The 4th of July approaches; Independence Day and the fireworks are awaiting a spark. As business owners we are alot like this fledgling country that declared it’s independence from England some 234 years ago. Our forefathers took bold steps, moved to an uncharted land and created a new life, a new world. As business owners we too have taken bold steps into uncharted territory and we are aflood with hope, inspiration and dreams. We like them, encounter many challenges and not every obstacle is overcome and yet we are driven on by our convictions and the belief that we can achieve our goals.
Now is a good time for reflection; while everyone is expressing disastisfaction with the powers that be, why not step back and consider your own contributions. Are you forging trails? Are you creating new possibilities or waiting for someone else to “make it happen”? Is it easier to assign blame and express frustration than it is to take action?
