Episode #035: Perseverance Is The Key That Unlocks Your Success Story with Pam Obasa and Kingsley Grant

✅ Why do you need to persevere?

• Finding clients is the most difficult part of starting a business from home
• Using Social Media and other platforms is the way most people use but it’s not sufficient
• Your business can evolve and look a whole lot different from the beginning.

✅ Start where it makes more sense for you, but start

Pam’s Story:

• Began with working alongside her mom in the childcare business
• Found a niche to help other childcare business owners to do what she was doing
• Discovered her current niche through a failed webinar
• Discovered one thing she did differently which was not to follow the gurus
• She discovered that what she does best was right there “under her nose” all along

✅ Perseverance was a key … by staying with it, it paid off

• Notifications from PayPal was the beginning of what’s possible.
• On the other side of perseverance is where the gold is
• The thing you need to be doing is sometimes right under your nose

✅ Stories: we all have stories, which helps us with our business

• Start to develop a bank of stories; write down everything that affects you. This could be a story for someone else.
• Learn how to tell your story well. It’s how you say it that matters.

✅ Overcoming your inner Gremlin

• Mindset is a key to sharing your stories well.
• “Feel the fear but jump anyway”
• Don’t go the journey alone. Get someone to help you along the way.
• To overcome the inner gremlin is to fill your mind with that which inspires, motivates and drives you forward
• Don’t compare; “all fingers are not made equally.”
• You must be willing to do today the things others won’t do to have tomorrow what others won’t have.
• Make sure you’ve identified your why. It will keep you motivated.

✅ Cons of doing a business from home

• You have to motivate yourself constantly
• You have to hold yourself accountable or get someone to do so because there are no boss or being on the clock
• You are the captain of your ship

✅ Pros about doing a business from home:

• You can spend more time with your family
• You are in charge of your time management
• Freedom and flexibility

✅ Making time to work at your business requires:

• Discipline. This is a common factor for successful entrepreneurs.
• That you work smart. Utilize automation. Outsource what you can so you can do what it is you are a genius at doing.

Parting word: Get into the game! The best time to start your business is right now. Get the necessary help you need.
