The important skills

So you have been working hard for years climbing the ladder.Maybe you are still near the bottom of the ladder or maybe you have  even gotten to the top,where you are on the ladder doesn't really matter.what matters is the question that you may have forgotten to ask before putting in all that time and effort climbing.Where is this ladder planted?It doesn't matter how fast or high you climb the ladders if it's leaning against the wrong wall.
    Most people assume that their financial standing is defined by how much they earn and how much they are worth.there's no doubt that has some bearing.but even more important than the quantity of money you make is the quality of money you make.Not just how much you make but how you make it,where it comes from.Where do you belong
*E-Employee
*S-Self-employed
*B-Business owner
*I-Investor
    Being an entrepreneur and building a B quadrant business is not easy.it is one of the toughest challenges a person can take..If you are going to be successful in business there are technical skills you need to learn that you probably didn't learn in school eg The ability to get organised and set your own agenda.you may work very very hard in the E quadrant yet have no experience at setting goals,organizing a plan of action,setting your agenda,managing your time and executing a productive action.Many people do not have these basic skills.it is shocking but not surprising.after all in the E quadrant you don't really need them but if you want to enter or be successful in the B quadrant they are not options.they are as important as knowing the skills of how to balance check,write a financial plan and read an annual report.The winner is in you and the loser is in you.SomTee
