All entrepreneurs know what a successful business looks like: Positive Cash Flow. Or, for most of us youngsters, not having to work for someone else.
In the past when I started turning the gears on a new business idea I thought merely of how I could get it into positive cash flow, and how richly I could live. I found myself becoming demotivated pretty quickly, even though I knew the business had a chance and it would be a valuable service to its users and clients. I started questioning my lack of motivation, going as so far into questioning my abilities to ever really make it as an entrepreneur.
So when I started the business I am gearing up now, I did a little soul searching. Actually, I think it was more like my soul found me (that sounds a lot cheesier then soul searching for some reason) when I got an unsuspected gift. A little back-story first.
