How To Succeed In Your Home Based Business – Lessons From Snowboarder Shaun White

If your burning desire is to learn how to succeed as a home based business entrepreneur, then there’s a huge lesson you can learn from snowboarder Shaun White. For those who may be living under a rock, Shaun White is the world’s top snowboarder and won Olympic gold last week in Vancouver, Canada.

It may seem a stretch to associate Shaun White with how to succeed in a home base business but as you shall soon see, they both have a great deal in common.

As is common for any top athlete, when Shaun White made his gold metal snowboard run he pulled off what appeared to be a completely effortless performance. He pulled off a few tricks which no snowboarder had ever made before and the end result was a gold medal.

So again, what does this have to do with you? Let me explain…

The reason why Shaun White is so superior in his sport is because he has unconscious competence as it relates to his skills. In fact, any truly successful person, regardless of their chosen endeavor, has got to posses the same attribute; unconscious competence.

Shaun White was not born a world champion snowboarder. His status of being the world’s greatest is the result of his tireless hard work. And no man or woman was ever born a successful home based business owner. Any bit of success in your home business will come about as a result of your own hard work.

Now stick with me here, this is about to get really interesting.

All home business entrepreneurs start off in the same place. They have a great deal of enthusiasm and big dreams of getting rich. But, they frequently have no idea where or how to get started. This is the initial phases of business building known as unconscious incompetence. What this means is you stink at building a business but the real problem is you have idea what it is you actually stink at.

As you move along in your business you begin to become cognizant of the skills you lack. Once you realize what it is you’re no good at you can begin to fix it. This stage is known as conscious incompetence. This is a very important entrepreneurial phase to go through. You cannot improve your weaknesses if you are not aware of what those weaknesses are.

Eventually, operating your business begins to become more fluid. You’re finding the activities of marketing, lead generation and proactively speaking with prospects is becoming easier for you. You’ve been studying good business practices and you can more easily apply those practices to your home based business building efforts. This stage is known as conscious competence. In this stage you can see your improvements are having a great, positive impact on your business.

Finally you’ll find yourself in the place where all truly successful people reside; it’s called unconscious competence. In this stage, success becomes second nature to you. This is where you’re able to effortlessly do the things necessary to grow your business.

This is the stage where all top performers exist; from Olympic champions like Shaun White to the home based business owner who is living his or her dream lifestyle. When you can perform at your peak potential without being slowed by having to think about all the small details then you are well on your way to your own gold medal status.

This final stage of how to become successful in your home based business is the same place Shaun White, and all top performers for that matter, reside.

Did you ever notice that success for some people just seems so effortless for them? That they just seem to have the Midas touch? It is because they’ve worked for, and have earned the right to, reside in the stage of unconscious competence.
