When I was out walking with Coco (The Wonder Dog) this morning he taught me a valuable lesson.
He often does and that's just one of the many reasons he earns his kibble.
Coco is a Mocha colored Standard Poodle.
He has a no nonsense haircut but still has a tufts of hair on his ears and tail, both of which trail his body as he runs, increasing the illusion of speed, making him look like the fastest dog ever, even though I know he isn't.
He's a whole lot of fun to watch.
On our walk this morning, Coco found a stick and brought it to me.
He had an idea, just like thousands of entrepreneurs do every day, and he wanted to run with (in his case; for) it.
Coco, like some entrepreneurs was ready for the task.
His body is lean, his senses acute and he knows that if he's going to be successful he needs to pay attention and keep his eyes focused on the prize (the stick).
But here is the most important thing he taught me.
Once the stick was tossed, as soon as it hit the air, he was committed to success.
He was absolutely and completely committed to retrieving that stick.
It was a joy to watch.
He bounded away from the safety of my side and literally took the leap after his dream.
He wasn't distracted by the other dogs on the playing field or even the people yelling as they watched others in their own pursuits.
He didn't become self-indulgent as the stick seemed to tumble away from him and he had to stop and re-adjust his attack on the problem.
He just went after it with more enthusiasm than ever until he had it.
The smile on his face and in his eyes was undeniable though it was harder to make out with the prized stick in his mouth.
His proud walk also made me realize that he knew that he had succeeded and achieved success.
I love to watch that same degree of enthusiasm and commitment in people who have an idea and decide they are ready and go for it.
Are you one of those people? Have you found the stick of an idea and want to chase after your dream? If you have and you think you're ready, then go for it.
Many successful businesses have been started in recessions and have grown even more successful as the economy turned around.
The world is always ready for improvements, enhancements, new products and services that make our life easier, more productive or more enjoyable.
In good times or bad there are success stories of people who have been committed to success.
People, who like Coco (TWD), will see the stick of opportunity and be absolutely committed to their goals until they succeed.
Much success.
