Get started; you can do it.

A favourite strategy of many governments is making you feel incapable of accomplishing anything worthwhile without them. They remind you of your past mistakes, so your fear of failure will hold you and your community back even when you make an effort. So, the people involved want to keep their jobs, particularly in the ‘Aboriginal industry’.

It is commonly referred to as the ‘Failure Syndrome’. Governments want you to feel so bad about yourself that you’ll have no confidence. But the fact is, you don’t need faith in yourself. It would be best to have confidence in your community to deliver your desired lifestyle. No tangible good will come from your investment of time and effort if community participants don’t believe their time and effort were well spent.

Without that confidence, you’re like a car without fuel setting out on a journey. You look excellent and well-prepared, but have nothing to sustain the journey. However, as a community, you have the power to do what you never could on your own. Once you learn this truth, anytime you think you can’t do anything right, your response could be. Maybe not, but as a community, we can.

When negative people say to you. “You’re unable to do this, so don’t even try. You’ll fail again as you did in the past”, your response should be. “It’s true; without the community, you’re not able to do much, but as a community, we can do all we need”. Don’t harbour the many issues of small regional towns and villages; nurture the few things that can make a real difference.

Home-based and lifestyle businesses are becoming the backbone of regional communities and are vital to creating jobs and new opportunities. So why not put together some quotes that will inspire your community to seek community breakthroughs?

Before you get started, accumulate the right systems, tools, processes, and checklists to help you, and be sure to structure your goals.
