"Unlocking Your Entrepreneural Spirit" is an article I came across in the SUCCESS FROM HOME magazine dated July 2006. At that time, I bought copies to give to my friends to share what I stumbled upon.
It explained why business ownership is on the rise. Why people would be shifting towards working for oneself.
A salary is no longer adequate nor secure in these days and time. It was 2006! The US subprime crisis was about to happen.
John Fleming also provides a simple checklist on how to find the right business for oneself and how to stay focused on what you are aiming to achieve. Below is my favorite part of the article.

There will be many ups and downs no matter what business you decide to start. It's part of the rite of passage of becoming an entrepreneur - taking the good with the bad. And there will be days when nothing goes right and you'll start to debate whether you should pack it in. This is the time where you'll need to work even harder. Some of the most successful companies had to go through years of failure before they got it right. You will have to go through a similar process to discover what works for you.

It's how you deal with failure that will determine your ultimate success.". ---John Fleming
