In my business life and while in my youth a was fortunate to have been taught what you have so passionately discussed in this post (Article). There have been times in my life were things are brought to my attention, almost on at a random occurence or on unexpected occasions, times that I can’t help but to recall on my experiences in which the current topics of “the day or time” (as now), bring’s back the memories of those experiences.

I feel that what I have just read, has been something I have been desirious to re-learn, to re-think, and re-Thank, my upbringing.

There are times where people are so deep in there daily lives and activities that they rarely take the time to read an article or listen to counsel and ideas as what you have available here on your website.

Thank you for helping me to remember my upbringing and for helping me to show other’s that appreciation and gratitude towards all, small (in appearance) and great (bigger in knowledge and experience etc.) is what brings success to those who are willing to just open there “minds”, “hearts”, “ears” and “eyes” and manage for a small and short space of time to “hold there tongue” and take heed for there mouths. Doing so with patience and persistance, eventually (when time does permit itself; “for one will feel when they are ready in strength”) to take action towards all that which they were taught in goodness.

I pray that God be with you and your family and to all those reading. Thank you all and thank you Emma. Like Maureen, I too am glad I discovered this website and bumped into your article(s).

Kind Regards,

Dayer LeBaron

Have a Good one.

I bumped into your blog from there and have been wowwing since!

I like this idea of being around others that are past you. I was recently at a montly meeting of the Florida Venture Capitalist Group and it was so much fun to be with others that looking for funding, yet it was even more fun and enriching to be around those there that have already raised significant amounts of capital.

Another people surrounding idea that I like is - trying to surround yourself with people that want and share in your success. For awhile I had a number of people in my circle (mainly family) that didn’t believe in my business they didn’t see that success was coming my way - I will say during those years I did distance myself from them a bit. It is much easier to get through the yucks in business having a team around you that shares in your vision and truly believes that you will succeed.

Hope to have the time to chime in again. Thanks for all the good encouragement. I am glad I bumped into you!
