There's a rather large group of people out there displaying vision, commitment, and guts. Other than a few who get lots of attention, they don’t draw many stares. Often, they face ridicule. Many are referred to as dreamers. Some are simply written off as crazy. Yet, they persist, and their numbers are multiplying. In our business, we see them all the time. I sometimes shake my head in wonder at their confidence and their focus. I ADMIRE THEM IMMENSELY. I bet you do too.
So, let's all together thank them. Who are these amazing people? You guessed it. They are today's entrepreneurs. Let’s thank them.
Where is tomorrow's employment, quality of life improvement, and prosperity going to come from without them? These people come from all walks of life, education levels, colors, genders, and family responsibilities. You can’t spot them in a crowd but if you’re lucky enough to ever meet them, don’t try to offer them a job. They will turn you down. They can’t work for you or probably anyone else. They are on a mission.
What would our world be like five, ten, or twenty years from now if suddenly no one anywhere decided to start a business? That is a very sobering thought. Now, realistically, lots of us can’t offer any practical help. But many of us can offer advice and encouragement. Do that if you can and you will be doing a small part to make our children and grandchildren better off.
Let's thank them!
