Don't Just Let life Happen You

It always amazes me to see the number of people that aren’t born in the United States, unable to speak English, yet somehow still able to come to this great country, open a business that thrives.  In years past many people attributed the success that immigrant entrepreneurs were having to our government granting tax holidays. The reality however, is the IRS isn’t in the business of not collecting taxes. Everyone is taxed and taxed and taxed again, just to be sure you’ve been taxed.

So what is it that allows immigrants to find success operating their own business even with little education and money? The answer to this question isn’t as simple as some may think and I won’t insult your intelligence by offering a textbook answer that in many instances comes from little to no prospective.

My perspective on this matter points to the fact that desire, determination and passions are the key ingredients to success. Think about it from this perspective, people no matter where they are from all have a desire to succeed. Depending on the experience of each person oftentimes helps to shape ones desire to succeed or not to succeed. Those who don’t succeed often failed long before ever beginning their new business. 

In contrast those that are successful dig-in and won’t let anything deter their success. Passion, determination and desire are the actions that promote ones hunger for success and will always outweigh any chance that your goal or dreams will fail.  Unlike those that are born in the U.S. immigrant entrepreneurs in many instances aren’t concerned with the challenges of not speaking the language, not understanding the culture etc… but more focused on the possibility of being able to provide a quality life for their families. 

Don’t just let life happen to you and take control of your life.
