In the previous post we looked at the very real fear you may have of making the transition from corporate to entrepreneurship. This fear is well founded, and the subconscious programming that underlies it is the reason why so many entrepreneurs fail. 

To Determine the Potential Success of your transition to Entrepreneurship take this short 3 Question Quiz:

Question 1: As a Corporate Executive today, rate your level of CONFIDENCE (1=least; 10=most) in each of these areas:

• a). Significance – who I am
• b). Contribution – what I do
• c). Reward – how much I make

Question 2: As a Corporate Executive today, rate your level of PERSONAL SATISFACTION (1=least; 10=most) in each of these areas:

• a). Significance – who I am
• b). Contribution – what I do
• c). Reward – how much I make

Question3: Imagine that tomorrow you were ‘mergered’ out of the Corporation you have become so much a part of, jobs are scarce at the executive level, and you have to consider entrepreneurship as a ‘default’ strategy. As a new Entrepreneur, rate your CONFIDENCE (1=least; 10=most) in each of these areas:

• a). Significance – who I am
• b). Contribution – what I do
• c). Reward – how much I make

Assess your Potential Success in transitioning to Entrepreneurship. Assessment:

• The difference between Q1 & Q2 is your level of motivation to change.
• The difference between Q1 & Q3 is your potential for failure as an entrepreneur.

Your motivation to change is an important factor. However, no matter how high your motivation to change, you will be continually undermined if the gap measured between Q1 and Q3 is wide. This indicates the gap between your ‘borrowed power’ and your ‘personal power’. The gap that those voices in your head keep warning you about. Unless you can close this gap, your potential for failure as an entrepreneur is very real.

The only way to conquer fear is to have immutable personal power. The focus of a laser coaching session with Susan is to identify unconscious areas where you have relinquished personal power or you have power leaks. These can be likened to hidden profit leaks in a business. Once you identify these areas you can use development processes to rebuild your personal power to levels that far surpass your current levels of confidence. Confidence is the precursor to any successful business endeavor. With this as a platform to launch yourself as an entrepreneur you will be able to make a quantum leap in your success. Before you work in your business … you must work on your business. Before you work on your business … you must work on yourself.
