4 Questions That Separate 'Want'-repreneurs From BIZ Experiencess Are you asking yourself 'if' -- or 'how?'

Michael Jordan once said, "Some people want it to happen. Some wish it would happen. Others make it happen." Which kind are you? Do you take action to achieve your goals, or are you just waiting for what you want to materialize?

In other words, are you an BIZ Experiences or a "want"-repreneur?

Perhaps that's an unfair question. After all, most of us can be a little of both at times. Some days, I'm an action-taker, and other times I realize that I'm dreaming but not taking steps to get there. So, how can you make sure you lean toward the "BIZ Experiences" side as often as possible? Easy -- ask yourself these four questions.

1. Are you asking 'if' -- or 'how?'

There are few things in today's world that simply cannot be accomplished. Everything else is on a sliding scale of difficulty. In other words, in today's connected world, it's rarely a question of "if" but "how."

Therefore, if you want to move from want-repreneur" to BIZ Experiences, you must become someone who continually asks, "How?" rather than "If." Because, asking the latter gets you nowhere: It allows your brain to simply say no." It signals your return to evenings of Netflix and popcorn.

Asking "how," in contrast, gets your creative juices flowing and allows for solutions:

• How can this business be built?
• How can I raise capital?
• How can I buy that commercial building?
• How can I write a book?

By assuming that something can be done, you're just a matter of time away from figuring out how to make it happen. For example, when I invest in real estate, I don't ask if I can afford to buy a property; I ask, "How can I afford to buy?" That question has allowed me to acquire more than 50 rental property units, and I'm just 30 years old.

So, how are you going to reach your goals?

2. Whom are you learning from?

Three times a week, I play racquetball at my local YMCA against my good friend Robert. Robert has played, on and off, for almost as long as I've been alive; naturally, he kicks my butt every game. So, why do I keep playing him?

Because I'm getting better. Sure, I could play someone with less skill, but I've had to ask myself: Do I want to win games, or do I want to get better? If I wanted the former, I'd play against my 4-year-old niece, Jada.

The same principle applies to BIZ Experiencesship. While it seems silly to take advice from someone less successful, want-repreneurs do it all the time. They take money advice from broke friends and BIZ Experiencesship advice from family members who have only ever worked a day job. Half of the advice is bad, and the other half is far too kind.

On the other hand, BIZ Experiencess look for those who are wildly more successful than themselves. They want their butt kicked because it means they're growing. They want to suffer because they know suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character.

3. What do you do about your many ideas?

Both BIZ Experiencess and want-repreneurs have a lot of ideas.

Want-repreneurs have a new idea each week and are constantly chasing the next shiny new object. Each idea seems more awesome than the previous one, and they spend a few days thinking and planning until the passion fades and they move on to the next idea.

BIZ Experiencess, on the other hand, understand that the passion will not last, but they continue to work on just one idea for as long as possible. They know that nearly any idea will work, given enough time and focus. Rather than jumping from one idea to another, BIZ Experiencess follow one path until it either fails or succeeds.

They know that success is not about doing the right work, but doing work right.

4. What's on your schedule?

Here's a little riddle for you: What day is the best day to work on your business? For the want-repreneur, it's always tomorrow. Want-repreneurs have a lot of plans and ideas, but rarely take the time each day to work on the nitty-gritty in their business.

BIZ Experiencess, on the other hand, schedule time each day to work on their most important tasks. This concept, often known as time-blocking, can completely revolutionize a business because tasks are given a place of priority among all the calls, meetings, commuting, haircuts, kids' soccer games and other daily events. Time-blocking is how BIZ Experiencess get things done.
