I recently received a copy of a magazine that NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) puts out called MyBusiness. A valued client and friend passed it along to me - thanks, Mark!
As an independent business owner, I found it invaluable. I read with great interest, an article called Courage: Where to Find It. It had some key points that I identified with and have tried to implement during my years in business. They come from a book that the author of the article (Doug Hall) wrote called Maverick Mindset. Doug touches on and encourages us to be willing to take riskier, rockier and less-traveled paths to turn our dream business or invention into reality.
Here are the key points (click any of them to read the details of each and the full article online):
In the conclusion of his article, he says "It's not simply enough to have an idea--you have to show it off to make it real." Be proactive rather than passive. Take small steps toward your goal and start today!
Ciao for now, Paula
P.S. I'll be pretty quiet for the next 3 weeks or so. I'll be traveling, partially for business, but mostly for pleasure. I'll post again near the end of October. Until then, I wish you every success as you forge ahead in your business and life!
