Take responsibility for your life. When you say yes to life, the potential for complete change is very near the surface. I was not aware of that and most of us are not. Life happens, and because it does, it takes us to all kinds of places that we could not have planned. There is nothing wrong with planning, but always leave yourself flexible to life’s events.
For the past twenty-five years, I have known that starting and managing businesses is the direction I want to take in my life, but I did not always know the road to achieving success for me. Your vision may take you on roads you cannot plan. It’s like traveling to California, not being sure how to get there, and just generally heading west.
