At times I sound like a broken record especially when I'm talking to those starting new business ventures. The primary advice I share with them is simply- "Never give up!- EVER!" If you truly believe in the work that you are doing never let anything hold you back from your success! Do not let setbacks, pitfalls, or failure hinder your will to survive. You can do it! Also, if you are in a position of leadership it is important that your staff recognize that you are a fighter and not one who easily gives in to difficulty. If you present yourself as helpless and hopeless your staff will shutdown on you and ensure your defeat. On the other hand if you present yourself as fearless and faithful those under your leadership will follow your example. Even when you are nervous- never give up! Even when you are afraid- never give up! Even when you fail, fall flat on your face, and sink into an abyss of doom and gloom- cry, punch a pillow, or stomp your foot but NEVER EVER GIVE UP! I believe in you! You can do it even it if means shifting directions or revisiting your goals. Keep working! Keep believing! - Derek A. Terry, Principal Consultant
