Everyone can tell you the risk. An entrepreneur can see the reward.

You cannot be successful without failure.

Life will get in the way. Count on it. Be prepared for it. Maintain focus and press on towards your goal.

Giving honest and well-intended feedback is often confused with being mean. It's not mean; it's nice.

If you fail, learn, and move on, you're growing.

You cannot improve your future if you are not willing to try something new and risk making mistakes and learning from them

If you cannot sell, you cannot be an entrepreneur. If you cannot sell, you cannot raise money. if the thought of sales terrifies you, get a job at a dept. store and start there. Or get a job with a company like Xerox that requires that you go around to businesses and knock on doors. As your courage increases, you may want to try a company in network marketing or direct sales that is willing to train you.
