When you think you should give up on your business idea or the business itself, think about these people who overcame serious handicaps!!

*Beethoven handled the violin awkwardly and preferred playing his own compositions instead of improving his technique. His teacher called him hopeless.

*Walt Disney was fired by a newspaper editor for lack of ideas. Walt Disney also went bankrupt several times before he built Disneyland.

*Inventor Thomas Edison’s teachers said he was too stupid to learn anything. When Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2,000 experiments. A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times. He said, “I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2,000-step process.”

*Louisa May Alcott, the author of Little Women, was encouraged to find work as a servant or seamstress by her family.

******Before you give up on your dream or business, call for an appointment and get some direction.
