Roeboater Thoughts

 The chatter doesn't matter; the vision makes the decision.  We each have a vision for our lives right. There is a lot of chatter out there about the economy, the market, the list could go on. That does not have to change your goals. Keep your vision. Pursue your vision. Achieve your vision.  Our mind is powerful and what we allow in through our ears & eyes has an effect on us.

When we are able to take the small risks it breaks down the mental barriers that would prevent us from taking bigger risks.  By taking small risks, regularly it makes larger ones seem smaller and much less risky. (most of the time they are) Our mind, our imagination can create the feeling that a certain risk is HUGE; too costly if not achieved. When in reality, it may cause some temporary pain, but nothing lasting and the gain of experience and wisdom that we get from going for it valuable.  Go into that office today.  Make that 12th call to that person.  Have the meeting you have been avoiding.  Ask for that meeting, opportunity, introduction.   The risk in doing is much smaller than you think. The risk in not doing is much larger th
