The Entrepreneur's Manifesto: Habits of a More Resilient Business Leader
By Rhett Power
"Did you know that there are roughly 27.9 million business owners and entrepreneurs in the United States who work in their business every day but are unhappy, stressed, and not thriving? I should know, I was one of them. [...] At that point, I was forced to step away and take a really good look at my company, and at myself, to analyze the things that were holding Wild Creations back. That was when I realized it was going take more than a few quick fixes to transform this company into a success. I couldn't just run a business. I needed to devote myself to the business; daily. I knew immediately that the changes that needed to be made were going to have to start with me. I had been helping other people develop their businesses for years, but in reality, I had no idea how to develop my own. I knew that in order to succeed in this endeavor, I would have to evolve into a stronger, smarter, and more resilient business leader."
