The Natural Limits of Entrepreneurship
The Natural Limits of EntrepreneurshipAuthor: Geoff Fickeby: Geoff Ficke I have had the opportunity to work with literally hundreds of individuals who have attempted to become successful entrepreneurs. It is always fascinating to observe the difficulties that always confront people seeking to expand their range from one field of endeavor to another and how they handle obstacles. If it was easy everyone would try and the majority would succeed. In reality, only a few try and far fewer succeed. I am reminded of a story about a United States Naval Academy graduate who rose to become a Fleet Admiral.
One day he was on Chesapeake Bay on a friend’s 40 foot sail boat. The owner asked the Admiral if he would like to dock the sail boat. “No way”, said the Admiral.
“I would not know how to handle this little boat in these winds and currents, you are experienced with her, you handle her”. This is a classic example of a man knowing his limitations. Most people have some area of expertise in their arsenal of life’s experiences. They often utilize this expertise in pursuit of a hobby or in their work. The opportunity to hone and improve skills in a specific area where they have talent often leads to innovation that can be commercialized. We all know the person who is able to build things with their hands. The artisan craftsmanship that they produce can become a lucrative business or enriching hobby.
The entrepreneurial craftsman, or artist, enjoys the wonderful luxury of being able to make their living doing something that they enjoy and find fulfilling.

Some Dieting BasicsSome Dieting BasicsAuthor: John WilliamsI would like to share with you some dieting basics that everyone should know. First of all know that there is no magic pill that you can take that will make you lose weight. Although it would be nice, you need to realize the truth of the matter is that most weight loss pills are only a waste of your money, ineffective, and can actually be harmful to your health. Losing weight is going to be work, but if done properly it can be delicious and fun - and once you start getting the results that you wanted, you'll be hooked and love it! There are some pills out there that can boost your metabolism, which can aid in weight loss, but if you don't do the big things which are exercise and eating right, then you will still not lose weight. |
