If you don’t know where you’re going, how will you know when you’ve arrived? Or, more importantly, when you’re heading in the wrong direction? If you’re the owner of a small business, what is your goal? Is it to make it to the end of the month with enough money in the bank to cover the payroll? Is it to take a holiday for the first time in five years? Every small business owner should have the same goal – sooner or later, to become independent of the business.</p><p> </p><p><img src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRDPunCI-HXTOGBTUF2FPRypHKtofmvxZi4fwfwvtuvAbJV5q6Q" class="align-center" alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRDPunCI-HXTOGBTUF2FPRypHKtofmvxZi4fwfwvtuvAbJV5q6Q" /></p><p></p><p>Small businesses turn into big businesses only when they are able to operate smoothly without the owner being present. When you can stay away for a week, or a month, or a year, and return to find the business running better than before you left, you have the opportunity to do whatever you like – be it selling that business and start a new one, retire, or buy a yacht and sail around the world. True financial independence is the ability to live your life doing what YOU want to do. Do you really want to show up for work an hour early every day, leave late at night and never take a holiday, for the rest of your life? I don’t think so. </p><p><a href="http://www.ibosocial.com/visions2/pressrelease.aspx?prid=309263" target="_blank">Continue Here...</a></p><p></p></div>Leaving A Legacyhttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/profiles/blogs/leaving-a-legacy2013-07-06T07:58:30.000Z2013-07-06T07:58:30.000ZStephen Edgecombehttps://syndicationexpress.ning.com/members/StephenEdgecombe<div><p></p> <p><br /><img width="579" height="283" class="align-full" src="{{#staticFileLink}}3818712734,original{{/staticFileLink}}" alt="3818712734?profile=original" /></p> <div> <p> <br /><font face=""Georgia","serif"">Just a few days ago we celebrated the Fourth of July, marking our country’s independence from England. We can celebrate because of the enduring legacy left by our visionary founders two hundred years ago.<font> </font></font> <font lang="en" xml:lang="en">The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights – these documents describe the system of government they labored so diligently to establish. Our founders not only produced great documents which described freedom and honor, but they demonstrated the essence of these enduring concepts. That’s what makes their legacy so compelling and powerful. <font> </font>George Washington’s integrity, Thomas Jefferson’s idealism, and Benjamin Franklin’s diplomacy set the stage for this country to become what it is today – the most powerful and prosperous democracy in the world, a beacon of success!

According to Theodore Hesbrugh, “You don’t make decisions because they are easy; you don’t make decisions because they are cheap; you don’t make decisions because they’re popular; you make them because they’re right.”<font> </font> As reflected in the book, “<a href="http://www.pbs.org/newshour/bb/entertainment/jan-june10/wesmoore_05-12.html"><font color="#0000FF">The Other Wes Moore</font></a>,” choices can make the difference between heart-wrenching losses or moments of surprising redemption; from “White House Fellow and business leader” to “serving a life sentence in prison.” It all depends on which road you take when you come to the “fork in the road.” ( Every young man should read this fascinating <a href="http://astore.amazon.com/simplesitecom-20/detail/B004WOEVSW"><font color="#0000FF">story</font></a>)</font></p> <div> <p> </p> <p><font lang="en" xml:lang="en">Read the rest of this blog <a href="http://www.steledgemarketing.com" target="_blank">here</a></font></p> <p> </p> <p><font lang="en" xml:lang="en">Take action <a href="http://www.sfi1.biz/12232827"><font color="#0000FF">here</font></a> today - toward establishing a lasting legacy of financial freedom, and character.</font></p> <p><br /><a href="http://www.sfimg.com/Images/Banners/Banner124.gif" target="_blank"><img width="582" class="align-center" src="http://www.sfimg.com/Images/Banners/Banner124.gif?width=582" alt="Banner124.gif?width=582" /></a></p> <p> </p> </div></div>
