Greetings to all that may read this Blog! This will be a blog for aspiring and current business owners. My intent is to provide hints, tips and words of encouragement to the brave of heart that are participating in the Free Enterprise system by operating their own business. I encourage commentary from business owners, managers, professional business consultants, coaches and advisors.
Today’s thought is:
You can only truly fail if you refuse to participate.
Even when things don’t go according to our plans (we lose money, profits, employee issues, etc), we learn valuable lessons that can never be taken from us. From these experiences, we learn how to run our businesses successfully in the future. We can also use these lessons to teach our employees and family how to run a successful business. Some of the best learning comes from our failures (After all, if everything we did worked, we would have nothing to learn). Just remember to look for the lesson when things aren’t going your way!

Hey Doug,
Like the thought for the day. Made me think about my salutation to people. I usually say, “Have a Great (or Awesome) Day! I think in the spirit of your thought for the day I will change it from “Have” to “”Make”. Make it a Great Day! That promotes your participation in it to make it Great or Awesome. Like you said the only way to fail, (in the day), is to not participate in it. One of my favorite words this year is Engage! Congrats on the Blog! I know you have been a great help to us in the past and expect to be encouraged and learn from your new blog!
Make it an Awesome Day! John
