Businesses, like babies and books, need nurturing, time, energy, love, planning and, yes, money to develop, grow and prosper.

Every day we're given opportunities, some of us see them and some are too busy to notice.

The most important point to remember in developing self-confidence is to take responsibility for who we are. This empowers us. We can change anything, do anything, and be anything when we assume full responsibility for ourselves.

Through adversity, not only are we given opportunity to discover our inner strength, we are also given the gift of foresight so we can shine a light for others who go through the experience after us.

Don't hang onto anything too tightly-all things must change and you have to allow room for them to grow and blossom.

Surround yourself with people who are really good and really passionate about what they do regardless of what it is...positivity and passion make a powerful combination.
