Well guys,
as I sit here drinking my first coffee of the morning, I can’t help but think
back on this past year. 2016 has now come and gone. For many it will be a year
they would like to forget. Many of our favorite people passed away this year,
many more passed that weren’t known to the general population…may they all rest
in peace and suffer no more. 🙋
For others
like myself dreams turned into reality, goals were met, and businesses were
born from random ideas. Small business is often a hard way to earn a living,
but, it is also the most satisfying way to earn a living. There is nothing
better to me than taking an idea from scratch to reality, watering it, and
watching it grow. If you have an idea for a business and you are passionate
about it, chances are there are others out there just as passionate about it as
you are. Take the next step, make it happen. Don’t live with the regret of not
trying for that is a worse feeling than failure. 🙋
I think part
of my success this year has been the fact that at some point in time I started
believing in myself. Confidence is the most valuable tool in your tool box. If
you have put off building on an idea you might have had for years, what are you
waiting on? The problem with waiting for everything to be just perfect is that
your idea is probably going to die with you. Why not build a legacy to leave
behind instead of a notebook of ideas that someone will one day throw in the
trash can. 🙋
Now when I
talk about success, does this mean I have, “made it to the big time?” Not even
close. But, like Frosty the snowman I am putting one foot in front of the other
and guess what, I am moving forward. My favorite piece of advice I have ever
heard was when Doc Holiday told Wyatt to live, live right up there, live for
me. What a great attitude. Join with me now and let’s make 2017 the absolute
best year so far. 🙋
