Mistakes Most Entrepreneurs Make Pt. 2

Details are coming soon, but I want you to mark your calendars for Thursday, August 20th for my newest teleseminar “10 Mistakes that Most Entrepreneurs Make”. Be sure to sign up for our RSS feed and/or for Biz Tips for Solo Business Owners and Entrepreneurs (which you can sign up for in the top right corner and get a free ebook too) to be be notified of the details.

To get the juices flowing, I am going to discuss just one of these mistakes now. During the call we will go a little more in-depth and also discuss how you can shift your thinking.

Lack of Vision

As I was surfing the net today, I came across this article “Who Gave Day Dreamers a Bad Name?”. Perhaps it struck a chord with me because I AM a dreamer and a visionary.

As I was reading this article these sentences really stuck with me “Little children aren’t afraid to ask. They aren’t afraid to demand what they want. They dream, and the sky is the limit for them. But somewhere between childhood and the teenage years, these children quit dreaming.” This is so true! I look at my grandchildren and they aren’t afraid to tell me what they want and they do so with a wide smile and laughing all the way. They have not yet faced the rejection what comes with the word no and how it can dash dreams in an instant.

We can all take lessons from the children around us. Let’s start to view the world through their eyes. Don’t be afraid to have a vision and to allow the vision to come to fruition. Sometimes all we need to do is speak it. Granted I am not the biggest Microsoft fan, but remember years ago the vision that Bill Gates made public? The one where he said that he wanted a personal computer in every house? I remember people laughing at that comment. But look at us now. Did we ever stop to think “what if Bill Gates never made that comment? Would we be where we are today?” Others might not agree, but I am not sure that we would be as technologically advanced as we are today. Because sometimes it takes the spoken word to bring things to fruition.
