I will spend more time on smaller, more personal entries in the future to balance the articles I’ve been writing. So here’s one of those “instyblogs” for today:
An epiphany struck me today as I opened my first SBC bill for my business phone line. As I ripped it open, I noticed that I was devoid of the usual doomsday feeling of holding anything sent to me from hulking utility companies. I scanned the first page for the total, and I found it. 0.50. It was over double what I had expected, but I immediately noticed something. I literally felt my entire person suddenly rise to meet the challenge of paying this insurmountable bill. Keep in mind that I risked everything, sold everything, and gave up what was left to open this tiny one-man business of mine. So this 0 bill reads like ,000. But, gone are the self-defeating flashes that many of us commonly feel when our new business is clobbered with bills that we cannot pay.
The epiphany was in that illuminating moment when I realized that my determination is in full-court and will guarantee success! I am beginning to realize how important self-reliance is in small enterprise, and how lucky I am to possess it.
