Failure is not an option. I was never good at failing. The first year in the Navy I was driven to earn my Aircrew Wings. I had a lot of hard work (mostly physical) to earn those wings. With my intention to help others succeed by motivating them, I found that I was motivating myself. The 3-mile beach run became easier when I had a team to work with. We helped each other through the hard times and laughed over the good times. When I started my massage practiced alone I didn't have anybody to help motivate me. So, I sought out a group of entrepreneurs all in the beginning stages of their businesses. We got together to stay connected, network but most of all, to support one another. Now, just six months into our relationship we have formed life long friends and a plethura of business for eachother. We can cry at the hard times and celebrate over our successes. We are all on a roller coaster and we thrive not knowing what is around that sharp corner or that dark tunnel. It is what excites us and keeps us trucking along. Find the excitement and joy of a private practice and you will find a way to make it work. Success is a driving factor! Failure is not an option. I was never good at failing.
