Message from a Successful Entrepreneur

My colleague and friend Lori Mitchell is the President of a unique and innovative company - Tomboy Tools Canada. Last week I received Tomboy Tools’ newsletter and her message was inspiring...so I thought I would share it.

“I often get asked about what it takes to be successful. Now, there are many things that go into being a success, but I think the one factor that seems to have a real effect is wisdom...that is taking the lessons learned and applying them in the next situation. To me, the wisdom of success is recognizing your weakness and focusing on improvements.

Most people let negative forces pull them down. Or, they have traits and habits that hold them back. Indecision, procrastination, indifference, over-causation (being overly cautious) are all things that can stop a great idea in its tracks. Having the fortitude to overcome these, and simply taking small action steps each and every day will bring you the success you are looking for.

I also believe that you have to believe! I never let the negative voices overtake my head. Stay the course and be grateful for the opportunities we have all around us!

Have a great summer!”
