Why can’t I have my own business?” There are those who have repeated those questions over and over but never step out and enter the possibilities.

Make sure you work on your business everyday. Do not let yourself fall into the ‘I can take today off’ pattern. The temptation will be strong, so your discipline must be stronger.
