Turn Your Desire Into Ambition

You’d have a desire and everything you need to get your business out in the field. Keep your entire business under a small roof, and watch it like a hawk, which requires consistent scaling of the business. Everything you need and want is in the same place. It is time to take these things to the real world. Congratulations, you now have a baby! When I say baby, I mean you now have a business. All part of a new born baby is traditionally fragile, the same thing applies to your business. All the troubles you have been going through all these while is preparing to pay off, and provides you with a “baby”.

You’d have everything you need, and something driving you, and probably thinking “now what”. Now is the time to turn what you want to an ambitious goal! These goals should have been identified in your business plan! This is the time to turn what you want to a goal, which means for example deciding how many people your message would have reached at a specific timeframe. This turns motivation to an ambition. Unfortunately, there is a different between ambition and ambition. An ambition that involves me selling my house to complete the startup phase would be insane, don’t you think?

The kind of ambition that I am talking about is the one that directly matters to what you want. When what you want is the driving power, and you determine how many people this solution should have reached within a specific amount of time, then you get a boost on the motivation. This is where you take everything you’d got to take you to the real business world. The best one is for example saying the number of people you would like to help within a specific period of time.

This is where the famous SMART-method is extremely useful. Let’s use the same reason provided in a previous blog, “Success Now Depends On You Answering A Question”:

“After going through rough time, I know how tough it is to move forward during rough period in our lives, I can relate to people in the same situation. I want to be a role model, and help people move from rough period of their lives to glory.”

Part of the motivation says, I want to be a role model, and help people to move forward in rough period of their lives, which indicates that what you are selling is already working for you. It means they can see the benefit of what you are selling on you.  Now, it is time to let that motivation drives, while ambitiously determining a goal.

When you’d turn your desire to ambition, start small. An example of a goal: I want to help 20 people in first week of business. Does that sounds like something achievable, according to SMART-method? If you have done your homework as suggested in “Success Need Details”, I expect you to know your market, and how to approach it. If you have identified yourself, and acknowledge how you want to look like to the world, you must look, smell, sound and feels like you are. These four senses are crucial in business. For example, if you enter a library, you’d be looking at books, smell books, feel books and sound of useful knowledge. Same thing applies to a business. Who you are, and your appearances must correspond with one another, because they play crucial roles in your business.
