In Dexter Yeagers book, Dynamic People Skills, He writes about an Air Force Pilot named Danny Cox. He quotes Danny in saying: "In my study of achievers I have found that the difference between the great and mediocre is one thing: The willingness to make a decision." If you think you've made a decision to build a great business and nothing is happening, then you did not make a decision.

It has been a year now since I have started my own business. This year has been a bit of a whirlwind of a year. I haven't exactly built the business like I was supposed to. I didn't take a daily action. I took action, but wasn't exactly the right action.

I put money into my business and thought I was doing the right thing. I learned that I might have been doing the thing, but I was doing the right thing. I did try to build customer volume but I realized that is only a part of the business.

What is the thing then? Part of the thing is patience. I haven't been exactly patient. I wanted the thing before the thing was ready for me. I think if I had been involved in the process before now, I might have made a mistake. I have built myself up now for success. Having travelled through a year of what I thought was a losing battle, I have come to realize that I have been working all along. I have been building up my knowledge, my personality, my character. I may not have gotten far in the actual building of the business, but I have built within me a person that can now accept a team of people that I can guide and mold into successful people as well. I am ready to move forward.
