Giving your team cover for their cowardice is foolish. Give them a platform for bravery instead.

You can either fit in or stand out. Not both.

The people who successfully start independent businesses (franchises, I think are a different thing) do it because we have no real choice in the matter. The voice in our heads won't shut up until we discover if we're right, if we can do it, if we can make something happen. This is an art, our art, and to leave it bottled up is a crime.

Alas, there isn't a pain-free way to achieve your goals.

If you are in poor health, you can remedy it. If your personal relationships are unsatisfactory, you can change them for the better. If you are in poverty, you can find yourself surrounded by abundance... Each of you, regardless of position, status, circumstances, or physical condition, is in control or your own experience.

If you want to know what you think of yourself, then ask yourself what you think of others and you will find the answer.

In the next life you will be working with those attitudes that are now yours.
