The joy of being your own person

While it's true that entrepreurship requires thoughtful consideration, there is little to surpass the joy of being able to do your own thing your way. If you buy an existing business that has employees, there is nothing so satisfying as the opportunity to develop a group the way "they" want to be lead. If your bent is to start something from scratch, perhaps your first billing or your first service or product delivery will fill you with an incredible sense of accomplishment. Whatever you do, your success will have much to do with your being enthusiastic, yet at peace with your endeavor. Fear works like a magnet. And the more we work to overcome fear the most attractive we become to the market, the opportunity, the money or whatever we seek to bring into reality.

Yes, freedom isn't free, but it's worth the price. The ability to call the shots and to devote your energy to whatever you love to do, is worth the risk that is required if the reward is to be realized. As you re-read Carl Jung's quote, remember that your vision will become a reality only when you look inside yourself, into your own heart. For within we find the answers, the direction, the insight that we need for success. Or to quote Emerson, "Nothing can bring you peace, but yourself."

Next time: Do I have a marketable product or skills?

Good day and good work,

Norman

Who looks outside, dreams
Who looks inside, awakens"
