Two Life Paths...

"A man can fail many times, but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else." ~John Buroughs
There is no true straight line; everything is changing-including your life.  If you're not increasing; you're decreasing.  Your life is on a journey; your life's path is on a curve.  The curve can go two ways either upward or downward.  That's all up to you; which will you choose?  Everyday begins a new day and all days are different.  They may seem the same but don't be fooled; that is a slight curve either pulling you upward or downward.  Success is achieved by those who choose the upward path.  
"Time will be your friend or your enemy; it will promote you or expose you.  It depends purely upon which side of this curve you decide to ride.  It's entirely up to you." ~Jeff Olson,The Slight Edge
If you are going to commit to owning your own business you need to choose the upper curve and know that there will be quit a few Negative Nellie's out there.  You need to be careful you do not become one of them; they way you do this is you work hard and accept responsibility.  Taking responsibility keeps you in power of what happens to you.  When something goes wrong and you blame someone else it does two things.  One it makes it hard for you to correct the problem because you are pushing it off onto someone else.  Two it gives your power away; when you lose your power, and blame others you slip into that downward slope towards failure.
I choose the path less traveled; the path few take I know it will be hard, I also know it will be rewarding.  Starting from here on out I will take responsibility for what happens to my Nerium Business!  I will not become a Negative Nellie, and I will stay on my upward curve because time will be a friend and never my enemy!
