Are You An Entrepreneur Or An Opportunity Seeker?
Now I know you could argue that an entrepreneur is also an opportunity seeker but let me explain the differences from my point of view.
Most Opportunity Seekers come online looking for a quick way to make a buck. They are lured in by the “get rich quick schemes”. They are quick to jump to the next shiny object they see when their current “opportunity” isn’t working out. If it involves work, they quickly “abandon ship”. They keep falling for the hype and spending tons of money with nothing to show for it. They become bitter and jaded and are probably a big reason that “online business” has such a bad name. (Besides the crooks running their schemes)
But…
Real entrepreneurs know that to build a successful business they must make a serious commitment and most assuredly many sacrifices to see their business grow.
Real entrepreneurs set goals to strive for and don’t let distractions get in their way.
Real entrepreneurs know that a positive mindset is crucial and spend time on their personal development.
Real entrepreneurs model themselves after leaders and follow a proven system. Re-inventing the wheel is not recommended (most of the time).
…and successful entrepreneurs know that the rewards are returned to them ten-fold when they give more in “user value” than they ask for in dollars.
I have to admit – I fell for a few “questionable opportunities” in my many years online. I always knew I had entrepreneurial blood flowing in my veins (I’m proud to say). Once I became seriously committed to my goals, put my blinders on, and found the right mastermind group with a proven system, I can honestly say I am a true entrepreneur!
What about you?

Hi Jill,
I got your message from the dlouhyvita email group. I read your blog and liked your story. I don’t care about reading and would rather watch a video but yours was short and to the point so I did not mind. Keep up the good work.

Thanks Brad and Sherry for the comments. I appreciate your input.

Hi Jill: I totally agree with the distinction you make between opportunity seekers and entrepreneurs~~those of us who are “real entrepreneurs” realize that building a network marketing business (or any business, for that matter) is a long-term endeavor and that it won’t happen overnight. There will be bumps along the way but hopefully our “Why” is strong enough to get us through those difficult times when we feel like giving up and throwing in the towel.
I am thankful for the support of a strong team and a phenomenal company; without any of them, I know I wouldn’t stand a chance of building a successful business.
You’ve done a wonderful job with your blog, Jill; please keep up the good work and continue to educate.
Jill, Very nice looking blog. And I like your article. Short and to the point.

Jill, your blog is awesome! Your article is short,sweet & truthful.
GOD bless you, and I wish you all the success you deserve.
Diane, Edward and Chinna, thanks for the kind and positive comments. Yes I like to keep my posts kind of short. I usually don’t like to read Looooong blog posts from other blogs. I have a short attention span – LOL.
Hope your online endeavors are always successful!
Jill
