An Ode to the Entrepreneurial Spirit
When a new idea began to take hold
Others muttered, ‘just do as you are told’
Stick to the proven path taken all the time
Don’t simply digress; for no reason or rhyme
—
They say many have cruelly fallen by the side
Unable to recognize the subtle change of tide
Taking the offbeat road is not the course for all
The cynics lie in wait; ever eager to watch you fall
—
Pursuing your business dream is always a lonely trail
You will frequently knock on doors, often to no avail
Selling your concept every step, can be an exhausting drive
But for some reason, nothing ever made you feel as much alive
—
Every small victory beats to the loud applause of your heart
For there is no one else around, you are only making a start
But you dream of the time when others will share the weight
And your office will come alive, with the sounds of lively debate
—
Time loses all its meaning, weekends hold fancy no more
All you can think of is, ‘what has been this month’s score?’
Your pursuit becomes your hobby; nothing else is on your mind
However far you venture, you always feel you are two steps behind
—
Your friends proudly flaunt their massive salary pay slips
Translating into swanky villas, fancy cars and incessant world trips
You smile, because you feel you can glimpse the picture as a whole
You are still the captain of your ship, and the master of your soul
—
One day will surely dawn, when things will fall in place
One day you will feel, quite the lord of time and space
The voyage to that port, is now the very life of your story
Of courage, talent and passion; and the quest for elusive glory
My wish for you is to have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year!
To your business success,
Susan Friesen
