Look around and do it!
The next time you are out and about, take a look around you.
Look at all the things.
I’m not saying anything negative about things – but imagine what it would be like without some of the more important ones.
Look at the trucks that carry food, clothing, furniture, and everything else that you may need from town to town. Look at the buildings, the roads, the bridges, the shops and cars and signs.
Granted, we might not appreciate all of the multitude of accumulation that has arisen over the past 100 years or so, but my point is:
Someone had to get all this stuff made and put into use.
I am reading the book from Napoleon Hill – Think and Grow Rich
Without all of the infrastructure we have, you would have to go to the farmland for eggs, to Nebraska for bread, to a dairy for milk and cheese, and to Florida for orange juice.
Amazing, if you think about it.
Someone stood up and said “I am going to start a trucking company to deliver oranges from Florida to New York”. Or “I am going to put in electrical wires all around the town, put in a steam turbine, and provide people with electricity”.
Those people were just like you and me. They are and were people who had a vision of something, stood up, and decided to do it. Some of them had money to start with, some knew where to get money, and some just took their car, drove it to Florida, picked up as many oranges as they could squeeze into their Model A, and drove it back to sell it to local stores.
Those people started companies, and started to make the world what it is (for better or worse).
Those people followed their dreams, even if their friends and families told them they were crazy.
Those people succeeded, both personally and monetarily, and did it how THEY wanted to do it.
We who aspire to be entrepreneurs, and who are them, and who own small businesses – we are those people.
We all can do it – just stand up, say what you want to do -
and do it.
