The Entrepreneur's Code-1776

I love this CREDO-and will post it to my wall so I can look at it and feel bold and brave…fearless in the face of uncertainty and

chaos! This is inspirational and from a fellow alumnae of Teleseminar Secrets by my teacher Alex Mandossian! As mentioned on Friday I am feverishly

crafting and creating content for new  entreprenuring your life programs! What do you think is the most challenging part of being an entrepreneur?

Entrepreneur’s Credo: Written in 1776, but it's still very true!

"Entrepreneur’s Credo

I do not choose to be a common man,

It is my right to be uncommon … if I can,

I seek opportunity … not security.

I do not wish to be a kept citizen.

Humbled and dulled by having the

State look after me.

I want to take the calculated risk;

To dream and to build.

To fail and to succeed.

I refuse to barter incentive for a dole;

I prefer the challenges of life

To the guaranteed existence;

The thrill of fulfillment

To the stale calm of Utopia.

I will not trade freedom for beneficence

Nor my dignity for a handout

I will never cower before any master

Nor bend to any threat.

It is my heritage to stand erect.

Proud and unafraid;

To think and act for myself,

To enjoy the benefit of my creations

And to face the world boldly and say:

This, with God’s help, I have done

All this is what it means

To be an Entrepreneur.

(Excerpt from Common Sense, written in 1776 by Thomas Paine)"
