Count your Blessings
It's not what you don't have that will prevent you from starting a new business or growing an existing one, it's not using the "things you have".
Each one of us has been blessed with many gifts; the secret to success is putting them to use. I visit with many people who want to start a business and they give me a long list of : "have- nots" as the reasons they can start. A similar list is also given to me when I ask existing businesses why they are not growing.
I encourage everyone to make a list of what they have; list everything from family, to good health, to a desire to succeed, to a good idea, etc... These are the tools in your box with which we have to build a solid foundation. I once was challenged to create my list and was asked to list at least 100 things and then to prioritize them.
The next step is to write, next to each item, how that can be used to grow your business.
This Thanksgiving week is a good time to count our blessings. What an awesome family exercise this is, if before the meal, everyone took a few minutes and started their list (children as well as adults) and then shared them.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving and make it a successful today.
