A magic genie suddenly appears before you saying, "I will grant you but one wish in the amount of money of your choosing."
How much will you ask for?
The real question then becomes, how much is enough?
The "enoughness question" can be a difficult one to answer. It's not one which you can just simply rattle off an answer to, as it requires some thought, quite a bit in fact. It requires that you know what you really want out of life, and what you believe to be most important. It is necessary that you have definition and clarity about what you truly want to accomplish.
This will be different for everybody.
Many people come to entrepreneurship with a kind of baggage, certain standards and rules they've learned, picked up and applied along the way. These "standards" have been gleaned and cultivated from years of previous experiences. These ideals then become engrained. Although they may have been useful at times, what this actually does for the entrepreneur is limit creativity, aspiration and development.
Placing yourself "in a box" places limits upon true business growth potential.
New as well as aspiring entrepreneurs tend to limit their goals and aspirations. While anxious and excited, they are also nervous and fearful. They are afraid that they are going to fail. Due to lack of confidence, they limit business and lifestyle goals believing that they are unable to be true to themselves until they accomplish more.
Certainly, it is essential to be realistic when setting your business goals. However, it is also essential to not be limited by lack of confidence in what you can possibly achieve.
Be honest with yourself about what you really want with respect to business and lifestyle, and the level you want to play on. It you want it, you can achieve it. Limiting your vision simply because you are uncertain about whether you will succeed, will limit your business building success.

Intrapreneurship Success - Case Study Intro - Pr1me Computer Success Story
Intrapreneurship Success - Case Study Intro - Pr1me Computer Success Story
Introduction of the Intrapreneurial creation and impact of PR1ME Leasing Division
The underlying concepts and ideas of Intrapreneuring or intrapreneurship have been present in many corporations in the United States, and around the world, for many decades, even before the term was used in the mid 1980's. Pinchot (1985) made the term well known in his book entitled "Intrapreneuring." Steve Jobs, Apples' Chairman then and now, used the word, or term, "Intrapreneurship" in his September 1985 "Newsweek" article: "The Macintosh team was what is commonly known as intrapreneurship-only a few years before the term was coined - a group of people going, in essence, back to the garage, but in a large company." Back in 1982, Dr. Haller wrote his master thesis on the "Intrapreneurship Success" of PR1ME Computer Inc in the late 1970's and early 1980's.
This the overview of Intrapreneurship Success of the corporate entrepreneurial or Intrapreneurial venture within it's parent company.
There are now many more examples of successful Intrapreneurship in corporations since this pioneering intrapreneurial adventure by a small computer company in the late 1970's. This article shares an overview of an inside, first hand, in depth the details of the four year journey of the Intrapreneurship success of the creation of PRIME Leasing Division, within the rapidly growing public corporation.
The summary overview of the details of the financial and marketing impact of creating one specific captive leasing and finance subsidiary, PR1ME™ Leasing will be shared in this article of INTRAPRENEURSHIP SUCCESS. This intrapreneurial endeavor grew the NYSE listed, "super-mini" computer company, PR1ME™ Computer, Inc. This principally quantitative research documents the intrapreneurial creativity to create PR1ME Leasing, which helped to shorten the "super-minicomputer" sales cycle, increase profits on individual computer sales transactions, increase sales, and provide tax shelters to its parent corporation. PR1ME Leasing helped it's parent company to grow more rapidly and profitably, and was one of the key accelerants boosting it's parent company, PRIME, to be the Number 1 performing NYSE list stock in 1980.
One of the major challenges was that the Leasing Division was under the direct control of the Vice President of Finance of PRIME Computer, Inc., not the Vice President of Sales or Marketing. Having the commission-driven PR1ME Leasing marketing managers working under the finance department, which was staffed by accountants and financial analysts created a philosophical paradox. This case study by one of the co-founding managers of PR1ME Leasing is a "real world" example of an intrapreneurial venture in its embryonic state. It details the most salient positive and negative aspects of PR1ME Leasing's early growth.
This article tells the inside story of the intrapreneurial creation of PR1ME Leasing, its corporate structure, and statistically documents the impact of the Leasing Division on the sales, profits, and overall corporate performance it's parent company.
This article's author was a co-founder of Prime Leasing Division, within the parent corporation, who used this experience and the results of his research as valuable tools after leaving the company to do other Intrapreneurial ventures for Anaconda-Ericsson Inc., Corona Data Inc. and Entrepreneurial ventures including co-founding, build and then selling a technology firm, RETIX.

Bring Your Inner Entrepreneur to Life
Some people have spent their whole lives dreaming about being their own boss and working from the comfort of their own home, but never quite had the opportunity. Now, with the emergence on the internet as a strong business platform, the opportunity exists for all that have an internet connection. Online business is booming despite the current recession and with a worldwide audience at your fingertips, you can do business in just about any industry you like.
Although the internet is a medium that anyone can use to build a business, one thing you'll want to do first to ensure your success as a business owner, is develop the right entrepreneurial mindset. Working for you can be extremely exciting and rewarding, but it can also be a little challenging at times. Believe it or not, that boss who used to breathe orders down your neck actually served as a motivator, not one you enjoyed, but a motivator nonetheless. Getting yourself in the right mindset is a much more pleasant way of motivating yourself to succeed as an entrepreneur.
Building your positivity and confidence levels are the first steps to getting in the right frame of mind. These two qualities will help immensely throughout your self-created career. Having confidence in yourself and your abilities will give others the confidence to work with you and invest in you. Your positivity will make them want to work with you and make them more enjoyable customers to work with as well. Both of these qualities will help you to set realistic, yet big goals for your business and keep you motivated to work towards them by knowing you will be able to overcome obstacles and challenges you meet along the way.
If you feel your positivity and confidence levels could use a little boost, start a business in something you have a passion for. This way you will enjoy acquiring knowledge on the subject matter and it won't take long for you to feel like an expert in your field. Also create an atmosphere for yourself that you are comfortable working and being yourself in. Just remember that if you want others to believe in your business you must first believe in it yourself.
Developing the right entrepreneurial mindset before launching yourself into the online business world is the best way to ensure your success from the start.

Five Tips to Teen Entrepreneur Success
What makes a teen entrepreneur successful? While young entrepreneurs may be born with some of the traits that will make them a success, many of the skills needed can be learned. This is really no different than what helps entrepreneurs at any age reach their business goals.
The five tips below are general guidelines - not hard and fast rules. Even so, you may find yourself nodding at these basic business qualities. Of course, these tips won't apply to everyone but they are a good way to get off on the right foot and save some of the struggles that can come with starting your own business.
* Be passionate about your idea or product. Having excitement and energy around what you are doing will help in at least two different ways. First, it will help carry you through those days of setting up your business when you may not be earning money just yet. Second, it will come across in your interactions with potential customers, your marketing and how you provide your service or product. The more excited and passionate you are, the more likely you are to get others to at least try your service or product.
* Start small. When we see other stories of teen entrepreneur success, we see the "after" version. This is where their teen business has already grown to a state that is big enough to get press attention. What is often missed is how small these teens started before their business grew. Starting small has several advantages including being able to serve your customers well, improving your product or service through those first customers and not overwhelming your life.
* Have a plan. A business plan that is. It doesn't matter if it is written on a napkin, a piece of notebook paper or bound in a fancy binder. Having a teen business plan forces you to think through the key pieces of your business instead of jumping in and finding out that you were missing something crucial to your success. It can really be done in about 30 minutes but that could be the most important half hour a teen entrepreneur can spend in getting their business off the ground.
* Build good relationships with as many people as you can. Sure, you can start a web business and rarely have to have face-to-face interaction. Even then there will still be customers and customer service. Being able to get along with others is key to a good business. This skill also applies to suppliers and others. They can provide good word-of-mouth referrals even if they are not one of your customers today.
* Get help when you need it. By starting small, teens may be able to run the business on their own at first with little or no help. As the business grows, they may need to get others involved. That could mean hiring others as part of a babysitting or lawn care business or getting professional help through an accountant or lawyer. The key is to recognize when they need to have help so that the service and business don't suffer.
These are five basic tips for teen entrepreneur success, but they are critical to getting started in the right direction. These tips can apply to any teen business or any other entrepreneurial business. Look at your teen business idea and see how you can use these tips to be successful.

Quit Your Job and Start an Online Business by Starting Out on a Part-Time Basis As an Entrepreneur
You may be ready to quit your job, but there are a few things you must consider before taking this drastic step. No matter what the economy is like, replacing your job with a comparable one may be next to impossible. This is where the idea of becoming an entrepreneur comes into play.
Starting your own business was once considered to be extremely risky. Now that the world economy has taken a downturn, working for a large corporation may now seem to be the more risky choice. I believe that starting your own business is a sound move that will lead to more financial security in the future.
Starting an online business makes even more sense, because you can do it on a part time basis while you are still at a job. This will help you to decide what is best for you, depending on your personality and individual situation. You will be able to see how disciplined you are and if you enjoy working from your home office. You can also get used to the idea of being responsible for your own expenses, including medical insurance.
In 2005 I walked away from a career in teaching. I was too young to retire, so I immediately had to start paying for my own medical and dental care. I was also forced to make a schedule for myself so that I would accomplish as much as I had intended to when I decided to do this. I must say that I have no regrets. I cannot imagine ever going back to a job, and now make about three times as much as I did before. I am not alone; I now know many people who also took the leap and decided to start their own business.
Remember that the reason to start an internet business is to give you the time and money to live the life you choose.

Women Entrepreneur Challenges - Top 8 Tips to Get More Done for Your Business in Less Time
Many women entrepreneurs struggle to keep their business afloat while juggling multiple work/life responsibilities. The to-dos are endless, and time limited. There isn't enough of you to go around, as you attempt to be all things, at all times. Managing your home office presents its own unique challenges as household tasks and family needs often crowd your ability to devote consistent time and energy toward your business. Without a game plan to effectively deal with these competing interests, stress, frustration, and ultimately stagnation of your business is inevitable. It is important to understand how to work smarter within your household to maintain momentum, and keep your business thriving.
Here are some PROVEN tips that produce results:
Carve out the time & stick to it
Let's face it, life moves quickly with a busy household. As women business owners, it is essential to become masters of how we spend our time. Start by identifying timeframes that you can commit to consistently. This establishes a rhythm and flow that is good not only for your business, but also your household. Be certain to also choose windows of time when your energy level will allow you to do your best work. Schedule this time on your planner and protect it.
Set goals and make a plan
Every minute matters...waste not, want not. To maximize results, it is essential to decide beforehand, what you will do and how you will do it. I can't tell you the number of times I've "wasted" work time simply because I didn't have a goal for what I wanted to accomplish, and an action plan to make it happen. Be realistic and specific about what you can achieve given the time you have. Get really clear on the objectives you have set forth for the time available to you...nothing more, nothing less.
Prioritize
Sometimes when you are working on your business, you may feel like you are spinning your wheels and getting nowhere fast. Create a to-do list and prioritize it. Often times it can be difficult to discern where to start because all the to-dos look equally important. Start with the BIG stuff - that is those tasks that have the greatest value and impact on the business now. By focusing on these areas first, you will achieve tangible results more quickly.
Stop multi-tasking
As women, we are MASTERS at multi-tasking. However, the time you have set aside for your business is just for that purpose exclusively. The laundry and other household tasks will just have to wait! Pulling yourself in too many directions dilute your energy and efforts toward achieving your goals. I know this is something many of us have to unlearn, but in doing this, I promise you will be able to work on your business so much more effectively.
Focus
Once you have decided your "agenda" for your designated work time, do yourself a favor and stick with it. As new ideas surface, avoid the temptation to venture off course mentally. Jot them down and commit to revisiting them at a later time. Guard against distractions, background noise, and interruptions at all costs. As family members vie for your attention, establish boundaries so that they understand you are simply not available and cannot be disturbed. Remember, your ability to concentrate on the task at hand is key to forward progress.
Get organized
Often times we are running so fast, that we may set things down, but don't always put things where they belong. The time you spend looking for a bill that needs to be paid, or searching for a lost file on the computer, or finding a misplaced important piece of paper, is counterproductive. Organization is a must in order to execute your work plan, without delay. Develop processes and systems (paper or electronic) that facilitate your ability to access information quickly. Remember to involve your family in this process (especially if your work area exists in common space).
Allow your household to help
You can't do it all and do it well. Most highly successful people have a team of people to help them reach their goals quickly and efficiently. You are CEO of your business and your household, so take the lead! Bring your powerful ability to motivate, empower, and inspire to the household to help you do and BE more. Your family is a viable support network and capable of doing more for themselves. Trust this and give them directions for what to do, and how to do it. This will free you up more often to work on your business.
Become a master delegator
Sometimes when we want things just so, we have a tendency to hold things close to the vest and just do it ourselves. As the old saying goes, "If I don't do it, who else will?" Sound familiar? I encourage you to reframe this mindset to avoid burnout down the road. Your goal is to optimize your energy and efforts! Therefore choose those tasks -- whether household or business specific - - that speak to your strengths and greatest assets. Delegate the rest! In the end, your productivity is maximized, energy reserved, and results realized.

Mindset Matters: Entrepreneurial Thought Patterns
For any entrepreneur, the idea of having an online business and seeing a lot of success is generally an appealing one. Unfortunately, if you don't have an entrepreneurial mindset you could really struggle with your online business and it might even fail. Don't let that happen to you. Enjoy business success instead by thinking about things in the right way. The thought patterns of an entrepreneur are a little bit different from the thought patterns of people who aren't interested in having their own business or who don't have the discipline to have their own business. That doesn't mean, though, that those thought patterns can't be learned and used to bring you business success.
The entrepreneurial mindset involves using your intelligence, your education, and your knowledge, but it also involves using your intuition. Everyone has that ability, but few people tap into and use it for their business. They believe in working only with logic and hard figures. Those things are important and shouldn't be ignored, but they need to be coupled with listening to your gut and what direction it's leading you in. Someone with an entrepreneurial mindset also has a lot of drive and determination, and an attitude that keeps them from giving up on their dreams and goals, even when it's difficult or it seems like things are impossible. To have a successful online business, an entrepreneur needs to keep pushing forward, because he isn't going to see business success otherwise.
How a person looks at the world and how they see problems and challenges really does matter when it comes to business success. A person who sees opportunities instead of problems will likely make a better entrepreneur because he knows that he can do something to make his online business work - he just has to figure out what that 'something' is. If you don't have an entrepreneurial mindset, though, all you see are problems that you don't know how to solve. Looking at the world that way can keep you from your dreams and goals and stop you from achieving any business success, so those people who want to have an online business that's a success must pay attention to their thinking.

A person who sees opportunities instead of problems will likely make a better entrepreneur because he knows that he can do something to make his online business work - he just has to figure out what that 'something' is. If you don't have an entrepreneurial mindset, though, all you see are problems that you don't know how to solve. Looking at the world that way can keep you from your dreams and goals and stop you from achieving any business success, so those people who want to have an online business that's a success must pay attention to their thinking.

How the Entrepreneurial Mindset Can Help Your Business
Those looking for success in the world of business and industry wish to be blessed with the entrepreneurial mindset. Although not all are so lucky, the select few understand its magnificent powers and strength. Great business leaders know that the vast majority of their success can be credited back to the expert mindset.
The rough and tumble realm of business can weaken even those with the strongest resolve. If you want to succeed in any field you will need a certain type of mental make-up. Thriving entrepreneurs know that they have a gut instinct for surviving in unforgiving settings. It is this type of mental toughness that prepares you not only for success but the inevitable moments of defeat that all businesses suffer.
It is wise to remember that just because you have a knack for business that does not mean you should always continue with whatever line of work you are currently pursuing. Most profitable entrepreneurs are born out of hard-work, strong work ethic and brilliant minds. However one key component that often gets overlooked is passion. If you do not have a genuine interest and excitement for your particular business, you run the risk of burning out. That is why smart business leaders must remember to continually re-examine the source of their efforts.
Today's online businesses frequently partner up with other popular forms of entertainment, marketing or networking. For instance, social media can add a wealth of revenue options and additional traffic to any website. What one should always remember, however, is that someone came up with the idea of combining the two efforts in the first place. Such novel ideas and calculated risks are what continue to spur online businesses into hotbeds of creativity. Of course they also add to any businesses' vast earning potential, a popular feature amongst entrepreneurs the world over.
With such risks comes the belief that you must continue to try your hand at finding the next great business component. As a result, persistence remains an important factor in the entrepreneurial mindset. Granted failure is always a possibility but to never even try to achieve the impossible would be an even greater failure.

Entrepreneurship and the Home Business Environment
Everywhere you look nowadays, you always hear about venturing into entrepreneurship.
But what is entrepreneurship exactly?
It is actually defined as the process wherein a group or an individual makes an effort to pursue opportunities to satisfy needs and wants through uniqueness and innovation. Some people have the misconception that entrepreneurs are gamblers in the sense that they take risks and invest in industries that have no record of success. However, the truth is, these entrepreneurs take calculated risks that have the potential to provide them with huge returns.
I have found the key factors you need to remember about entrepreneurship are:
1. Opportunities,
2. Innovation, and
3. Growth.
An entrepreneur sees opportunities in environmental trends and changes that nobody has seen before, and pursues this opportunity with whatever resources he has at hand.
The second theme in entrepreneurship is innovation which involves transforming and revolutionizing existing products or services to cope up with the changing global environment.
The third theme is growth; this involves the continual efforts of an entrepreneur to expand his home business locally and internationally. An entrepreneur is on the constant look out on how to create new approaches to make his home business grow and become a huge success.
You can see from the history of some of the most successful home business today that the founders of these home businesses have taken great leaps of faith and incredible amounts of risks in order to be what they are today. Wherever you turn, you see the results of entrepreneurship. But it is most obvious in internet commerce because this is a new industry.
The home business environment, and even the technological advancements that are available today, would not have been possible if these entrepreneurs did not come out of their comfort zone to invest in the development of these home businesses.
As you can see, having the entrepreneurial spirit is definitely necessary for home businesses to reach greater heights and provide better and faster products and services to their clients. It is no wonder then that a lot of home business enterprises are hiring young and dynamic individuals with a vision and who are not afraid to take calculated risks to ensure the survival of the home business tomorrow.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAN BE YOUR TICKET TO FREEDOM by lillian lambert
ENTREPRENEURSHIP CAN BE YOUR TICKET TO FREEDOM
by lillian lambert
For more than thirty years, I have been an entrepreneur. I thoroughly enjoy that role with all of its challenges: the people problems, financial concerns, growing and managing the company and many others. I find the rewards well worth the challenges. It is one of the best ways to build wealth. Because there are so many challenges, entrepreneurs sometimes find it difficulty to do everything that needs to be done. This is my perspective on things that definitely need your attention even as you grow and face the challenges that await you.
1. Learn everything you can about your industry, particularly the financials. The years I spent working in my industry gave me valuable experience that was useful when I started my own company. I learned things that I should do as well as things I should not do. 2. Develop good people skills: treat everyone with respect no matter what their position is in an organization. Frequently the administrative assistant has all the power and can help you the most. 3. Stay close to your customers. 4. Establish and maintain a good banking relationship. Interview your banker and be sure the bank is there for you in good and bad times. 5. Maintain impeccable credit, both personal and business. 6. Operate every day as if your company is for sale. 7. Develop an investment portfolio outside of your company. 8. Live within your means, better yet, live below your means. 9. Develop a succession plan. 10. Know thyself: know when it's time to let go and move on. 11. Maintain proper balance between work and family, take care of yourself and have fun.
If you are an entrepreneur, you have probably dealt with the doubting Thomases- those who tell you it can't be done or you can't do it. If your business is new and you have not encountered them, you will. Be sure you have done your homework and are strong in your conviction. There are numerous dream killers. Don't be one of their victims. DON'T LET ANYONE STEAL YOUR DREAM. FOLLOW YOUR HEART, DREAM BIG, AND ACT NOW.

The science of :Why do some thrive in entrepreneurship while others fall flat on their face?
Why do some thrive in entrepreneurship while others fall flat on their face? by Andrew Gallagher
What are the differences between someone who is trying to make their business venture work, and not having success, and someone who is easily making significant income and diversifying their income from multiple streams?
To really get into the science of what makes up tick as humans and why some have success almost effortlessly and others struggle for most of their lives, I would like to illustrate the principles found in this example:
One particular friend of mine started a business that was franchised out to persons wanting to have a territory in the auto detailing industry. This was before the economy was bad, and there were not too many worries about such a thing at the time. Apparently the first friend of mine was able to make a successful living out of this industry for years and actually adapted fairly well to whatever changes the market brought about. He had the ability to franchise out to my roommate at the time as well, since at this time I was just out of high school. So my roommate was able to start his own, already branded business with the opportunity of making his own living in a similar way, being trained and given the name that has proved successful, as well as the basic business model and so forth. So after a few months my roommate quit and ended up depending on a second income and finally quit with nothing to show for the endeavor. Why? There were seemingly mostly complaints about what he was given, and the price of his overall investment, since he was not actually in a position to invest in a business at that time. So there we have 2 obvious reasons. That of the negative mental attitude, and the inability to invest any more into the business than the very basic needs, not including any sort of marketing and advertising, besides the basic yellow page listing. I don't believe this was because of the fact that he was not a good salesman. Heck to be a good salesman in that industry does not really matter at all. What matters is being the expert at what you do. Plain and simple. No because his work was such quality as I knew this to be the case, despite the learning curve, he simply did not have the longevity mindset to able to carry the weight of the established business through to the end of the reward.
So what is your dominant thought in creating your own income with the state of any economy in any circumstances. That all depends upon you. 95% of all business created will be created by none other than you and you alone.
To scientifically create success, investing and marketing, along with advertising is only the first step toward financial freedom. To have a lasting long-term income that will create a cash flow for you over and over again will require something more. The power instilled by you as a human being. Not letting negative energies and things hold you back. Not quitting or changing systems, or business models. Not making excuses, of course as most would realize. But actually developing yourself as a solid and stable human being is feels worthy of this life and has created his own way of life though knowing who we are and where we even came from. These qualities we can develop, especially that of thankfulness and appreciativeness will proceed the amassing of wealth or anything else we desire.
That is the basic, most scientific way entreprenuership I can give you to literally make you a success in the industry of your choice.
I know this will help many to start to understand what is takes to manifest what we all need in our lives.

Internet Entrepreneurs and Personal Branding
Internet Entrepreneurs and Personal Branding
by Craig Klosterman
For Internet entrepreneurs, personal branding is a very valuable thing. It's not a good idea for them to be too restricted or tied to only one brand or Web site, because most entrepreneurs have their hands in a lot of different things. It helps to keep them more versatile and allows them to gain a larger customer base. That's something that they can't always do with only one Web site or product, but too many people think small and so they don't broaden their horizons when it comes to the kinds of work that they could really be doing.
For the Internet entrepreneur, establishing a personal brand is essential so that he can have business success no matter what he does. If he's tied only to one online business he'll quite likely find that he can't grow the way he wants to. If he doesn't have any personal branding it's even worse, because he'll have to work to gain a new customer base if he starts up any other online business. With personal branding, an Internet entrepreneur can spend time with one online business or ten online businesses, and everyone still knows who he is. That leads to a much higher degree of business success than could otherwise be achieved. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who are trying to succeed in business and who don't realize that they could do a lot more if people knew who they were instead of just knowing the products that they sold.
If you're already an Internet entrepreneur or if you're planning on being one, it's very important that you work on personal branding at an early stage. People need to know about your online business, but if you want to have a higher degree of business success people also need to know about your online presence. In other words, knowing who you are is more significant than just knowing about the business that you've got right now. As you grow as an Internet entrepreneur and start to branch out, your customers will be able to follow your latest endeavors and stay a part of your customer base for many years to come.

Why Should Entrepreneurs Start a Social Mission?
It's a simple question many entrepreneurs are asking themselves. Increasingly, entrepreneurs are pushing beyond purely self-interest-driven business to focus on ways in which they can leverage influence and expertise to impact social change-whether it's a national video contest or a local blood drive.
In an ideal world, genuine passion is the key call-to-action. Beyond your personal connection to a cause, there are many business benefits. The primary business benefit of a social mission is to engender goodwill amongst core segments, though there are many secondary benefits. Elevating your brand image, rallying your team and building relationships with like-minded entrepreneurs are key secondary benefits of launching a social initiative.
Primary Business Benefits
The primary benefit of a social mission is all about authenticity. If your primary ambition of launching a social initiative is to bolster your brand image, your head and heart might not be in the game-instead centered on self-interest pursuits. It is about making a sustainable impact for core constituencies; it's about uplifting public welfare; it's about leveraging influence and talents to be an influential advocate for those with little to no representation.
Authenticity wins the hearts of your consumers. Consider VoxPop-a cafe and bookstore in Brooklyn, NY that promotes social awareness. Recently, VoxPop was on the verge of financial collapse when the CEO, Debi Ryan hosted two town hall meetings to pitch an investment deal to the community. Now, the cafe and bookstore has 144 new investors. VoxPop was able to live another day due to their genuine compassion for community members-who reciprocated the feeling to truly make VoxPop a community-driven businesss. Their authenticity won the hearts and consequently, pocketbooks of the local patrons.

Wealthy Principle and How to Become Rich Fast Online
Wealthy Principle and How to Become Rich Fast Online
by Priscilla Shields
A fascinating wealthy principle most people have not recognized is that the rich are bigger than their problems, but the poor are smaller than their problems.
As most entrepreneurs are aware, becoming wealthy is not an easy task. There are problems along the road to success, including pitfalls, obstacles and a lot of responsibility. However, the poor do not like dealing with problems and they definitely do not enjoy responsibility, so they continue with their main problem - being poor.
An important secret to success is not avoiding problems but dealing with them as they occur. If the obstacle is bigger than you, then you have to grow bigger than the obstacle. Life always has problems, so problems are not the issue. The issue is always how big you are as a person.
The bigger the problems you can handle, the larger the business you can manage. The more responsibility you can manage, the more money you will make. Your wealth grows to the extent you grow as a person. The goal is for you to grow as a person so you can deal with any obstacle that is in your path of success. And there are many ways you can grow as a person. You may have to learn how to increase in self discipline, learn better communication skills, or educate yourself in a particular area.
A word of warning as you learn to overcome problems - do not focus on them! The rich never do; instead, they put their time and strength in developing a strategy to overcome the obstacle. Remember that what you focus on grows, so it's important that your attention is not on the problem, but on the solution for overcoming the obstacle.
As an exercise write down a problem you have and brainstorm until you come up with 20 ideas that will help eliminate or reduce the obstacle. Use this approach with all your problems and you will become unstoppable in your goals!

An important secret to success is not avoiding problems but dealing with them as they occur. If the obstacle is bigger than you, then you have to grow bigger than the obstacle. Life always has problems, so problems are not the issue. The issue is always how big you are as a person.
The bigger the problems you can handle, the larger the business you can manage. The more responsibility you can manage, the more money you will make. Your wealth grows to the extent you grow as a person. The goal is for you to grow as a person so you can deal with any obstacle that is in your path of success. And there are many ways you can grow as a person. You may have to learn how to increase in self discipline, learn better communication skills, or educate yourself in a particular area.
A word of warning as you learn to overcome problems - do not focus on them! The rich never do; instead, they put their time and strength in developing a strategy to overcome the obstacle. Remember that what you focus on grows, so it's important that your attention is not on the problem, but on the solution for overcoming the obstacle.
As an exercise write down a problem you have and brainstorm until you come up with 20 ideas that will help eliminate or reduce the obstacle. Use this approach with all your problems and you will become unstoppable in your goals!
