Does My Yabut Look Big in These Excuse Pants? Entrepreneur and Life Lesson

Utter freaking geniusness. This may be one of your best posts yet. I don't comment here often – yesterday's mammoth comment aside – but I was listening to one of your cinchcasts where you mentioned about the people who listen to/watch all this stuff and don't comment and I thought 'hang on. I'm doing that.' Am rectifying that this week. I'll probably disappear back into the mist again in a few days, but know I'm checking in even if I don't comment. I get how much effort you're putting in, and how much free advice you're handing out. It's appreciated.

I'd like to recommend The Chris Voss Show on LinkedIn as I'm sure loads of business people would benefit from your advice. There's endless 'all style, no substance' social media biz-lite fluff doing the rounds and it's good to have a voice in the mix with a solid business background.

Thanks bud, I dont remember the excuse line from Platoon, would love to hear
it. When I had my business, I thought maybe I should just change my title
to chief problem solver. It occurred to me thats pretty much most of what I
did.

Hi Chris,
Another great post!!! It is all about “mind over matter”. . . getting “started” is the first piece as you said, but you also have to have a PASSION for what you do~ like you do for the Chris Voss Show (THE CHRIS VOSS SHOW!!!)! That is the difference, i my opinion. Sometimes things can be rough~ we all have rocky roads when starting out, but you can't give up if it is REALLY something that you want! As you well know, there are those that talk a lot and do nothing, and those who are doers. MAybe they want it handed over to them- I could be wrong, but they (“YABUT's) are not the doers because “things” (in my humble opinion) may not be perfect.

I have a small healthcare company. It has been a dream for the past ten years that finally came to frution after working for someone else for 28 years as though it was my own- this business only happened a few years ago after many years of research, some sleepless nights, hard work and persistence. YEAH, what a great feeling, finally but then then we had the worst ecomonic downturn. . . I can't close down, tear down the building, or even think that my business will NOT succeed. Yeah, it can be rocky at times and we have to make sacrifices, but I have wanted this for so long, there is no way I walk out away. . . Dream it and Believe it!!!
Thanks as always for your awesome perspective on the real world -:) Paula
