Encourage. Who provides you with the encouragement to move forward and seek new solutions and new ways of being better at whatever you do?As you look at ‘encourage’ it has two key words inside of it, “courage” and “age”.We all need courage to move ahead and try new things and to learn new ways of reaching our goals. And, this is true not only of what age you are but the age we live in today.We live in a world where we can be in constant contact but also in one where those who can encourage us to do better are close at hand. It is important to have a mentor and to seek advice from those who can help you take on new challenges and to assist in getting over the “speed bumps” that are always part of any new initiative that you take.So identify those who can help and guide you and take full advantage of their wisdom and knowledge so that you, in turn, can provide encouragement to others.“The finest gift you can give anyone is encouragement. Yet, almost no one gets the encouragement they need to grow to their full potential. If everyone received the encouragement they need to grow, the genius in most everyone would blossom and the world would produce abundance beyond our wildest dreams.” — Sidney MadwedFor more information, visit the SBA website at www.smallbusinessadvisors.com, call 295-7832 or e-mail dhhills@ibl.bm.
