I recently became acquainted with a retiree who in his day, was a very successful business owner. Over the course of the weekend, he and I discussed some of my consulting clients and their challenges and opportunities. It was truly a pleasure to speak to this man and I look forward to learning more from him in the future.
As I was leaving his home, he gave me a book to read written by a man named Leon Danco, the title of the book is "Inside the Family Business".
I'd like to share an excerpt with you:
" Who is this guy, this"enterepreneur"? Why and how did he get himself into this mess he is in?
He asks himself the same question night after night as he stares at the ceiling telling himself over and over that he's really a hairy-chested rugged individualist, striking off on his own path, hacking out a trail never before traveled. He's a hero, the bearer of the American Dream.
And from the other side of the bed, his wife looks at him and knows that he is scared half to death"
If that does not sum up the struggles and journey of an entrepreneur, I don't know what does. we are all in it together trying to build and create our dream enterprise to provide us a living and sense of accomplishment. It is a wonderful and scary journey
