Success Requires Truth
“Truth, when not sought after, rarely comes to light.”
- Oliver Wendell Holmes
truth (trûth), n., Conformity to fact or actuality.
Most people are content to live inside their own assumptions, opinions and personal biases. Truth is something that must be sought - it comes from challenging your own assumptions and those of others. It holds as paramount that no question is ever out of bounds because no matter what the answer, we gain a different perspective and a better view of what is true.
Why is it important? Because in the end, truth is our only accurate road map to life, success and happiness.
McCain or Obama – Does it really matter for Small Business?
A lot of people are wondering which candidate running for President of the United Stated of America would be better for them and their small business or home based business.
In terms of the big picture, the strength of the economy, employment, even the deficit and national debt play a role in the success of every business – small or large. When the economy is doing well, the trend is that all businesses tend to do better. When the economy is bad and consumers get picky about what they spend money on – it affects us all.
Yet to blame government for our woes, or to look to government for our personal economic security is the opposite of the energy that makes small business tick.
Frankly it doesn’t matter if Obama takes the white house or if McCain steps in. You’re responsible for your personal wealth, accomplishments, success and failures. There are opportunities for business and for learning new skills no matter what the economic or political environment.
The big picture may matter, but if you’re going to rely on the government to tell you that it’s OK to start making money again then you are in for a lifetime of instability.
“A leader is someone who steps back from the entire system and tries to build a more collaborative, more innovative system that will work over the long term.” - Robert B. Reich (Economicc Professor, former Secretary of Labor)
