“Am I an Entrepreneur? How do I know?”

Entrepreneur: *A person who organizes and operates a business or businesses, taking on greater than normal financial risks in order to do so.

I was just 8 years old when I was bit by the “entrepreneur bug”. At this early age I discovered I had a knack for making money and that was a pretty cool feeling. So cool in fact, I started looking for all sorts of ways I could earn more and more money – I decided it was time to make my first “investment”.

We all want our life to count and have a significant impact…

…we all want to make the most of our time at work and with our families. Of course we all do, but what does that have to do with needing a coach?

Check out the origins of the word, “coach” from Dictionary.reference.com

Origin: 
1550–60;  1840–50   for sense “tutor”; earlier  coche  (  e  ) < Middle French  coche   <  German  Kotsche, Kutsche   <  Hungarian kocsi,   short for  kocsi szekér   cart of Kocs, town on the mainroad between Vienna and Budapest; senses referring totutoring, from the conception of the tutor as one whocarries the student through examinations

Whether you are a CEO, entrepreneur or employee for Ford Motor Company there are unexpected “exams” you will be facing everyday. Truly successful people learn how to enlist the help of others to help “carry them through”.
