I agree with you on both counts above. And, life does turn out to be what we make of it, doesn't it.

There are two additional places to suggest for people to read additional inspiring stories. One is a newsletter recently started by Ron Ruiz (of www.free-publicity.com fame). Ron's new paid-subscriber newsletter is called The Business Fa$tlane. He has a tag line under the title that is "Fascinating and unusual businesses you've never heard of that are making good money right now." Ron is interested in knowing about more stories. Contact him with any suggestions you have.

The second suggestion I'd like to offer for your reading and inspirational pleasure is a book recently released called "Start Small Finish Big," by Fred DeLuca, co-owner and CEO of Subway Sandwiches, and John Hayes. There are 21 other stories in this book besides Fred's. I was fortunate enough to be among them. Each and every story tells a completely different tale, each from a unique perspective. Each one has something in it to incorporate into our own lives. And no silver spoons among them !! And I also get no royalties on that book, so I'm passing the referral on because it's a good read :--)

Happy reading.
Paulette
