Are you a "Player" or "Go-Getter?"

There are so many times when dealing with new clients I automatically place a title on them. It's either a "Player" or a "Go-Getter." The sad thing about it is that there are more players than go-getters. They start off so excited about starting there own business, everything's map out, then they procrastinate for the silliest reasons. Searching the internet on "how-to's" and "should i's", it becomes a regular practice.

Instead jumping around from site to site reading about everyone else's situation, find one, reliable source that you can submit your questions to. There's a site that I visit all the time where I get valuable info on building websites called http://www.2createawebsite.com/. I joined the forum and ask any question I need answered in this arena. Not only are they super fast on replying, they're very knowledgeable in their responses.

Aspiring entrepreneurs aren't willing to go for it anymore. They get caught up in this trap where, they spend 4-6 hours reading forums. There's not enough of those that are willing to get their knees dirty by going out there and making it work.

There will come a day and time where the Players will get tired of playing. However, at that point it may be too late. The perfect opportunity they had to start their own business may be given to someone else in their niche or market (a go-getter). This person will succeed a lot faster and more prosperously than normal as they want it more. Their confidence is stronger as they believed in themselves enough to just do it! I'm not saying that you shouldn't prepare yourself thoroughly. But if preparing for you is just surfing the net, reading forums for a year, looking at everyone's site, changing your mind on your original ideas...you get my point.

Entrepreneurial Spirits, it's time that you stop making excuses. If you are afraid you must own up to it. If you have the vision but don't know what you're doing, you must let it be known and seek assistance.

When you want something, set aside all childish ways, throw away your comfort zone and make it work. I can testify to the feeling of that opportunity passing you by. When you know it's not going to return and that that was your once in a lifetime moment...it's the worst feeling you may ever feel.

Your Business is Our Job!

Enhance Your Business Today!

Attention all business owners, in my recent research for presentable firms, I've noticed a continual pattern. Many of us aren't looking up to par. I don't want to offend anyone as we all have our niche and expertise, however, some firms are just very "amateur looking" ...not presentable. In our web presence it shows when we do things that are out of our expertise. The creative streak isn't shining. The worst part is that when you run across these same sites 6-months to a year later, THEY STILL LOOK THE SAME! We are afraid to ask for help.

It's Okay! There's help! When it comes to branding a business there's a time when one must take the back seat and ask someone else to stear. I did! It changed many things for me...most importantly gave me mounds of confidence when presenting my business to others. OnTask Assistants are pros in this area. We are constantly reaching out to fellow business professionals in this area.

Through our Creative Design services you have access to fresh and innovative logos, flyers, business forms and much more at extremely discounted prices. You may wonder why we do this. Well, we do a lot of referring of clients and if your firm isn't "presentable" we will "refuse to refer." We get a lot of clients...it's that simple. We scour the net for firms that are confident-looking, professional-looking, and knowledgeable-looking. Of course, you don't have to depend on our business to find you and refer you but it's a pretty cool thing! From one business owner to another. From a friend to a friend.

OnTask Assistants have an extreme passion for helping other businesses. Like we always say "Your Business is Our Job!"
