Creating a business from nothing has both great rewards and great costs. The key is to keep a balance in life and make sure that rewards, both emotional and tangible, outweigh costs in all categories... most of the time. There are many ways to build success. Don't let anyone steal your dream - to make theirs real. A good friend once said, "The Key to Success Lies in the Practice of Mission Driven Dreaming." Establish a Mission - and Dream it to reality. Find your passion, cultivate it in your mind, and boldly step forward. The worst thing that can happen is you go back to where you were one step before and you are wiser for trying. Life is good.
