***You Don't Have To
I have observed a trend among those I mentor, consult with, and train. I can't say for certain if this is a growing trend, but I have observed it my entire professional life, and it has always been an obstacle to success. The problem? "I have to..." You see, most people ask what they "have to" do. They ask whether they "have to" be there. They wonder whether they "have to" work that hard. They argue that they shouldn't "have to" dress up for their job. I never hear successful people - in an area of life - ask this question.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Gerry Seymour
Entrepreneurship refers to a creative business mentality. It's the spark of passion and business acumen that started many of the businesses we all see around us today. Consider the tech giants like Microsoft, Apple, and Hewlett-Packard. Or insurance industry examples like Aviva and NAA. Consider Thomas Edison, Jeffrey Gitomer, Stephen Covey, Henry Ford, and any number of other current or past business leaders. All shared this sense of entrepreneurship.
Entrepreneurship combines business knowledge, personal development, financial acumen, passion, and drive. These are traits that are useful for everyone. If you are self-employed or run a small business, you need to develop these characteristics to grow your business beyond a struggle. Larger businesses benefit from building a sense of entrepreneurship in employees - especially those in key positions - because it enhances the sense of ownership, responsibility, and creativity which drive the most thriving enterprises. Even an employee benefits from developing their entrepreneurship skills, as they become a more capable, confident, and valuable asset to their employer - ripe for promotion to greater responsibility and higher pay!

Many companies are starting to understand the value to the organization that comes from key staff having access to professional coaching.
