The biggest reason why many starters fail or lose confidence in any field of business is the lack of a battle-tested motivation to keep on going. If at first all seemed to be going all right, the time comes when setbacks block along the way. If the desire to push even farther is not strong enough, then most often than not majority of people involved in any type of business falter. Successful businessmen, entrepreneurs or marketers will tell us this same secret requirement which every person starting a business, offline or online, must have in order to succeed.
I have here a very inspiring story to tell you which will serve as a testimonial to what I am trying to portray. In the Philippines, one of the most popular success stories in the history of the business sector is the story of Henry Sy. He is the owner of the famous Mall of Asia and 32 other SM Malls. He is also a banking tycoon. As such, Sy is the richest man of the Philippines.
Now, did you know that at the age of 12, Sy started his business success journey from a small business stall? This is called sari-sari store in the Philippines. He had to work twelve hours a day helping his father to make more sales from the products he devised. He did this everyday that he had no time anymore playing with his friends.
Then WWII came. Their sari-sari store was burned and looted. Despite of this Sy was not intimidated. He continued buying and selling anything under the sun to help his family survive the war. This must be the time where he got that battle-tested motivation to keep on just going and going. This time must have provided him the hands-on training for his stamina in business. He was even hit by shrapnel while on his selling routines but this never gave him the idea of quitting.
Sy witnessed and resisted many more setbacks, both external and internal, in his journey to success. He had battled many times with the economy crises of the country that he at times almost could not understand why things had to be that way. But these obstacles did not let his relentless desire to keep on moving. He never stopped studying the market and at the same time learning everything about merchandising. Despite many more obstacles and criticisms, Sy saw the big opportunity of opening a new business endeavour which is now known as the SM Malls. It's an idea of a big mall which caters to all sorts of merchandise. Name it and you will find it at SM Malls, so to say.
To cut the story short, Henry Sy revealed his battle tested motivation when he said, "There is no such thing as overnight success or easy money. If you fail, do not be discouraged; try again. When you do well, do not change your ways. Success is not just good luck: it is a combination of hard work, good credit standing, opportunity, readiness and timing. Success will not last if you do not take care of it."
There you have it well said and done. Learning from various stories such as Henry Sy's rags to riches amazing success story is a must to starting a business and be successful, online or offline.
