One thing I really liked about Brian’s article, and I mentioned this to him before we posted it, is that by focusing on something that is close to home you invariably simplify your business.

Running and growing a business is hard enough, and sometimes we business owners make things more difficult than need be by putting up logistical or geographical roadblocks.

Great article Brian!

Finding out what you can offer close to home is a good one.
In my Internet Consulting business we always offer this option to our clients. They seem to appreciate it.

You’re most welcome, Brian! I love that saying!! It’s sooooooooo true.

I have a lot of desire and passion so I guess that’s why I just keep going and going–always trying to improve things.

Thanks Michele!

I have a saying I often use:

“You only fail if you lose the desire to succeed”

This desire is also ‘passion’… it may be overused, but it is so important.

Truly doing what you love and are passionate about is a big key to success in anything! Music is my passion and my life and now is my business.
