Courage in Business
“Wherever you see a successful business, someone once made a courageous decision.” Peter Drucker
What do you have planned in your business for 2008? I’ve got some brand new things launching – a new partnership with a local healing center, a new live workshop, a new program, a new business structure – talk about starting the New Year out with a bang!
I have to admit, when my coach suggested a new business structure, I was a little nervous – ok – I was downright scared!
Whenever we decide to do something new, it’s going to bring changes for us. With my new structure, I was worrying that clients might feel alienated, I was worried about how it would change the structure of my day, I was worried about how it would rock my business world – I felt a little like I was jumping off a cliff into a great big unknown.
I like Peter Drucker’s quote above because it renews in me the sense of adventure that I have as an entrepreneur. When I read it, I realized that successful businesses are full of courageous decisions. As entrepreneurs, we make them every day. A business of your own truly tests your courage.
What new things are you implementing in 2008? Where would you like to see your business by this time next year? What decisions are you making that feel a little scary? How will your business change because of these decisions?

New business structures can be so exciting. I’m changing up a LOT of aspects of my business for 2008. I look forward to seeing us both grow and become even better and more focused in our efforts. Best of luck!
