		</div>
<p><a href="http://stevendownward.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/frustrated-woman-computer.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-959" title="Frustrated Of Trying To Create Content" src="http://stevendownward.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/frustrated-woman-computer-263x300.jpg" alt="Frustrated Of Trying To Create Content" width="240" height="273" /></a>I&#8217;m sure that if you&#8217;ve been on the internet building a business for any length of time now you would have heard the term <em>&#8220;Creating Content&#8221;</em> or <em>&#8220;Content Creation&#8221;</em>.  All that this means is creating some material of marketing where you are providing some value to the views.  Something like a blog like this one is full of content.  You know, information that will help the readers better themselves in whatever the area the content is in. </p>
<p>So anyways, if you have done any content creation like making a video or writing an article, I&#8217;m sure that you would have realized that it&#8217;s not always the easiest thing to do.  Creating content actually means that you need to have something of value to share. </p>
<p>Now I know that <span style="text-decoration: underline;">everyone has value to share</span> that will help others but I also know that it doesn&#8217;t always pop into our heads when we want to do something like create a new post on our blog or get infront of that video camera. </p>
<p>What I wanted to share with you is how to get around this.  To stop this blockage from happening because there is a real easy way to do this.  Every single &#8220;guru&#8221; out there apairently does this so why can&#8217;t you?</p>
<p>Well you can and all you need to do is <strong>actively learn new things</strong>.  Let me explain this a little more&#8230;</p>
<p>When we&#8217;re going out there and creating new content what we are actually doing is being a leader.  We&#8217;re stepping up and saying to the whole world (well, internet world anyways <img src='http://stevendownward.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8-)' class='wp-smiley' title="Ever Tried Creating Content And You Dont Know What To Say???" /> ) is that I know something about this topic and I can guide people through this with ease.  This is being a leader. </p>
<p>And what&#8217;s the secret to being a <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>continual leader</em></span>?  It&#8217;s through <span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em>continually learning</em></span>. </p>
<p>Think about this for a minute, really, think about this.  If I went to you and I took all of your information, everything that you know, why would I follow you?  I wouldn&#8217;t.  I would have no need to.  I now would know everything that you know so I would have no more need to listen to you.</p>
<p>If you want to always have new powerful content to share and to put out there to attract people back to your sites and to your business, learn something.  And I don&#8217;t mean go read someone else&#8217;s article and then just re-write it.  Actually take something that you learn and apply it then share from your experience. </p>
<p>That is what I have done over and over again.  Shared from what I have applied into my life. </p>
<p>To recap here, the secret to constantly creating new content is to be constantly learning new things.  The more that you can learn, then more that you can share and the more that you share on the internet, the more people will come back to your site.  That&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve found anyways. </p>
<p>Talk later</p>
<p>Steven Downward</p>
<p>PS:  I know that August is almost wrapping up so I hope that your summer has gone really well.  And to practice this concept of creating content from what you&#8217;ve learnt and experienced, I would love to hear one thing that you learned this summer.  Just write it in the comment section below.  This way, you&#8217;ll start to get some practice at this content creation from things that you&#8217;ve experienced in your life.  <img src='http://stevendownward.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' title="Ever Tried Creating Content And You Dont Know What To Say???" /> </p>

				<img src="http://api.tweetmeme.com/imagebutton.gif?url=http%3A%2F%2Fstevendownward.com%2Ftruth-of-entrepreneurs%2F&amp;source=stevendownward&amp;style=normal&amp;service=bit.ly" height="61" width="50" title="The Plain Old Truth Of Being An Entrepreneur" alt=" The Plain Old Truth Of Being An Entrepreneur" /><br />
			</a>
		</div>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">There is a very big truth when it comes to being an entrepreneur.  People that are entrepreneurs know and expect this truth.  They understand that it is just a part of being an entrepreneur.  And the truth is this:</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">&#8220;YOU WILL ALWAYS RUN INTO CHALLENGES, ROADBLOCKS, AND SETBACKS AS YOU BUILD YOUR BUSINESS.&#8221;</span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It is really as simple as that. Being an entrepreneur means that you understand and accept this truth.  If you do not accept it, you are probably not really an entrepreneur but more of an employee that wants to be their own boss.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">I know that in my time in business, I was not always an entrepreneur.  I would have plans that I were sure were going to workout and they failed miserably.  Back then, this was very hard for me.  I felt that if I made a plan, the plan had to work out.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So when something like major marketing effort ended up falling through or a partner of mine ended up walking on me, I use to think the worst.  I use to think that it was the end; the business was going to crash or the traffic that I was getting would be gone.  These are both things that point towards not being a true entrepreneur.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong>SO HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU ARE AN ENTREPRENEUR???</strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">It really is very simple.  In my opinion, it all has to do with your mindset.  That is it, how you think.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">If you have something happen to you or to your business, like a partner walking out on you, and you keep moving forward, you know that you are an entrepreneur.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Do you see what I am saying here?  You are the one that controls what you feel about any situation so if something bad happens to you or to your business, you decide the result.  The result might be that you go out and find another partner, it might mean that you look for some other type of marketing that can make up for what fell.  The point is, it&#8217;s up to you.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So being an entrepreneur means that you are open and ready to be flexible to the challenges that will come up.  And believe me, you will have challenges.  There will be times that you find things are not going your way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Just remember to look at it like an entrepreneur.  Solve the problem that has come up and keep moving forward.  This is what myself and every other successful entrepreneur that I know has done.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><span style="color: #ff0000;">THEY MOVE THROUGH THE CHALLENGE AND COME OUT ON TOP.   <img src='http://stevendownward.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif' alt=':lol:' class='wp-smiley' title="The Plain Old Truth Of Being An Entrepreneur" />  </span></em></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">So to your success my friend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">Steven Downward</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;">PS: I am sure that you have had a challenge in your life.  A problem that you have had to overcome for your business.  I would love to hear about one of them and </span><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="font-size: small;">how you handled it</span></span><span style="font-size: small;">. This is the most important thing, how you handled it, so please share it down below in the comment section.</span></p>

<p>There is a reason for every single business on the planet.  The person that started that business was wanting to do something.  They were wanting to achieve some sort of a goal.  But in order to achieve this goal they need to have some sort of an idea as to how they are going to do it.</p>
<p>This is known as your business vision.  The map, or vision, that you are wanting to have your business look like.  With out this vision, you are dead in the water.</p>
<p>So many people go out there and start a business because they have some dream that they want to acomplish.  But they never really create a vision for that business, so they end up running around like a chicken with their head cut off and never really reach their goal.</p>
<p>I created this video here to help me to explain it to you more simplistically.</p>
<p>[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3L1DUPa_Rk[/youtube]</p>
<p>So like I said, by creating a map as to what you want your business to look like, you start to engage the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration and your business starts to flow smoother.</p>
<p>Take the time to draw out what you want your business to look like.  It will make a world of difference on you knowing where you need to head and what you need to really focus on.</p>
<p>Have a great one.</p>

<p>One of the people that has taught me the most about leadership is an author by the name of John C. Maxwell.  He has written well over 20 books on all sorts of different areas of business and success.</p>
<p>In his book &#8220;The 21 Irrefutable Laws Of Leadership&#8221; he has an entire chapter dedicated to a law of leadership called &#8220;The Law Of The Lid&#8221;.  Now this law is something that every person that is wanting to build a business and create really success for themselves needs to understand.</p>
<p>So check out what this law is really saying about being in the home based business industry.</p>
<p>[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cipQciU5Xkg[/youtube]</p>
<p>This is something that is absolutely hugh in regards to This industry.  There are way to many people out there in this industry that are not taking the time to develop themselves as leaders.  They have this mentality that they will just happen to run into someone that is a super star as opposed to them developing themselves into being a real leader and attracting the right people into their live.</p>
<p>To Your Success</p>

<p>PS: If you feel that leadership is important for people in the home based business industry, then please, ReTweet this and help me out in training people to shave success in the industry.<br />
