I don't know about you but the news about the DOW breaking 10,000 had me a little excited at first! I thought, "wow, the economy is starting to look up and this bleek situation we are in will soon come to a head and will begin to turn around" But, my feeling was short lived because the very next news segment was how the unemployment rate is still rising (close to ten percent and still going) and the foreclosure rate is rising as well (1 in every 84 homes in the entire U.S. recieved a foreclosure notice this year).... That means we're still caught up with the same ol' sticky situation where the bankers capitilize and profit while the rest of us still waddle and scratch to survive while barely making it from check to check (if you still have a job). The thing that amazes me is that the country rejoiced as if progress was made and actuallly the progress that was celebrated only benefitted those who the so called recession never hit!
Which leads to my point; I'm a firm believer in the only way to get out of the rat race is to embrace some form of entrepreneurship. What does that word (entrepreneurship) mean: websters deines it as: one who organizes and assumes the risk of a business or enterprise. I believe that thinking about a skill that you possess that you could possibly profit from, focusing on that particular skill and making a decision to actually make it a reality. 9 out of 10 people think about owning and operating their own business. Whether, it's oopening a small sandwich shop with 2 employess or a large corpoartion with hundreds and hundreds of employees servicing customers across the globe, we have these dreams. So, why is that most people wont chase these dreams until they become reality? Is is that we're scared?
