Business Quotation Of The Week

Sunday January 25, 2004
"Hitch your wagon to a star. Let us not fag in paltry works which serve our pot and bag alone." – Ralph Waldo Emerson
When your work has become a chore instead of a pleasure most of the time, it's time to re-examine what you're doing and what you'd really like to do. What is your star? Ignoring all those practicalities, circumstances, and naysayers, what would you truly reach for? Dream first and then return to earth and plan a route to get there. The route may be circuitous or long or even reshape itself into another path entirely, but the stars are reachable for those who are prepared to make the effort and take the risks.
Dream fodder: If starting your own business is a star you would like to reach for, these articles will give you some inspiration:
"Top 10 Business Opportunities 2004";
"Top 10 Home-Based Business Opportunities";
"7 Sources of Business Ideas".
