(Yet another Entrepreneurship Article by Vogel.)
Strict personal financial control and the right attitude . . . right attitude? Ever found yourself in one of the following situations?
1) I'll do it MYSELF . . .
During your 3rd iteration of the learning curve, you realise that you just will have to be satisfied with the present attempt cause you've now spent double the amount that the professionals quoted you, and you are desperately behind schedule with all your other stuff.
2) I can do that TOO:
10 km radius . . . 33 estate agents, 11 garages, 15 bottle stores, 7 struggling pizza places - who also serve hamburgers - grilled chicken nowhere to be found. It is the struggle of Competition versus the synergy of Complementary Business.
By focusing on money people are losing their passion. By trying to fill all the gaps the business is never differentiating itself, never excelling in its niche, never developing a competitive edge.
3) Bypassing the "Spungers".
O that feeling of satisfaction . . . you've just figured out how to bypass that local agent/shop and save a lot of money. Tired of local people trying to make money out of you, you go for regular business trips to other regions. After all the local shops are rather pathetic compared to the Big City Guys. You do your own garden and fix the car yourself.
What are these?
I like to call the above the "3 bad business syndromes". Symptoms of an inefficient and underdeveloped business attitude that is detrimental to the success of your own and other businesses. Fortunately, it is curable. Success is built on the application of abundance principles - sometimes contrary to normal human nature.
It is the way in which we do (or don't do) things that make us successful (or not) and it is our attitude that determines the manner in which we do things. Truly grasping a principle often results in the enlightenment of attitude.

Let's look in the next article at a few principles that can change the way we think/feel about business.
