Is there a fortune in your future?

Yesterday we talked about self-discipline and good habits.
Today we’re going to talk about success in business.
Have you ever dreamed of owning your own business?
I had thought about it . . . maybe one of these days.
But I was happy working on newspapers and covering news.
Then my newspaper in Philadelphia folded. I was out of a job.
Suddenly I became, by default, an entrepreneur.
Was it a bad break? No. It changed my life.
It thrust our family onto a new path — to business ownership.
Only 12% of Americans own and operate their own business.
But look at statistics for the top 10% of wealthy Americans.
Of them, 21% own and operate their own businesses.
Family-owned businesses are a source of great wealth.
And that number is expanding with new, startup businesses.
Entrepreneurs are amassing fortunes. Why can't you?
Over the next few weeks, we’re going to talk about doing this.
I’ll share with you the lessons we learned in our own journey.
Now we own three companies plus real estate investments.
Real estate is a great place for your to grow your wealth.
There’s no reason you can’t do what we’re done — and more.
Next week I’ll share ideas to help you succeed in business.

Since I adore Bon Jovi I'll try to quote one of their songs:
Every new beginning is some beginning's end.

And very often it is just you who is in charge for all the changes for best in your life. But I also believe in destiny. Do you?
