Inspirational Thought by Peter Drucker . . .
one of the country’s most respected MANAGEMENT CONSULTANTS for over 30 years.

On leaving your "day job" and going solo as some of you have already done or are contemplating . . .

Drucker . . .

". . . first ask yourself, Can I take it emotionally? You will have to learn to be an outsider, to be on your own. The first three years will be rough. You’ll have a terrific lunch with a potential client and you’ll never hear from him again. It’s not the money that’s the crucial resource; it’s the ability to survive those first years of hopeful, promising leads that lead NOWHERE. If you have the emotional fortitude to last three years, you’ll succeed."
