Page 7 - Sorry, We're Not Hiring Any Visionaries Today

INTRODUCTION
WARNING — this is not a typical business book.
I wonder if it should even be classified as a business book.
This book is aimed at those who want to start a small business.
It’s also aimed at those struggling in high school trying to figure out a path. While we’re at it, it can also help those trying to find a direction in their lives after high school, college, or their last job.
It’s also for those folks like me who never seemed to fit in the world of 9 to 5.
I love thinking about the future, and yes, I’ll admit it: I am a visionary and entrepreneur, but I find myself drawn to the former at the expense of the latter.
I don’t care what stage you’re at. If you’re reading this book, I thank you. The roots of this book lie with one specific message:
KNOW YOURSELF FIRST.
Before you start anything, write down any goals, or begin a quest, you must
KNOW YOURSELF FIRST.
I wish I’d read this book when I was 18. Or 30 or 50.
But that’s not possible because I am turning 60 this year.
There are a few reasons that you should KNOW YOURSELF FIRST.
WHY IS THIS SO VITAL?
Most people are on a quest to find balance and harmony. I consider harmony the bi-product of balance.
