Entrepreneur Spirit
Written by: Dana BurtonArticle Overview: • You have to believe in yourself, and become the entrepreneur that is inside. We all have it we just choose to use it when it suits us. Well you have to stick to you guns and work with the systems or methodologies that are in place and do what individuals have done before and proven it.

Entrepreneur Spirit
After reading a few
articles, listening to some videos, I believe that everyone on has an
“Entrepreneurial Spirit” within they, it just needs a focus to bring it out.
I’m sure that all of use to a lesser degree bring it out when we need it, but
put it back on the shelf to be use at another convenient time to, well, maybe
impress a boss on a project or what ever you may want it.
So, why is it that
only 1 percent of us seem to bring it out to stay and the answer is “we’re
lazy”, we all get comfortable, and it’s easy to only use it once and a while.
Maybe it’s time to get it out for good, help yourself. You can read all about
it in articles, books, videos, but if you don’t use it, nothing will come of
it. And you can’t do both, complain and make money.
But having this spirit
is not all there is to it, you have to have focus on what it is you want out of
your life and business. It’s ok to have all the spirit and determination, but
where to put it is what needs to be asked and answered.
So, get out the
“Entrepreneurial Spirit” read and grow, and ask yourself all the questions and
the answers will come in time, but it is work, so take heart and persevere, it
is worth it.

About the Author: Dana Burton RSS for Dana's articles - Visit Dana's website Well, it all started 46 years ago, in a small place, called Rivers, which is in Manitoba, Canada. It was an RCAF Station in WWII and was after the war. My father was a Corporal and was a Aero-Engine Technician working on the Lancaster bombers. We moved to Trenton, Ontario in 1966, where my father retired in 1975 from the Canadian Forces. Like any normal kid I got my high school diploma, working pumping gas for $2.10/hr. And about that time my father put me into the Royal Ontario Conservatory of Music to learn guitar, well that lasted about a year and an half and being young didn�t really care, but I did learn to play and read music. After high school I was going to college but got diverted by my friends to go and pick tobacco for 8 weeks, and saved a grand total of $1200 dollars. So, I went out west to Alberta and lived with my brother, and worked for $6/hr moving and cleaning appliances, needless to say, it didn�t work out and I came back to Ontario. Within a month of coming back I found myself in a cabinet making apprenticeship, making $7hr, and it continued for two years, when it changed again and I needed to do something different, so, I joined the Canadian Forces on my father�s suggestion, and got into Communications, and learned about computers etc, starting at $20k/year I did that for 6 years and it was quite the adventure, played a lot of sports, but mainly golf, broomball, and ball hockey, but again I just couldn�t do it anymore, so I got out and went back into cabinet making and carpentry making $10, but it was just too much work, long hours, and I was just married with a child, so after 2.5 years I joined the military for the second time and in the same trade in communications making about $35k/year. Over the next 8 years had two more children, got divorce, moved to Ottawa, and gathering lots training in computers, mainly email and networking, then finally making $45k/year. But yet again it got boring, so I left the military to get into the private business realm since the military just wasn�t working for me, and started at $48k/year. I�ve been in the IT industry ever since and to tell the truth, its niche for me because it come easy, and it make a descent wage, without having to work to hard. The only thing is I got divorced during my second military time and even though I have never been with out a job, I have just managed to make ends meet, and that�s it. Living from pay check to pay check, and once and a while being able to save, not much. Which brings me to the present day, I still have my job making $63k/year, and have been with the last company for 8 years, and my children are all in Ottawa, where I enjoy time with them and my friends, still playing guitar and mainly golf now.
