What does a hardworking, underpaid entrepreneur have to be thankful for?

Posted By admin on November 23, 2009

I know what you’re thinking…

 

You’re a small business owner.  You work all of the time and aren’t nearly as much fun as you used to be.  

 

Your business seems to have more valleys than peaks and it’s becoming more and more difficult to remember why you thought this was going to be a good idea.  

 

And now the world wants you to be thankful?  For what?

 

I think that every business owner has felt this way at one point or another, but I know of at least one thing that every entrepreneur can be thankful for — VISION.

 

Entrepreneurs have a vision, a goal in sight.  And we’re willing to work it, breathe it, and live it so that it has a chance to come to life.

 

If you’re like me, you’ve  had several chances this year to do other things.  And you, like me, may have wanted to kick yourself at times, wondering why on earth you didn’t grab hold of some of those opportunities. 

 

But the truth of the matter is that you didn’t go for them because those so called “opportunities” were not a part of your vision.  And, while they may have been perfect for someone, for you, they simply didn’t make sense.

 

So, my fellow entrepreneurs, when you consider what you have to be thankful for his year, don’t forget to give thanks for your own unique vision — and for the courage and strength you exhibit every day as you grow your business. 

 

Wow… that’s three things you can be thankful for!   Join the discussion and write a few more below…

  1. Hi Gail,
    Yes, thank you for your “vision,” the key to moving forward, and for reminding us all to always keep moving toward ours.
