What is about the most universally annoying thing?  I dislike whining of all sorts.  The worst is a whiney cat.  Just Google search the term "whiny cat" and you will discover people from all parts are trying to find out how to make their cat jut shut up.  I currently have 2 cats.  Each is given to fits of whining  in their own way. 

Like when one is in the window and the other one has to wait her turn. The whining can really rub me the wrong way.

Another thing that really gets to me is when I see fellow small business owners whine about their situation but do nothing to improve it. 

The great advantage a small business has over the mega corporations is agility and flexibility.  That means you can quickly tack with the winds of change, while the mega corp tankers must slow and then turn.

Rick Warren, the founder of a California mega church likens growing a church to surfing.  You paddle out and then watch the water and look for waves.  Surfing is as much about knowing which swell will become a wave as actually balancing on the board.  You watch for your wave and then go for it! Get ready for the ride of your life.

Running a successful small business and continuing to grow it is very much like being that surfer.  Watch the swells, find your wave and ride it in.  Of course, then it is time to paddle out and do it all over again.

I've built and sold several small businesses, known many successful small business owners and one thing we have in common is NO WHINING!

You have within you the ability to build a great business and be successful but only if you are willing to do the work and STOP WHINING!

This blog will share the insights and tips I have developed after building several successful businesses.  I won't tell you how to get rich quick, because only a fool believes that is possible.  But what I will tell you is that your success in business will depend not on luck but by using tried and true methods methods for building a business that work.

So stop yer whining

You sound like my cats
