"Fortes fortuna adiuvat " - Latin version of fortune favors the bold
In 2008 many people felt the economy collapsing around them. Some people choose to start businesses. Was it fear? Was it having a great idea? An Inc. magazine study reveals the reasons why people started their businesses.
In a story titled No Time Like the Present they report that 4 percent of founders cited job loss as reason for starting a business. This seems low but maybe being forced to do something is not big enough of a reason to start a business.
Second group, 50 percent, believed that their idea will succeed even in economic downturn. In other words the idea moved them forward toward executing it even if timing was not perfect.
Last group, 46 percent, recognized the gamble and could not resist seizing the opportunity. I would say they were afraid but did it anyway because they believed it to be worth it in the end.
After reading this story I believe that the recipe is to be bold, 96 percent, brings favors from fortune. Bold execution is everything.
Today's question is:
"Do you move boldly toward things you want?"
