The Homeboy Hook-Up!

It is so enterprising to work amongst so many entrepreneurs. At one point in time our thoughts became our reality. As with anything, distractions in life alter the pace in which our companies grow, but we are all still here working towards our success. They say success comes with many challenges. Whoever they are, they are absolutely right!

I have fallen victim to it. I have taken part in it. I have learned from it. I have built my business so that others could avoid it. What is IT? IT! is the HOMEBOY Hook-Up. I would be living a lie if I didn't acknowledge that it is definitely costly to start your own business. We [small business owners] reach a level when eventually some form of investing has to take place. It may start with the need for a business card and dive into the world of up to date technology or more manpower [depending on your business]. At the end of the day, as your business grows your pockets tend to dissipate rapidly all in the name of investing in your dream. The HOMEBOY Hook-Up has gotten many small business owners off of the ground while inspiring others. The usual HHU time line goes like this....

  1. I believe in what my business is
  2. I speak it into existence
  3. I spread the word
  4. I find those who love and respect me who want to support me
  5. I see my dream a little clearer than I did before
  6. I still love the support of those who are helping me
  7. I get that feeling of I own my own thing
  8. Life gets in the way
  9. My supporters still support but can't afford to invest anymore time because I can't pay them
  10. People want immediate satisfaction [we are human]
  11. I am back to working on my dream solo because dreams don't pay bills:-(
Now! Once we have learned Lesson #1 of HHU we revamp the approach. Many times people begin to take on the the attitude of I can't trust anyone with my dream and I can do everything myself... Let's not forget the main thing.... I am free [I don't have to pay me]!!!! With a little humility hopefully Lesson#2 isn't to far down the road when you realize that you can't do it all.

Lesson #2 is when HHU really gets you. You realize you have to pay and you walk head on into learning that you get what you pay for. Sucks but true.
