But am I?

"All the great things are simple,

and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope."

Winston Churchill

 Mid-afternoon yesterday, I decided to take a break and grab a book that I have been meaning to read,The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster by Darren Hardy.

I made my way to my recliner and then to the dining room table where the book eventually came to rest and has remained unopened.

Truthfully, a number of things popped up that kind of derailed any "me" time. However, I found myself asking "how relevant will this book be for me?".

At one point in time I would say very. Today I am not so sure.

I consider myself an entrepreneur. I have even been accused of being a serial entrepreneur.

But am I?

Do I still have what it takes to be an entrepreneur?

Last week I asked myself am I done?

Have I used up all that I once had?

Like in an old western movie during the big gun battle, are all of my bullets gone and is my gun belt empty?

Is it time for me to slump behind the boulders that were shielding me and sit back and just await my inevitable fate?

I have always joked that the reason we have necks is so that we can always turn our heads to look for opportunities.

Lately,I feel as if I might as well be standing in the middle of the Sahara with absolutely the vastness of nothing staring out in all directions.

Or maybe, just maybe, there may be some answers in this book. Maybe I am on that roller coaster and just in one of the valleys.Maybe it's time to start the long arduous ascent up yet another steep incline.

I'm not sure.

I know the ride feels like it has stopped. Maybe,it's just a pause.

I guess we'll just have to see.

Today,Chapter 1 ,I promise!
