“Many of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up”
Thomas A. Edison
Have you ever hesitated to start something new because you were concerned that you would falter or crash and burn? Everyone has! It seems our aversion to “not getting it right” can be a stumbling block to success, and who knows, the success not achieved might be outrageous!
When Jeff Bezos started Amazon, which was supposed to be an online bookstore, he was the laughing stock of Wall Street. No one could fathom that this “business model” would ever be successful.
Look at him today, Amazon has propelled Bezos to become the Richest Man in the World, just ahead of Bill Gates. Thomas Edison said of the light bulb “I have not failed, I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Bezos and Edison both pursued their dreams and with that pursuit, there were setbacks and challenges that became wildly successful ventures. Life as you know it begins and ends at the edge of your comfort zone.
Is it time to Take the Next Step?
