Exciting but scary. After talking to friends and acquaintances about this for the past month I have realized that most people are not cut out for entrepeneurship…. they are so pessimistic about everything and absolutlely in love with their paychecks. Of course I have my doubts too, but nothing is ever certain in this world and you just have to believe in yourself and do it. If you fall flat on your face, get up and do it again.

I just read a great book called “Uncommon Genius” and it looks at the traits of people who are innovative and creative. Here were some of the highlights:

1) Find your talent.

2) Commit to it and make it shine.

3) Dont be afraid of risk. Or even failure, which if seen in its proper light brings insight and opportunity.

4) Find courage by looking to something stronger and and better than yourself.

5) No lusting after quick resolutions. Relax, stay loose.

6) Get to know yourself. Understand your needs and the specific conditions you favor.

7) Break free from the seductive pull of book learning and research and the million other preparatory steps that could delay for the entire span of a life and immerse yourself in the doing.
