Meaning behind my blog name

Sue and I have had our business for a little over a year now.  During this time we’ve tried to reprogram our brains to think like business people as opposed to employees.  In a time when many people want to be able to say “I have a job” Sue and I are anxiously awaiting being in the driver’s seat of our own destiny. 

Don’t get me wrong, being employed is a great thing, and probably the right thing for the majority of the population.  There is something to be said about putting in your time, getting paid for your time, and once you are out the door you forget about that job (or try to).  Job’s are great, but they are not going to get you’re a$$ retired on a beach living the life you want to live. 

Your business is something else.  If you are going to be successful you need to be thinking about that business at all times, working that business at all times.  Setbacks and disappointments are inevitable and someone without the right mindset will give in and not make it.  Will we be successful?  I don't know, but we are not giving up just yet!  I am still struggling with the setbacks and disappointments.  I have to learn to not take them so personally.  Sue is a much more positive individual and she is far ahead of me in the game.  I need to follow her lead. 

This is where reprogramming comes in.

A major part of reprogramming your mind is through positive reinforcement.  This reinforcement can come from books, CD’s, videos, and listening to positive and successful people in your desired field.  You might be thinking – "Oh brother self help books.  Only suckers spend money on that BS!"  I thought the same thing, but that’s what successful people do.  They read, listen, watch, live, etc. self help and positivism (is that a word?) so there must be something to it.

If you have ever delved into the topic of self help, becoming successful, etc. you are sure to come across the term “VISION”.  One needs vision if one is to succeed, reach ones goal or achieve “VICTORY”.

So V2V is short for “VISION TO VICTORY”.

·         Late note:  I wrote this early Sunday morning before church.  Whether it was a strange coincidence or a sign I don’t know but the sermon’s theme for the day was “VISION SUNDAY”.  Either way I thought it was pretty cool.
