Opening a Small Business

by

Terry Kyle1. Recognize why you want to set up your own small business. It’s like going to the hardware store thinking that you

want a drill, when in fact you actually just need a hole. What’s the difference? The difference is that having a

laser-focused, crystal-clear outline of what you want at the end can massively accelerate progress towards that

goal. Imagine if an overweight person went on a diet with no pound-loss goal or time frame goals e.g. “I want to

lose 10 pounds in the next 30 days”.

Their diet would probably not succeed.

Similarly, joining a martial arts class without the goal of reaching a certain belt or tournament in a certain time

frame would also probably not succeed. In relation to opening a small business, you need to decide what income,

lifestyle and personal goals you are shooting for. Bear in mind that progress is never as fast as any of us want in

our impatient world so think in terms of year-to-year and month-to-month progress. For example, “by August next

year, I want to have my Level 3 Personal Training qualification, have built up commercial relationships with 7 gyms,

have 25 private personal training clients and be making a $1100 a week profit. Even this should be further lasered

down to even more micro-specific goals.

Without this ‘satellite navigation’ method for your small business, how can

it get to any destination?

2. The first lap of the track is the hardest. By this, I mean the first week, month and year of your new business

will be the trickiest. Why? Because when we learn anything new, we make mistakes. And then more mistakes. And

probably even more after that. But that’s OK because failing our way forward is not just one way we learn, in fact,

it’s the only way we learn. Fail your way forward and let go of any silly ideas that failing is bad. You just cannot

learn without failing. Failing is great because it adds to a knowledge base and success is impossible or at least

extremely unlikely without a knowledge base. So don’t waste time procrastinating about whether to open a small

business. You are going to be failing and screwing up in the first six months to year anyway so why not get started

now?

That is, provided you follow point three below.

3. I call this the Jumping Between Moving Cars method. When making the leap from a normal 9-5 job to a new small

business, it is vitally important that the other source of income is moving (like a car driving in parallel in the

movies), i.e. making money. It is crazy to jump from a stable income source to one that is not yet rolling. However,

aspiring entrepreneurs do this all the time. Ever seen what happens in the movies to the guy trying to jump from the

burning vehicle into the safe one beside him and misses? Ouch! Yes, having two jobs going at once is hard work and

yes it will be stressful for a while.

But isn’t living life on your own terms with freedom of time and money, possibly for the rest of your life worth it?

4. Which small business is the safest, best and most lucrative for you to go for? I get asked this question a lot

and my best advice is to go for a business that suits your own individual personality very well e.g. there is good

money in vending machines but you may, for instance, prefer hosting haunted historical tours in your area because

you love history, are interested in the supernatural and love meeting and talking to people.

The business has to fit your own personality well. And, it should have a very low financial downside – preferably almost nil. The internet makes ultra low-cost marketing and selling more possible than ever before so don’t jump into expensive long-term

shop leases, staff contracts, equipment purchases and so on. Work from home, use the internet, put flyers in letterboxes yourself, get out and talk to your target market (for free) and do everything for as little money as possible.

Then if the business fails – which it might, at least for a while – you have only sacrificed your time.

5. Final point. Over the course of my professional career in marketing and business, I’ve met many very rich and

successful entrepreneurs and I’ve also met many failed entrepreneurs. What’s the main difference between the two

groups? Intelligence? Nope. Charm? Nope. Luck? Nope. Coming from a rich family? Nope. In fact, the main difference

was that the ones who had Made It had a totally pigheaded stubbornness to do whatever it took to learn the specific

skill set to make money.

Stubbornness.

Do not underestimate the power of it if you are serious about success. The entrepreneurial failures were distracted by TV, too much socializing, jumping from one get rich scheme to another and another and any other shiny thing that came into their orbit. In short, the winners were not distracted. The losers were.

Now go and open a small business that gives you freedom and control over your life.

Crystal Pendulums For Self Help

A crystal pendulum is a bright crystal attached to either a chain or a cord and used for divination. The chain or cord is usually at least six inches in length, and a shoelace will work well if you don’t have a chain or cord. Pendulums have been used for centuries, and I have a few pendulums that I use for different purposes, as each of them has a different vibration. They are also used for aura cleansing and during religious ceremonies.

You don’t need a special pendulum or even a fancy one if you plan to use it for divination, anything that can be attached via a cord or chain will do. I’ve also attached them with shoestrings or wire that I purchased at the hardware store. Also, any kind of twine, string, or even a strip of left over cloth can be used. The cloth in itself can be brightly colored or coorespond with any chakra which you are attempting to activate. Your choices are numerous!

Usually the crystal at the end of the pendulum is pointed, although I’ve made potent pendulums from all sorts of stones, including strawberry quartz and an apophylite pyramid. They will work no matter what stone you chose. Just allow yourself to be open to the vibration of the crystal, and you will find the right pendulum for you.

Many people feel that a pendulum is an extension of ourselves, the extra arm or spiritual part which connects to the divine. It is essentially an extension of our own being and of our spiritually.

Pendulums are also used as protection against evil spirits or unforeseen circumstances.

Pendulums are mostly used to answer questions regarding everyday life and they are very effective. They are very useful in this regard.

They are also used over the body, especially the chakra areas, in order to determine blockages or any kind of hindrance in the emotional, spiritual, mental or physical part of the system.

My grandfather was a water witch, so his pendulum per se was an old willow branch. He divined for water on his farm in Kansas, as he needed a well for his farm and his family. The well he found was full of water for nearly eighty before it finally dried up two years ago. This technique is called pendulum dowsing, and can also be used for finding oil and other minerals.

Crystal pendulum usage is primarily an activity that you’ll do by yourself. It’s best done when in a meditative mood and when one is calm and relaxed., and also when you’re not apt to be disturbed.

A pendulum swings back and forth from the reader’s fingertips. Quite often, it will also swing in a circle, either clockwise or counterclockwise. The weight at the end of the pendulum is called a bob, and a bob can be any kind of crystal, metal, or found object.
