Your 2ndChance at a First Impression: I'm Just A Bill...or AM I

School House Rock. I'm Just A Bill

Even after all of these years I still love this video. School House Rock gave us more than just a mini education on how a bill becomes a law. We were also taught that to become a law is not an overnight process. We see the idea being developed, supported, written out, marketed, sidelined, modified, killed, resurrected and when least expected SUCEED.

As an entrepreneur this PROCESS is all too familiar. Every day as we strive to obtain the brass ring, reach the end goal, and live out the promise BUT in order to get there we must deal with TODAY. Quite often where we are doesn't match up to where we know that we will be or even where we think we should be. This means that we have to have not only vision but faith through every up and down. We have to make it through the process.

I often hear new entrepreneurs or wannabe entrepreneurs declaring how they will be an overnight success. They are all looking for the light at the end of the tunnel to beam and shine upon them cementing their instantaneous success. But as the saying goes the light at the end of the tunnel is a train.

So today you might be "Just a Bill" or just starting or just growing or just working from home or just have one employee but one day your business will be the law. If we take our idea, write it out and find support for it, advertise and adjust it according to the market...If we are properly prepared then our potential can be converted to a successful, completed product. Be okay with where you are but always be ready for what you are to become.
