I have blogged many times about seeing yourself as a successful trucking business. Along with a well written business plan, visualizing is a necessary step also. However, you to go far with your trucking business you will also have to tell yourself out loud what it is you want to see your trucking business become. Here’s a for instance. In the book, The Millionaire Mind, the author talks about not just visualizing where you want to go in life and in this case your business. He also writes that you must say your thoughts out loud so that your mind hears you saying what you want to come to pass. If you are seeing yourself with a six or seven-figure trucking business, then you must also say out loud that you will have that kind of trucking business. If you are thinking you will have nice equipment, a good customer base, and plenty of home time but you say you’re flat broke, your equipment is shot and you can’t stay loaded, well guess what? You will have exactly what you SAY you have and it won’t matter how high you dream. Those dreams will die without substance behind them. My grandmother had a funny saying and it went like this. Wish in one hand and spit in the other and see which one fills up faster. It’s funny but true. The same is with your dream of starting a trucking business. You must dream it, say your dreams out loud, then plan each step of how you will achieve this starting with a trucking business plan. You will then see that keeping your thoughts and your words consistent will bring you the success you really want. Be safe out there!
