Why Do Businesses Succeed?

I heard this on a webinar training the other day:  The success rate in the real estate industry is estimated to be about 6%.  That means 94% of all the people that get their real estate license never sell a house.

Now why?  You gotta wonder, right?  What is it that makes the difference between the businesses that succeed, and those that don’t?

In the home business industry, the success rate is 2-3%.  We’re encouraged to never quit though.  In order to achieve something great, we must refuse to give up.  So why do people quit?  As my business coach Tom Challan puts it, people quit because their “junk in the trunk” is exposed.  This industry exposes people where they’re at in life – fears, work ethic, past habits, procrastination, etc.

The people who make it are the ones who commit to succeeding long-term.  It’s as simple and complex as that.  We get to work putting all the ingredients together to form our goals, focus, and motivation.  We’re getting rid of the distractions and hindrances.  We move beyond the “junk in the trunk” (fears, no work ethic, etc.)  We’re personally and professionally growing.

Here’s a great case in point.  My business partner Patty Gale shared this insightful video on Facebook.  Take a look at why Amish businesses succeed.

What are some things you see in Amish businesses that make them successful?  And how can you apply them in your business if you own one?
