When you encourage others, you in the process are encouraged because you’re making a commitment and difference in that person’s life. Encouragement really does make a difference. -Zig Ziglar My own experience is that there is no real effort in life that is not done better with encouragement of our fellow men. -Charles M. Schwab Nine tenths of education is encouragement. -Anatole France This episode I discuss the common misconceptions about encouragement. My perspective is that encouragement is a powerful tool. As adults we sometimes forget that we need encouragement. It does seem that some folks need and give encouragement more than others. Sometimes just one little comment can make a big difference coming from someone who rarely gives out compliments. Sometimes silence is the best way to help someone learn. Etymology: En=Make,put in. Courage=Heart,bravery “make strong,hearten” Check out my blog post on "Encouragement" Lets work together to build a community that encourages one another. Come tell us about a time you achieved a goal with the help of some encouragement.

I met Michael online, loved his posts on Facebook and his inspiring emails. I decided to reach out and he was kind enough to set aside some time and meet up with me for an awesome discussion about becoming an entrepreneur. Michael has run his own business and learned some unique lessons about the inner journey. He studies and speaks about the mind, our greatest obstacle of all. I had a great time getting his point of view on dealing with low points, the difficulty of getting started, and the tough spots that occur when trying to make a big change.

After multiple attempts, I decided to make this the very first episode. Like I am saying, starting out is the hardest part! Creating the first podcast totally confirms my feeling that getting started is super difficult. When you decide to begin a new venture there are so many unknowns. I have dealt with anxiety, depression, and fears. Challenges with money. I can't tell you how to make lots of money yet because I haven't figured it all out yet. What I can do is share my stories and my journey. I can provide you with information and knowledge as I acquire it. I can provide motivation for you to move forward on your dreams. I can provide as an example of mistakes not to make! I will also be sharing advice and discussions with other entrepreneurs who have skills and wisdom and experience. Let's work together to free ourselves. It's no fun to feel trapped. Time to learn to become our own boss! Come along with me on this journey. Chris Jantzen Starting From Scratch Email GroupDownload.
