And like many people I had a warped perspective of NYC prior to actually experiencing the people.  Similar to the bias we often experience regarding the personal development industry, business coaching or that network marketers experience.<\/p>\n<p>Living out in the middle of nowhere I had this bias that only farmers, ranchers other rural folk retained the Love for America and the Entrepreneurial Spirit.  I was wrong.   While walking the streets of NYC my wife and I noticed both common and unusual businesses being conducted in the oddest and smallest of spaces.  The volume and variety of independent businesses was astounding!<\/p>\n<p>This Entrepreneurial Spirit moved America from under the tyranny of England to being the greatest nation in the world.  While in NYC I\/we noted two apparently universal principles that apply to small business owners like you and I.<\/p>\n<p>The first is <strong>Self Determination<\/strong>.  Defined in the dictionary;<\/p>\n<p>1.    Determination of one&#8217;s own fate or course of action without compulsion; free will<br \/>\n2.    Freedom of the people of a given area to determine their own political status; independence.<\/p>\n<p>The Second is <strong>Capitalism<\/strong>.  Defined in the dictionary;<\/p>\n<p>1.    An economic system in which the means of production &#038; distribution are privately or corporately owned &#038; development is proportionate to the accumulation &#038; reinvestment of profits gained in a free market.<\/p>\n<p>You and I as business owners &#8211; exemplify the core values our nation was built upon.  We have chosen to to rely upon a system that rewards us for being both <strong>creative<\/strong> and rewards us especially well for being <strong>Productive<\/strong> in the market place.   We &#8220;get to&#8221; determine which products we&#8217;re most passionate about, we &#8220;get to&#8221; determine who, when and how we&#8217;ll share them with others&#8230;by phone, web, or in person..and how often.   We &#8220;get to&#8221; rely upon mentors to show us the way.  We &#8220;get to&#8221; enjoy the rewards of <em>Serving others<\/em> and <em>Making a Difference <\/em>in the world everyday. The end result of our efforts is our one true product, the very best product of all; <strong>FREEDOM<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Live with Intention,<br \/>\nDr Bill<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Good Morning Team &#8211; This past week I had the privilege of staying at The Plaza Hotel in NYC &#8211; all expenses paid &#8211; a perk for a year&#8217;s worth of hard work.
