What is Courage in Business?
But first what is courage?
"Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared."
~ WWI combat pilot Eddie Rickenbacker
Courage in business could mean doing any of the following:
- Making a cold call
- Starting a new business
- Booking a 12-month advertising campaign
- Saying 'NO' to a customer
- Saying 'NO' to an advertising rep
- Going against conventional business wisdom
- Hiring a consultant
- Making a presentation
- Asking for help
- Borrowing money
- Running with ads that well... don't sound like normal ads
- Voicing your own ads
- Attending a workshop
- Moving location
- Investing in new technology
Being the owner of a business means facing up to fears everyday.
Can you think of any more?
