Financial Freedom? I love money. It is a powerful tool for getting lots of things done. And it provides that all so valuable financial freedom. But I’ve learned that it’s not the only kind of financial freedom there is. For instance, take the popular parable about “ The Tourist & The Fisherman.” It goes something like this – an American businessman visits Mexico and sees a lone fisherman bringing in his catch for the day.

Being your own boss is living “The Dream,” right? But, like anything truly worth doing, being your own boss comes with its own set of unique challenges. The proverbial “buck” stops with you.

Each business has a story. No matter if the business is a Goliath like Wal-Mart, or a local business owned by a couple or family, the business has roots in an idea. For each business owner, the story of their journey can range from monetary needs or the passion for a unique project. Each story is different though the reasons may be the same. No matter the tale, the background behind each and every business is what fuels each and brand.

I recently read a great story about basketball l egend Nate “Tiny” Archibald. Nate was such a great player he was inducted into the NBA Hall of Fame. But earlier in his career, he missed the first 20 shots of his South Bronx high school championship game! In spite of this, his team stayed close and in the last minute had an opportunity to win with a last second shot.

Entrepreneurs and business executives seem to be even more focused on their technology than the rest of us, and less inclined to listen to the voice of the customer, even if they remember to ask. Real two-way conversations with real customers, including the all-important body language, are unheard-of these days. Being connected to the Internet many hours a day is not enough.
