CONNECTED

CONNECTED

by Laron Henderson

I’m a solo entrepreneur

I have no idea what I’m about to endure What have I gotten myself into?

I’m nervous about this new venture

Something that wasn’t taught to me in school

Man, who am I kidding? I can’t do this! But wait a minute, what if I can!

What if I become connected!

What if I get around other entrepreneurs in the community!

Who else has taken this path to prosperity!

Who can I connect with, get to know? How can I help others in their businesses?

Who can mentor, mold me into being the business owner that I want to be!

Who else has beaten down this door to entrepreneurship!

Kicked it in with fearlessness!

I got to get connected!

I can’t do this alone! Got to get myself known!

I’m going to make mistakes along the way! I can get around others who already made them

Learn from them, they can guide my hand to make less of them The journey may be long On my path to greatness Must take the road less traveled No man is an island Can’t do it alone!

Learn, grow from coaches and mentors

Those who’ve done it long before me

They can see my blind spots

Show me the ropes, give me faith and hope Grow, get better Then I can guide the next generation We can all help each other connect someone

To a customer or new client

Who knows who, who needs a friend’s service

Who can I reach out to, to help another’s business

Who can I reach out to, to make a difference

Real estate, financial planner, banker, baker, wedding planner, insurance agent

We all need one another Let’s grow together, connect, network together

Let’s keep each other in mind when doing business

Let’s listen to each other’s needs, make recommendations

People do business with those they like know and trust Let’s communicate, help make each other great

All we have to do is connect!
