"If you've ever played sports, you're a natural entrepreneur." Love it, it's usually true!

I really like this post -- and especially when you get into the 3rd point about setting both long and SHORT-term goals. We may want that big house on the cliffside, but we can't get there just by wanting it! One has to act on small daily, monthy, and annual goals.

You also touch on teams and mentorship, which I appreciate as well. I'd be a lot more confused right now if it weren't for a series of mentors.

This is near and dear to me 'cause I just wrote about it on my blog the other day!

Have a look if you'd like. It's a pretty short post about my 10K running training and thoughts on goals.
