Courage

The other day I had a business associate come to me and poured her heart on the struggles she was having. Not only in her business but in life. She had according to her struggled with enthusiasm for anything, had a hard getting started with her day etc....

After several minutes of this, she had basically confirmed that
she had a lot of fear, it was holding her back, and it's
been going on for a long time.

She went on to tell me she had a tough time asserting herself and
That the people around her weren't supportive of her goals
and dreams.

I'm sure you've felt like this one time in your life and maybe
even now.

We talked for about 10 minutes and I shared a little bit about
some of the big challenges I had early on.

Everyone thought I was crazy to pursue my dreams.

While my family loved me, they too, didn't know if I'd ever
make it.

Many people on the outside don't realize what an entrepreneur
really goes through to make his mark in this world.

They see the success, but they don't see the struggle.

We were at the end of our conversation and she asked me, "Joe,
how did you do it, how did you keep going?"

I thought for a second and then I gave her my answer.

COURAGE.

Yes.

COURAGE.

You can never give up.

You can never stop fighting for what you want in your heart.

You can never listen to naysayers.

YOU have to have the COURAGE to live your dreams.

It takes COURAGE.

The REWARD goes to those to take the RISK and keep moving
forward.

You and I both know YOU have it inside of you to create a
masterpiece with your life.

You just might need to have a little more courage, right?

Listen, I have fear also. Everybody does.

The game is having the COURAGE to go through it.

When I received an email from her last night, she thanked me for
reminding her that what she needed was a little bit
more COURAGE.

She needed to BELIEVE in herself just a little bit more.

You're going to accomplish great things. It might not be easy,
but with courage, perseverance and knowledge, you will do amazing
things, won't you?

Take one ACTION today with your business that will move YOU closer to your dreams.
