Ackces.com......The Eleven Rules of an Entrepreneur

You live and die by the standards you create for yourself in life

"The chess-board is the world, the pieces are the phenomena of the universe, the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us."

What is a successful entrepreneur?
1. Determined: I will succeed no matter what because I always stick to my goals until they are achieved. (Tip: Determination means never taking 'no' for an answer and never ever saying you'll give up.)

2. Resilient: I can bounce back and start again no matter what obstacle, pain, disappointment and emotional misfortune I might encounter. (Tip: To overcome defeat, remember where you started and how far it took you to reach where you are now. Remember the mistakes you made in the past and how much wiser you are today.)

3. Focussed: I will let nothing and no-one stand in my way and will summon all my energy and channel it into achieving my goals. I will never lose track of what it is I am aiming for in life. (Tip: Always keep a monthly diary and evaluate what you have achieved and how far you have come on a monthly basis.)

4. Driven: I will consistently push myself to my limits to achieve my dreams. (Tip: Nothing in life is free and nothing comes easy. It is through pain that we realise our limits and by knowing this, we can only get stronger.)

5. Courageous: I know how to take risks because I fear no one. (Tip: Evaluate each risk by assessing the possible gains and losses. Develop a strategy and determine the stake you will win and how high you have to climb before you reap the rewards. Remember with every risk you take, you must ask yourself this: Is it worth it and what are the consequences I may have to face?)

6. Persistent: I will always keep going even when the going gets tough. (Tip: If the tough keeps getting tougher and it seems as if you are not going very far very fast, redefine your strategy and plan and look at alternative routes towards your end goal.)

7. Charismatic: I have the ability to charm anything and anyone. (Tip: You must create a strong reputation for yourself. Reputation is everything. Guard it with everything you have in you and more.)

8. Strong: I WILL ALWAYS find the survival instinct within MYSELF to keep going even when my will feels feeble and my body has failed me. (Tip: Remember your strength is locked within your mindset and by believing you are a champion you will become a champion. Never assume the role of a victim; always maintain control, by appearing strong and powerful. People treat you according to how you act. If you act like a victim you will be treated like one.)

9. Achievement-driven: I will make sure that every step I make leads to reward, recognition and achievement of all my goals. (Tip: This can often be something as simple as congratulating yourself for a job well done.)

10. Full of self-belief: I believe in the impossible because I will never give up until the impossible is achieved. (Tip: Remember that there is always a way to achieve what you want if you are absolutely committed to achieving it. Try thinking laterally!)

11. Proud: I will stand tall no matter what the circumstances because I am proud, strong, intelligent, confident and powerful. (Tip: You must put a value on yourself. Like everything in life, you must state your price and stick to it. Create you own unique selling point that will justify your price. Make yourself irreplaceable.)

"Really, the fundamental, ultimate mystery -- the only thing you need to know to understand the deepest metaphysical secrets -- is this: that for every outside there is an inside and for every inside there is an outside, and although they are different, they go together."

Ackces.com......An Entrepreneur Story

"Only a man who knows what it is like to be defeated can reach down to the bottom of his soul and come up with extra ounce of power it takes to win when the match is even." Muhammad Ali

My dilemma is I never know when to stop! When to stop pushing! Stop wanting! Stop running!

And when to stop chasing my dreams.

“You need to slow down”, everyone says to me.

In my head, I can’t stop aiming, I can’t stop trying, and I can’t stop believing - that somewhere out there I am living my destiny. And it’s for real this time.

I have often pushed myself to the extreme and last week was no different. I fell ill with the flu. Sometimes you forget that you are not a machine.
But sometimes you just feel so anxious that if you close your eyes for long enough your dreams will slowly slip away from you.

But then I slowed down. I took a long hard look at myself – where I was now, and what I’m striving for.
I have a degree; I’m a life coach; I’m a personal trainer, I’m a mentor. All these things I have succeeded at.

A year ago I entered into an entrepreneurial scholar program and won the money to launch my conference company. What a boost!
I convinced myself it would be successful and I poured my heart and soul into it.
How wrong I was. I made a mistake and the company was bankrupted, a year ago.

I was in debt, and so down – I honestly thought I had nothing left.
But I brushed myself down.

I had to forget about failure, and I had to get up and start all over again. What’s that they say? When you aim high, your fall is a long way down.

It’s not easy.

But today, when I look in the mirror, I know, if I slow down, assess my goals, and focus… I know the day will come when I will make it.

"Mysterious power, whence hope ethereal springs! Sweet heavenly relic of eternal things!Inspiring oft deep thoughts of things divine: The past, the present, and the future time. Thy reminiscences transport the soul. To memory’s Paradise—its future goal."
Parley P. Pratt http://www.motivatingquotes.com/dreams.htm

As a little girl I dreamt of rainbows and believed in fairy tales….I climb trees without thinking of the consequences and told all the other kids that my daddy was superman and that he could move mountains…..yes he could?

Only I never knew my dad but…….. He was out there searching for me like the knights in the fairy tales……I had hope…..like many other kids before and after me…
As a little girl I had imaginary friends…my brother was a giant and my sister was queen of the entire kingdom.

Only I never had a brother……but if I had one I am sure he would have protected me…..Oh yes he would?

As a little girl I loved watching fairy tales and hated being dragged to church in pink frilly tailed dresses that my mother insisted I wore….and the other kids made fun of….
When I was younger I had friends who showered me with love and families who expressed high hopes for me...

I dreamt of colourful things, and that I when I grew up I would fall for a king. I believed in dreams and fairies and knights and that someone was up there in that big blue sky, protecting me, tucking me in safely, watching me slowly drifting off to sleep at nights.

When I was a little girl…….I had a best friend and we shared our dreams and wishes…I told him I would become the modern day Martin Luther King and that I would have enough one day to become a hero and changed the world….

I dreamt of a future where I was strong enough and had enough to… help kids without mothers and fathers and helping countries that have lost their souls…Back then I admired Maya Angelou and all those who dared to stand up for what they believed in.

He said….start by changing yourself….That was the last I ever saw of him…
but I wonder what he thought of me when he looked down from above…..and saw that most of what I wanted…was still unfulfilled…

When I become and adult I learn that fire burns and pain sinks so deep into the shrines of your soul that you can barely breathe when you are all alone. I learn that the world has walls and barriers and that when you bleed your whole being shudders and promises are meant to be broken and people are taken for granted.

I learn that survival is life’s secret game and that life came at a price. I learn that you work hard for what you ask life for and that relationships can make or break you. I learn that you work your socks off nine to five and disguise your dreams…from preying eyes….

When I was a little girl? I never gave up on what I believed in and that maybe life hurts so much right now because I never will…

I learn that pain is not so bad after all and that letting go means that sometimes you have to….. in order to win.

I want you all to know that I use, ACKCES.COM because I have a dream and that giving up is an easy alternative but when you are doing something you are passionate about…failure is never an option….I believe obstacles are there to remind you that you are really trying….that you are not just talking…you are actually doing something…. and heroes never give up fighting….

With Ackces.com….I know the world will see what I have to offer, one day.

It's a sort of bloom on a woman. If you have it, you don't need to have anything else; and if you don't have it, it doesn't much matter what else you have.

James Matthew Barrie on charm, in What Every Woman Knows

We’ve spoken before about success, the process of becoming successful. It’s a fact that successful people are those who navigate the highs and lows – the ones who pick themselves up and dust themselves down after every fall… and move on to better things. I’ve been very impressed with all of your comments and personal stories here on Ackces.com, and I want to salute the huge numbers of fighters and survivors we have out there. We’re here to support you in your battle.

Becoming Powerful
Think about some of the most powerful people in the world today.
Power is the ability to influence both people and your surroundings. It’s the ability to act instead of simply reacting to events as they occur; it’s the ability to make a change instead of remaining a helpless spectator. Power is what can make some people respect you and others fear you and it's what can help you get what you want.

What about the power that we all hold in our bodies, our eyes, and our lips? How can we cultivate it?

Becoming Charismatic
Charisma is a certain quality, observable in many successful people. One person sets himself apart from others, and is admires for his power or successful qualities. It’s a physical and emotional power.

Become magnanimous
Those with presence and charisma draw a following because of their ability to say things in a way that’s appealing. Their strength lies in the ability to convey messages in a most convincing manner that charms those around them. Charisma is a quality that can enable you to accomplish almost everything you could ever want faster than you can imagine. It is a quality that highly successful people have developed and use to their advantage in everything they do.

Your charisma is really a measure of the power of your personality and is largely based on perception. It is based on what people think about you. It is not so much reality as it is what people perceive you to be.

Men and women with charisma and personal magnetism almost invariably have a clear vision of who they are, of where they’re going and what they’re trying to achieve. They are totally focused on accomplishing some great purpose. They are decisive about every aspect of their lives. They know exactly what they want and what they have to do to get it. They plan their work and work their plan. People are naturally attracted to those people who exude a sense of self-confidence, those who have an unshakable belief in their ability to rise about circumstances to attain their goals.

It’s all about your power to believe in yourself.

You live at the level at which you speak. The link to your success is you!
