes though, entrepreneurs start a business because they have to. Maybe it was because they were laid off from their jobs, or even worse, fired. Perhaps their company went out of business and left them out of work, or didn’t pay them enough money. In today’s economy, it’s not uncommon to see whole industries collapse when their markets dry up, as we’re seeing with real estate, construction, mortgage lending and automobiles. Many of today’s highly successful companies were started by entrepreneurs and bred from pure necessity, plain and simple.
Entrepreneurship carries with it many rewards—and many risks. It is often said that when you are self-employed, you wake up unemployed every morning. But according to Experian, one of the three biggest credit reporting agencies, self-employed entrepreneurs make about 25% more than the general population. Of course when you really consider income differential, you also need to realize that most of the wealthiest men in America made their fortunes as entrepreneurs. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump and Sam Walton are all self-made billionaire entrepreneurs.
But what about the risks? According to Entrepreneur Magazine somewhere between 85 and 94% % of all new business fail within the first 5 years. According to Dr. Gregory B. Murphy, associate dean and director of the MBA program for the College of Business at the University of Southern Indiana, the number of small businesses that close up shop due to severe financial distress such as bankruptcy is more on the order of 30%–40%. Regardless, this is still a huge rate of attrition.
Regardless of the risk, according to a study of entrepreneurs conducted by Master Card International, 65% of small business owners would tell a friend to start a business now, rather than wait a year. And according to MSNBC, small businesses are responsible for over 75% of the net new jobs in the economy.
These businesses often start very small—called micro businesses—and then grow rapidly. The US Census Bureau reports that 49% of the nation’s businesses are run from home, and industry analyst the Dieringer Group places the number of Americans running businesses from home at 45.1 million. Today, more so than ever, it is easy to start such a home-based business. Global search engine giant Yahoo reports that well over 75% percent of adults surveyed online indicated that the Internet directly facilitated the launch of their new business.
Based on all of this, regardless of whether you are—or want to be—an entrepreneur based on passion or necessity, you also need to consider the risk versus the reward. The potential benefits are vast and unlimited. The major risk is that you have about a 50% chance of failure. But you can get around that by doing some very basic things.
Leaders are not born. They are created. Anyone can become a leader in any area if they want to. (Read OUTLIERS by Malcom Gladwell) You need to set realistic expectations and manage them aggressively and then stick the bleep in there! Success is almost entirely based on determination—having the discipline to hang in there even when you feel like quitting 1000 times. Most entrepreneurs fail because they simply give up too soon. Free enterprise is really about the survival of the fittest, where only the strongest survive. The formula is simple—figure out what you what and then don’t quit until you have achieved your goals. Period.

Leverage: The Difference Between Entrepreneurs and Employees by Jay Kubassek, CEO CarbonCopyPro
CarbonCopyPRO is the world's most powerful marketing system for one reason—Leverage. The ability to efficiently and effectively utilize resources and time is a critical to the success of any online entrepreneur. Here are the top 5 ways that CarbonCopyPRO can give you an incredible amount of leverage in both your Wealth Masters International business, and your personal life.
1. The System—The majority of Internet marketing opportunities require you to create your own website if you want to do business online. And unlike CarbonCopyPRO, most of those systems don't have a team of online marketing gurus constantly split-testing and improving the framework from behind the scenes 24/7/365. Unless you’re using CarbonCopyPRO, you will need to walk your new team members through the process of building their own website while you find the time to build your own.
2. The Training—CarbonCopyPRO was built for—and by—the best marketers in the business. People that are out there in the marketplace, just like you, building their business using the exact same techniques that they developed and that we teach. Regardless of your prior marketing or computer experience, the training that CarbonCopyPRO provides will bring you up to speed quickly with an expert level of quality. Every member benefits from our years of collective experience, which dramatically reduces your learning curves and any stumbling blocks you may encounter in the process.
3. The Results—Leveraging the success of other self-made millionaires is one of the quickest ways to become a self-made millionaire yourself. With CarbonCopyPRO behind you, your prospects can be rest assured that they would be working with an entire team of people with a solid, impressive, track record of success.
4. The Resources—The leaders at CarbonCopyPRO are consistently researching and strategizing to bring you the best available resources in the industry. From our in house call-center that closes your sales, pre-written auto-responder (follow-up marketing system), daily webinars/conference calls, and live Master Marketing Events to The Urban Cowgirl and Platinum7, you will have exclusive access to resources that are unparallel in the industry.
5. The Lifestyle—Working with CarbonCopyPRO will have a huge impact on your personal lifestyle – IF you learn to leverage everything we have to offer. There is an old edict that states: If you are willing to work 99% harder than everyone else for 3-4 years, you will have the lifestyle that those 99% of people have only been able to dream about. Ultimately, when leveraged properly, you get to work less, so that you have time to enjoy the profits you're bringing in, while continuing to build your own financial legacy with Wealth Masters International. It’s the perfect scenario, and it’s waiting to be your reality.
