Jason, that's a great insight.... It probably shows that MANY people (everyone?) can become an entrepreneur.... What they need is to be shown how, and given the self-confidence to go through with it.... When you think about it, if you go back in history far enough, probably everybody was an entrepreneur of some kind.... A person was either a farmer, a shoe maker, a butcher, a witchdoctor.... All forms of business! Regarding your employees, this probably ties in to what Dan Butler was saying (elsewhere in the forum).... The best and most talented employees like challenges, and what bigger challenge is there than to go into business for yourself? (I must admit, the challenging aspect of starting your own business has helped to inspire me.... :) Thanks Jason, great post! - Dien |
