"I did it!!" -- you'll exclaim! You are flushed with achievement." -- Sure, there are risks. With these risks come thrills. Thrills of accomplishment - of achievement - of wonder and awe.

"I did it!!" -- you'll exclaim! You are flushed with achievement. You know of only a few who have done as well and you now stand there upon the heights.

-- -- FEEL GOOD ABOUT IT !! -- --

-- "Excellence can be attained if you care more than others think is wise, risk more than others think is safe, dream more than others think is practical, expect more than
others think is possible."

-- "Exceptions always outnumber the rules."

-- Like mountain climbers, you'll work together as buddies. And you'll draw upon your mutual experiences. How about that? Maybe convincing others to join-up? :-) Each of you climbing to the top.

The Entrepreneurial Life: Not So Scary After All

-- It still surprises me when I'm out meeting with people at networking events or conferences and I get the question, "How could you own your own business? That's just too risky?"

-- My reply is, "Not these days." Have you read the paper lately? Large companies are dumping employees in record numbers these days. On average, employees in their 20s will have 3-4 different careers (that's careers, not jobs) before they retire. And we all know people who have walked into work and were blindsided by losing their jobs.

-- Owning your own business a risky proposition? Not these days.

-- Business owners at least control their own destiny. If things start going South, business owners have the opportunity to turn things around. That's the beauty of owning your own business. You are the bus driver and can take your business/life wherever you choose. As an employees, you're the passenger in the back of the bus. When your boss tells you to get off, you must.

-- If you have the financial resources, support of your family and the passion to run your own business, don't let the risk of an unsure future stop you.
