When Entrepreneurs are Outstanding

Do you love to stand out from the crowd? When you walk into a room do people point and nod and smile like you are a celebrity? Have you been asked to give interviews about your amazing skills and talents?

Then please remember this quote: the higher you go the harder you can fall!!

Think about it for a minute. Once you are known as super smart, super creative, super good you are a great target for those who are jealous of other's successes. So, be careful to keep your ego from running away, from seeing yourself as better than others. Keep being humble.

There are always the pluses and minuses of creativity that are rewarded with awards and acknowledgment. Often, we forget that we are part of a team, a group of people who have helped us get to the goal.

Think about the Academy Awards. Sure it can get boring listening to the lists of "thank you" for being part of the success. However, the day after the awards is as important as the evening gala. You see when you stand out from the crowd if you don't remember the crowd that helped you get there you will end up alone. Yes, alone! And the next venture will be harder and maybe even never get you to the new creative place to be seen as outstanding.

So, on your entrepreneurial journey to the top of the mountain keep thinking about who you need to thank as you walk the fun and complex path of making new things happen. You will be the better for it.

CEOs and Email - Slaves? - I wonder if the emails they are responding to are filtered thru their assistants first 'cos they seem to spend a lot of their off hours responding to them. True they are successful but I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay that price. I'd be interested to know what's the in the typical day planner of Entrepreneurs on the Forum. Entrepreneurs are a different breed than Paid Employees- so it would be interesting to view the contrast.
Fundraising for 3rd world Entrepreneurs - How great to learn that Evan is doing something for Entrepreneurs in Africa! It just makes me even more thankful to be part of this forum! After helping create a new charity for animals in my local community last year, I created a vision for a charity empowering Women Entrepreneurs. It won't happen for a while yet, but I know it is something I will do within the next few years. As we allow ourselves to think bigger, the opportunity to impact people becomes much bigger as well. Does anyone else have a desire to really make a difference in the world through this means?
