You need a reason to go on. It has to be so strong that it motivates you to face whatever challenges that come along. Believe me, stuff does happen to us all. Winners are not superheroes, they just keep going long after losers give up.

Try to be in a business where you have regular customers who give you repeat business. The value of a regular customer is a predictable regular income as long as you keep that customer.

Big Dreams welcomes submissions. That is, you are welcome to contribute articles to be published online. Here are the guidelines:

Articles have to fall within the focus of this newsletter, in order to be selected for publication. The focus of this newsletter is personal development and topics related to starting a small business.

What I mean by this is to associate with positive people, to read positive books, listen to positive tapes and the like. Every encounter, every positive experience will leave a trace on your heart. We are the sum of the books we have read, the people we have met and the experiences we have had. The key is to realise that you have the ability to choose which books, people or experiences. Don't just drift along, absorbing whatever experiences come your way.
