Burn the Ship!

Monday, June 28, 2010

If you are doing this business on a part time basis, this is probably the most priceless piece of advice that someone could give you and this is the same advice that my long-time mentor had given me once: BURN THE SHIP! And I still need to hear this advice, again, and that's why I am bringing up this subject.

Burning the ship does not necessarily mean that you have to quit your job, but whatever it is that you are holding onto for security (like a day time job) is keeping you mentally unprepared to pursue your business with the full determination needed for you to succeed.

As Stone Evans cleverly said 'INTERNALLY, you must find a way to "burn your ships of security" and start relying on your business AS IF IT'S THE ONLY THING YOU'VE GOT'. Doesn't matter if you don't know who this guys is, but the statement does make lots of sense right? If the business is your sole source of income, wouldn't you work harder for it? In fact, you would work the hardest!

inilah juga yg dilakukan oleh Panglima Islam Tariq Ziyad ketika turun di perairan pantai utk menawan Sepanyol. Beliau telah membakar kapal-kapalnya sambil berkata kpd tentera2nya "sama ade kena menang menawan Sepanyol atau kita mati syahid. Tiada jln pulang ..." sbb tu lah mereka menang. Juga perkara yg sama dilakukan oleh Napoleon dlm siri penjajahannya.
