what separates not only the entrepreneur from the ordinary worker, but what determines ultimately how successful or not the entrepreneur will be. The process or journey, is the driving force in reaching any goal, it is the one thing we actually have control over. Many startup businesses find themselves going out of business not because their product or service is not viable, but simply due to the fact that they did not focus on the process of being successful as much as they focused on the goal of being successful.

Much of the intrigue associated with being an entrepreneur is the freedom to chart one’s own course,

choose which adventure you will seek today, tomorrow, next week, or next year. The joys and benefits

of being the master of one’s own destiny far outweigh the sleepless nights, the constant number

crunching, and all those entrepreneurial curses we all face at some point or another.

Remember, as you steer your way towards the shores of your dreams...hold on, hold on, and hold on

some more! If by chance you should ever find yourself being thrown towards the railing of the ship,

never fear, simply hold on to your faith, believe and allow your inner compass to stay the course! You

are the captain of your ship, the navigator of your dreams, you are… an entrepreneur!
