    About this ebook

    Have you just started a business and are in the infancy stage?  Maybe you're an established business looking for something new and fresh to take your sales and business to the next level?  This book can touch a wide gamut of experience.  It will touch on things you might be familiar with, but never implemented into your business.  It could even touch on things you never considered. 

    I'd love to take you along through my journey—what I've found useful, what I've found irrelevant, and how to set yourself up for entrepreneurial business success.

      Entrepreneurial Business Success - Matt Weik

      Introduction

      Have you just started a business and are in the infancy stage?  Maybe you’re an established business looking for something new and fresh to take your sales and business to the next level?  This book can touch a wide gamut of experience.  It will touch on things you might be familiar with, but never implemented into your business.  It could even touch on things you never considered. 

      So, who am I?  Well, I’m no Gary Vaynerchuk, Richard Branson, Mark Cuban, or any other multi-millionaire or billionaire for that matter.  I’m simply a guy who has been through the ups and downs in his own personal business and who wants to share my own very personal experiences during the process.  I’ve been on the highest highs and the lowest of lows in order to grow my business (Weik Fitness, LLC).  I’ve found success and have been through failure.  Yet, the one thing that keeps me going is knowing that through failure, I have an opportunity to learn and grow as a businessman, entrepreneur, and as an individual.

      I’d love to take you along through my journey—what I’ve found useful, what I’ve found irrelevant, and how to set yourself up for entrepreneurial business success. 

      What’s Your Definition of Success?

      There are so many different ways for people to feel successful, that it truly comes down to what your individual definition is.  I wish I could tell you exactly what success means, but I can’t.  Each of us has our own definition in our head of what success means to us personally. 

      The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines success as a favorable or desired outcome; also, the attainment of wealth, favor, or eminence. 

      There’s one thing that I feel the definition left out and that’s happiness.  You don’t need to be an A-list celebrity to be defined or labeled as being successful.  You don’t even need to have mounds of money in the bank.  But, only you can define what success means for you.  Is it based off materialistic things?  Fancy cars?  A big house?  A watch box full of Rolex’s?  Or is it based on your happiness and knowing what you’re doing is making a difference in the lives of others?  Only you can answer that question.

      So close you can TOUCH it

      We can all look at our accomplishments, the long hours we put in working on a project until it was finally completed for a client.  Maybe the main goal was making a certain amount of money in a given month or year.  Or as mentioned earlier, maybe it was buying that fancy car that you’re now driving around in. 

      All of these things are tangible extrinsic items.  None of them are truly intrinsic rewards that fuel you from within.  Yet, some people find success through happiness.  Below is an example.

      I’m sick of chasing someone else’s dream

      John worked a normal 9-5 job in corporate America.  He was good at what he did and made $150,000 a year.  However, John absolutely hated his job regardless of the success he has had.  John would go home every night; his dinner would be plated and his wife and kids were thrilled to see him as he put down his briefcase and sat down at the dinner table. 

      Later that night after the kids went to bed, John would distance himself from his spouse, and she would frequently find him sitting alone with a glass of scotch and the bottle not too far out of his reach.  He wasn’t happy, you could tell by the way he acted.  John hated his job.  There’s nothing John would want more than to be able to quit his job and do something he was passionate about.  The stress and hate for his job created tension between John and his wife.  It wasn’t coming from a place of anger toward her or something she did, more so it was the frustration and exhaustion of working a job he didn’t enjoy. 

      John was considered the breadwinner of his family.  He was the only one to go to college and get that amazing paying job that everyone had hoped he would achieve.  Everyone was so proud of him, yet he hated his life.  Until one day.

      One Friday morning John walked into the office, sat down in his comfy leather chair and stared out the window from his high-rise office building overlooking the city.  He was on top of the world—or at least it appeared that way on the outside.  Inside, John was barely holding it together.  He walked to his boss’s office, shook his boss’s hand, said thank you, put his laptop on the desk and walked out of the office building—never to return.  John quit and left his success in that building. 

      What you didn’t know was that John had a vision to start his own company one day.  The day he walked away from his good-paying job was the day he put his vision into motion and built his own company. 

      The first year of his start-up was rough—but that’s normal in business when you’re just trying to stay afloat and keep the lights on.  Many don’t even make a salary for the first several years of business.  It’s hard.  However, John ended up making $50,000 in year one of his start-up.  A pay-cut of $100,000 compared to his previous 9-5.  Financially John was going backward, however, John’s life couldn’t be better.  So, he had to cut back on some things financially.  Who cares?  He made it work.  Rather than paying for a lawn service, John started cutting his own grass.  Instead of paying for a cleaning service, John and his wife would clean the house themselves.  They made sacrifices.  Everyone makes sacrifices. 

      John wasn’t working 9-5.  His days now started at 6 in the morning, he would take a break for dinner and to play with his kids before they headed off to bed.  He would spend some time with his wife, and then he would be back in his office until midnight before heading to bed himself.  John was working more hours for less money, but he couldn’t have been happier.  The lesser income meant nothing to him.  He found his happiness through spending more time with his kids, being a better husband to his wife, he didn’t drink as much anymore, and overall, he seemed to be enjoying life again. 

      Now, John’s business will eventually find the exponential growth that he’s looking for, but John created his own success, and that was through removing a negative piece of
