ONE-EYED MAN IS KING
Posted: Dec 12, 2009
I thought of this when I was reading a post from someone thinking of going out on her own and getting her own accounts.
About 20 years ago, I had the great pleasure of attending a seminar where a great man, Mr. Jim Rohn, who recently passed away, was speaking. He was speaking to a group of business people who were starting their own business in the health and wellness industry.
Anyway, one piece of advice that he gave was this:
"In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man (or woman) is king (or queen)."
Whenever you start something new, you don't have to be perfect in order to succeed. If you are hoping to provide a service to someone, that person may be totally 'blind' or unable to provide the service to themselves by other means, while you have answers and skills that can help them. You do not have to be perfect in order to provide your service to them.
BTW, Mr. Rohn also said, "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Mr. Rohn did not author these statements, but he eloquently delivered them, and I remember him for this advice. May he rest in peace. The world is a better place for him having been here, IMHO.

NOT COMEDY - ALICE
[ In Reply To ..]I don't understand how the above post ended up in the comedy stop, as it was not meant to be a joke.
I agree Alice - Tina
[ In Reply To ..]Obviously the moderator who switched your post to comedy didn't bother to read it except perhaps the subject line. I was so glad you posted though as I have started my own transcription business but have as yet been unable to secure a client. It has been just over 3 months and I was ready to throw in the towel so to speak. Then I read your post and it made me feel so much better and inspired me to keep on trying. I have had to take another MT position in the meantime (which I start the 29th) as I resigned from my last position (just couldn't take the cut in pay or how they don't appreciate what their loyal MTs have done to help get them where they are over the past 6 years) but I am hopeful that if I keep on trying that eventually I will get 1 or 2 clients to sustain me, and I am hopeful that once the ball gets rolling that it will pick up speed. Thanks for sharing!

Trump Gets All Misty Eyed About AssadApr 08, 2017

The missile strike was another loud but empty gesture by a president who incapable of formulating and pursuing coherent policies, and it seems like it may have made ma ...

The king wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather forecaster and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few hours. The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the coming days. So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On the way he met a farmer on his donkey. Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of rain to fall in this area". The king was poli ...

This is a very long article. I only posted a little of it. You'll have to follow the link for the rest. Here's a bit of good news for the Washington finger-waggers who think executive compensation has gotten out of hand: A survey of 81 big companies shows that CEO pay dropped by 8.6 percent last year. Now for the worrisome twist: The cash portion of their compensation rose 8.3 percent. That's a sign that companies are de-emphasizing long-term incentives for their top guys, a par ...
