Does success depend solely on who you know?

One of the books that I am reading right now is Duncan Bannatyne's "Anyone Can Do It." Duncan is one of the 4 multi-millionaires on Dragon's Den where entrepreneurs present their ideas in hopes of getting an investment in their business.

One of my favorite lines thus far is "my business success was forged from the strength of my personality, not my contacts."

I think this point is really what differentiates an entrepreneurs frame of mind: it's the realization that we don't have everything that we need at any one point, but we have our resourefulness, our initiatie, and a yellow pages to get started.

Today's a great day to get something started. Take a look at the pic of that little kid above -- his personal strength is shining through already.
