Are you reaching for magic in business?

The great leaders are like the best conductors – they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players. – Blaine Lee

Are you reaching for the magic in business? Many of us go into business because we are passionate to create our own path in life. But, are we creating this path for the right reasons? Are we truly reaching for the magic that will make us money but provide a legacy, too? Or are we only focused on quick money and not investing in ourselves and are employees?

The key to business is to reach for the magic. You have to focus on it. Don't chase paper, don't worry about money not rolling in right away. Worry about talent within your company. Great talent makes for amazing magic. Business owners know they can't possibly run every aspect of their business. So, you have to find talented people to help you create magic and then the money will come.

I am willing and ready to take your questions on the magic of business.

Do you have a job?

My son is now an ‘entrepreneur’. That’s what you’re called when you don’t have a job. – Ted Turner

Ted Turner couldn't have said it any better. Entrepreneurs either have a great reputation or a bum rap. There is no in between! And, the same goes for the actual entrepreneur. People view them either as ambitious or lazy because there really are two types of entrepreneurs. The kind that start businesses, think business 24/7, and do everything in his or her power to make their dreams happen. And, there are the people who like to say entrepreneur so they don't have to say unemployed. Those who like to talk about getting stuff done but it never really happens.

Which type of entrepreneur are you? The type that does things or the type that talks about doing things? It is a harsh question but it defines your career as a boss/owner or your career as someone's employee.

This Sunday night, as you sit there dreaming about your next business venture, what is your plan? Ask yourself if you want to really do this or if you are just going to talk about it!
