At the heart of any small business, is the entrepreneur (thats YOU 🙂
When working with entrepreneurs, I’m am acutely aware at every step that we are talking about your vision, your wealth, and your business.
Your path is personal. And while entrepreneurs may share similar obstacles on the path, it remains a deeply, personal experience.
Example
If you read business books, you will notice that the advice coming from Steve Jobs, Warren Buffet, Donald Trump, Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and others, at times seems to contradict each other. In one book, they will talk about having a long term plan and waiting for decades. In another, they will advocate action first, thinking later. And the next one, will ask you to just get out there, talk and make it happen.
The reason why the advice is contradictory is because each of these business icons are on their respective path. They started and built their business, following their path, that is personal to them.
Once you appreciate that you bring your talents, knowledge, skills and experience, to your path, you can make decisions that work for you and leverage your strengths on the path.
You don’t have to be anyone else but yourself on the path to start and build your business.
