Tenzing Norgay was a Sherpa from Nepal who joined a team to climb Mount Everest. He joined the team lead by Edmund Hillary, a New Zealander and they were on a mission to accomplish what no other had ever done – to conquer Mount Everest.

For each new level reached, a higher degree of team work was required. One group would exhaust themselves getting their equipment up the mountain. Teams worked together to make a path – a path to help others.

Conquering the mission was not about speed, about racing ahead, doing it alone or about competing and being the first. It was a case of being steady and careful and working together.

Where would Edmund be if it wasn’t for the efforts of the team around him?

Together they were not only finding a path, they were making one.

“Put yourself in the way of success, find the path and follow it!”

This journey has similar comparisons when wanting to create your own business – especially for Ideas Working From Home or when working on innovative business ideas. You could set out on a mission and make the path. However, in business, time is money. You may not have time to warm up, but need to get stuck in and work on income producing activities. This can be frightening and stressful as this is about putting in time and investment into your business. But be realistic and don’t be fooled to think there are quick ways to make money. It may all be slow to start off with, but as long as you keep moving forward then success should come.

Making the path is hard work as you will need to learn what works and what doesn’t, decide which obstacles to jump over, go through or go around, manage failures and successes, staying committed with drive and ambition and so on. All the time you need to be teachable, accept change and fear, take risks and keep sight of your vision. Avoid being distracted and trying to please others. You are on a compelling mission and only you will determine its outcome – not luck or by chance. Agree though being in the right place at the right time helps.

You can’t leave your business in limbo nor take forever to start. Once you have an idea start working on it otherwise you may lose the opportunity or your chance to win and be successful.

Yes you could take the view of wanting to achieve everything on your own, but this is really learning the hard way especially if putting in far excessive hours with little gain, your throwing money at the business with no return. You may be eager, but reality suggests that the majority of self started businesses fail within the first five years.

Another view can be taken, a much easier one, and that is to make the journey following the path that has already been made. In terms of Mount Everest, a 13 year old has now conquered the mountain by following the path. In terms of business, why not follow the path made by those who have found a way to be successful and able to create great wealth. Why start over if you can short cut the route to achieve your desired goals?

There are many successful business leaders and sure there is one for the business you are looking to pursue. Mastermind with such leaders, find out what they do and how. Such leaders will be expressed in books, magazines and are probably lecturing their own business techniques within their field of influence and expertise. Do your homework first and find these leaders. Follow a chosen path, learn from other peoples successes and failures to ensure you move forward with passion and integrity.

So if you are looking to start a business from home or looking to rekindle an existing business then follow the leaders. Find the leaders in your field and follow their path to success. Wouldn’t it be even better if such leaders were prepared to help you, provide tools and techniques as well valuable advice and information.

Whether climbing a mountain or establishing a business, to be successful is about moving forward and taking action each and every day. Following a path though is a much easier journey. The only component missing is you! This is not about conquering Mount Everest, but a case of conquering yourself.

Move forward in your business and do something positive today.
