Yes, that quote by Marianne Williamson IS on my website. I refer back to it often. Whenever I start to hear those voices that ask, “Who do YOU think YOU are?” And I concur with her, who are we NOT to be?

It’s funny, there are zillions of books on business, success, management, leadership and how-to’s for everything under the sun. But when it comes down to it, you have to have that fire within, get quiet enough to hear your own inner guidance (intuition), so that you can make the decisions you need to succeed.

Whether in business or life, no one else can make our decisions or choices for us. We have to dig deep, be courageous and at some point just GO FOR IT (action)!

That’s what seperates those that thrive and those that merely survive. Thrivers take risks, are up for the challenges that come their way and are creative and flexible.

I’m with you. Be courageous, face the fear and DO it anyway. What’s the alternative? Never knowing?

Thanks for your always insightful comments.

I am reminded of a quote I have heard a couple times in movies lately: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?” (and so on. You can read the rest here: http://www.getreadyforlove.com/Love%20Sources/ourgreatestfear.htm)
Maybe that one is already on your blog

As Kinji noted, it takes courage to find your light. For several weeks now, I have felt teetered on the edge of nail-biting fear and profound discovery. The people who really soar in this world find a way to topple to the side of discovery and creation, yet it can be one of the most terrifying leaps a person makes. I haven’t been able to let go yet, but at least I can feel it is close.

Glad you enjoyed the article.

Lewis,

I agree with your statements, there is a fine line between creativity and good business strategies. I’m hoping to always thing creativly-strategic!

Brad,

Awww, I think I’m blushing! Thanks for the kudos on my “flair”. Your comment sums up exactly the point I was trying to make in the article.

There’s added value in being creativly-business like. We can walk our own unique walks and still be business savvy professionals. Why do so many people think business needs to be so SERIOUS??!!

Yours in creative business,
Kam

Let’s get to the fork in the road where we separate paths out of the way: I don’t believe people are born to create. In fact, most people neither have the soul nor the desire to create. On the other hand, most do want to produce. I think a wide gap separates the creators afrom the producers.

Entrepreneurs, by definition, are creators and should go to the well often to drink of its creative juices. Still, we run businesses not write novels or put paint to canvas, although some of us do both. Therefore, a fine balance between creativity and smart business strategies and tactics is good for the bottom line.
