For Every Idea
The Entrepreneur's Credo
by MIKE O'DONNELL

For every yes, there will be ten no's
for every high, there will be three lows

For every wrong reason, there will not be a right
for every decision, no black and white.

For every ounce of confidence, a pound of doubt
for every dollar in, three will go out.

For every false start, there need only be one that is true
for every idea not pursued, denies the entrepreneur in you.
