Preparation, Desire and Faith meet opportunity

My husband tries to open a new business every other year. He has tried it all – clothing, magazine, limo service, music producer, and even a modeling agency. But he always ends up quitting because he complains that his competition is luckier than him, that he never gets a break and nobody will help him. I support my man to the end, but he is becoming very bitter and makes the same mistakes time and time again. How can I help him? –Laurie, Tampa

Sounds like your husband is just trying to open businesses that he thinks will get him rich quick.  If you open a business, it has to be your passion and not for the money … the money will come.  First of all, a jack-of-all-trades is the master-of-none, so he needs to set one plan and stick to it.  The second issue is that he has to stop hating on the competition!  His competition loves when he is hating, cause the more he is thinking about them, the less he is paying attention to his own business.  Finally, as for everybody else being lucky, TRUE POWER is to “UNDERSTAND THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS LUCK!  LUCK IS WHEN PREPERATION, DESIRE AND FAITH MEET OPPORTUNITY.” You have to change his way of thinking before anything good will come in both business and life.  I wish you guys the best!
