HUNT
My first book was about people who were fed up with corporate jobs and started their own companies. I described their entrepreneurial mindset with the acronym HUNT: H, Harness what you have; U, Underestimate obstacles; N, Notice your network; and T, Take the next step. We admire entrepreneurs because the vast majority of us want to start our own business. But what that really means is, we want the control over our own lives that a business seemingly gives us. The harsh reality is that most people will never take this step. More than half of business owners (I don’t subscribe to research that says 95 percent of small businesses fail) decide their business is too much to handle and go back to working a job.
