He shoots!!! He Scores!!!
Hockey legend Wayne Gretzky: “I skate to where the puck is going to be, not to where it has been.”
Gretzky also said, “ You'll always miss 100% of the shots you don't take.”
In this new business millennium, innovative startup companies are critical to the success of all local, national and global economies.
There will be more bull markets.
History tells us that.
History also tells us that the time to build and invest in businesses is most opportune when the economy has reached a so called low point.
The only question is will you be riding the bull wave up when it comes, or just looking at it pass by.
Steve Young, former San Francisco 49er's star quarterback, now managing director of the private equity firm Huntsman Gay Global Capital once said that after he threw an interception, he would show accountability for his mistake to his teammates, then rally his troops to go win.
“The hard part is now, we’re going to go fix it. I screwed it up but now lets go to the sidelines , we’ll get a drink of water, we’ll rest up and we’ll go down and win the game, what do you say? And I’m going to lead you to do it…All this accountability came rushing in to this group of people because the guy that screwed it up was ultimately accountable,” remarks Young said from Stanford University's Entrepreneurship Corner.
Let’s go win the game!!
Let’s keep playing to win!, lets raise that new round of capital!, lets keep networking and helping each other!
Let’s hold ourselves accountable so we can help each other succeed!
Entrepreneurs are the future.
Let’s keep moving higher.
"I know we all want the U.S. to continue to be the world's center for innovation. But our position is at risk. There are many reasons for this but two stand out. First, U.S. companies face a severe shortfall of scientists and engineers with expertise to develop the next generation of breakthroughs. Second, we don't invest enough as a nation in the basic research needed to drive long-term innovation.
“If we don't reverse these trends, our competitive advantage will erode. Our ability to create new high-paying jobs will suffer,” remarks by Microsoft Founder Bill Gates before the committee on Science and Technology, March 12, 2008.

Inspiring Drummer
I was super duper inspired yesterday by a drummer that appeared on a television program featuring Dr. Wayne Dyer yesterday. His guest on the program had been severely burned and injured in a fire. His name is Dan Connor, and he is an awesome drummer. The fire left him with severe scarring on his face and basically without fingers. Despite all of this, Dan played a drum solo that was "off the chain" to show off his ability. He uses wristbands and rubberbands to hold the drumsticks and he played a drum solo that was "off the meter."
I was almost floored and extremely amazed after seeing this guy.
He helped reinforce in me that I have no excuse not to reach my God-given potential in my life.
We all have our own physical, spiritual, and mental demons we have to face and conquer to get to a higher level in our lives.
When Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gathsemene He was faced with such a heavy weight and contemplation from His impending crucifixion that He was sweating blood.
None of us has any excuses not to live our lives at an exceptional level. I don't want to be cliche', I want to keep it to the point. There are no excuses for any of us not reaching our full God-given potential in life.
We live in a cold world with a lot of cruel, nasty, ignorant people. The "haters" are there to help take us to a new dimension in life.
When Jesus was being taken away to His "trial" before he was crucified. He called Judas his "friend".
Jesus embraced His destiny. He had to go through the crucifixion (take a look at the movie Passion of The Christ) to save mankind and get back to the Right Hand of Father God.
In the same sense, we will be "crucified" in life in order to get to a new dimension in our lives.
When Jesus was resurrected He appeared on the earth in his new glorified body (he could walk through walls, no nail scars on his hands, etc), then He ascended to heaven.
The drummer I spoke of earlier literally went through fire and he has reached a higher plateau in life.
We all will have a fire in our lives that is designed ultimately to take us to a new, higher dimension in life.
The choice is ours to embrace our destiny and take the necessary steps to reach new highs in our lives.
