In this world, there are many different types of people. We all approach a difficult situation differently. While one person might attack a problem with voracity, another might decide to shelf it until a solution presents itself, while still another person might decide that they aren’t capable of solving the situation, and either seek outside help or give up entirely.
I know a woman who demonstrates a dedication and voracity that is rarely matched, with an eye for creativity in the face of her problem. This woman has 2 children, both boys. She would very much like to try for a girl, but she needs to have a surgery to be able to try for her baby girl. This will cost several thousand dollars that is not covered by her insurance, so, she was faced with a difficult situation. She did not cower or give up, though. Instead, she has decided to start a side business outside of her normal job. She is quite talented at decorating cakes, and so, she has taken that talent and turned it into income! She is offering cakes to friends, family, and anyone else interested in visually interesting cakes for a reasonable price. Her goal is to save up enough money to pay for the surgery. This is not a woman beaten by her circumstances. I always say that you can’t let life happen to you, you have to happen to your life…and she is doing just that!
What type of dedication do you have? Do you rise to the occasion when you are faced with a problem, or ponder on it too long, or do nothing? Whatever your answer, you can be sure that others are starting businesses in their kitchen, getting their extra slice of the money pie. Will you let your opportunity pass you by, or rise to the occasion?
