"He who angers you conquers you."
There will be times in your life that someone will anger you, it might be when you present your wonderful idea to a person you are trying to get to invest in you, and they can’t see what you see. If you get angry and let it overwhelm you, then you will lose.
We all have times in our lives when we lose our tempers, and there are some that can’t control their temper no matter what. People that fail to control their temper will find they have no friends, others will avoid them.
I have always found that I can do so much more but maintaining my self control, and as I have gotten older it becomes much easier.
So if your one of those that can’t/won’t control your temper, be prepared for the trouble that are destined to follow you, till you do change.

I look to the future
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
So where will you be in 5 years, 10 years, will you be the success you see in your mind right now, or will you be stuck in the same place you are right now. Only you can determine where you will be and how you will get there.
It is so easy to procrastinate, or worse yet just give up. Why, because it is too hard and you are quitting, that is the easy path. I would hope you have the guts to stick it out, and if you should fail it will not be because you quit.
Failing makes you feel terrible, but if you can learn a lesson from it, one that is so deeply engraved into your soul that you never repeat the mistakes that contributed to it.
Just remember, you are in control of your destiny, no one else.

"True friends stab you in the front."
"True friends stab you in the front."
Friends what would we do without them, and some times we wonder what we will do with them. I have stated before, the worse person to discuss your idea with will be friends and family. They don’t understand what you are doing and will never have your passion for your project, and the passion is your driving force,
But the one thing I can say about them is, they will be there when times get hard and I promise times will get hard, and sometimes it is good to have someone to lean on and know that they will be there for you, no matter what.
They will want you to succeed, but they can’t understand that it takes time; no great idea has been accomplished over night. But the true friend will stand by you till it is done, they may complain and complain some more, but if you have chosen well, they will still give as much as they can. Just remember what they have given you is no less than you owe them, when that final goal is reached.

Those who dance are thought mad by those who do not hear the music.
Take a step back and look at yourself, if you have the courage to examine yourself, perhaps you can find the faults that have ruled your life, and if we should find those faults then perhaps we can fix ourselves.
The most dangerous word we use is a simple one, “IF” how many times have you used it, IF I ONLY. It is an excuse, nothing more. Reaching deep inside ourselves is one of the hardest things to do, but when we overcome it, success is right around the corner. But it requires you be totally honest, with you. It is so easy to lie to ourselves; it becomes second nature we don’t even realize we are doing it. If you should question yourself, find a true friend, one that you trust, and ask them point blank to tell you what your weakness are. If they are a true friend, and they know you will not get upset with them, they will tell you the truth. And don’t be surprised if the truth hurts, and if you doubt it ask several more friends, and compare the results, if you get enough truth you can find out what you need to know.
The truth is out there, so it is up to you to find it.

"We don't know who we are until we see what we can do."
Moving from the idea to the prototype is an interesting time, when that great idea turns into something that just doesn’t work the way it should. You will find yourself making modifications to modifications, it is a pain in the butt, but if you believe in your idea, you will find a way to make it work.
You have reached the time in the process that will test your ability to fix the problems that arise. I would hope you have the skill to think around the box and not get stuck in it.
There is an old term called the Master Mind, when you have several minds thinking about the same thing, you will come up with answers, Thomas Edison used it, and we see what kind of results he got, well you might not be Thomas Edison but, you can do great things, just keep plugging away, and in time you will fix the problems.

"The best way to escape from a problem is to solve it."
There is nothing more frustrating than seeing a problem and not having the tools to fix it. Any problem can be fixed; we just have to know where to find the tools to fix it. There are several methods, the first one is find a mentor, a person that has been there done that will be invaluable. They are out there, no matter where you live, find the retired business owner. Never under estimate the knowledge that a retired person has. The one advantage a retired person has is that they have the time to answer your questions; they have the experience you lack.
A second method is to go to your computer and start researching, sometimes you won’t know the key word to use, one trick is to place a Thesaurus on your desktop, it will be invaluable. Be prepared to spend lots of time on your computer, it can be frustrating sometimes, but in the end it is well worth it. Learning is a wonderful thing; all your friends will be asking you questions, because they know you will have their answers.

If your life is free of failures, you're not taking enough risks.
Fear something we all have, even if we won’t/can’t admit it. Everyone has fear, it will manifest itself in some manner. If it was your first big love or your first time speaking before a group of people, and it didn’t matter if you were 9 or 99 some things in life are scary, especially the first time you do it.
Now let’s suppose your fear is heights, can you imagine how scared you would be, jumping out of an airplane for the first time, now think how it would feel if you had 100 jumps under your belt. Fear is a relative thing, the first time is rough but the more you do a thing the easier it gets.
Business is the same thing going after your idea will be hard and scary, but if you keep at it and overcome your fear, you will be able to do great things. You may fail and have lots of bumps along the way, but if you can persevere, in the end you will be the success you want to be.
