Decide your own future!
Don’t believe that anybody else is in charge of your destiny.
It’s simple to point the finger at everyone else when things go wrong. However, your life is under your control, and you have a lot of control over your fate.
Nellie Akalp is the creator of two very successful businesses, as well as a mother of four, an author, and a speaker. Despite the suggested stereotype for new entrepreneurs not to start a business with their spouses, she and her husband founded MyCorporation.com in their living room. They later sold it to Intuit in 2008.
Rather than retiring from that sale, Akalp went on to found CorpNet, a firm that attempts to assist aspiring small business owners by drafting and completing the required papers to create a corporation in any state. CorpNet can assist people who are already in business with continuing paperwork such as filing yearly reports, changing a company name, and more.
In the instance of the Akalps, defying advice not to start a business together led to a very successful firm and a $20 million sale.
When you’re beginning a business, you’ll get advice from a variety of sources, including the internet, other business owners, family, and friends.
However, in the end, you must make your own educated choices. Definitely pay attention to suggestions from those who have been there before. But also remember that you’ve done your homework, and can forge your own path.
To show our respect to Akalp’s motivational story, we bring you his top quotes surrounding success and inspiration in business.
“The best compliment in business is when your competition copies you.”
“Everything we have today is from our hard work and perseverance as business owners.”
“I am always working on new projects because we constantly must create and innovate to stay on top of our game in our industry.”
“Failure is not an option and to always use it as the fuel to get back and try harder.”
“I have learned that acceptance is the key and learning to let go and not control everything is the best way that you will find happiness.”
