    Home Business Lessons from the Olympics

    2008_summer_olympics_opening_ceremo
    Many people are rather excited about the Summer Olympics. I must admit that I, for the most part, only watch the swimming events. Sometimes I watch soccer with my husband.

    At any rate, there are all sorts of lessons to be learned from the Olympics, and some of them are even relevant to your home business. Here are five things that Brandie Kajino, at the Home Office Organizer, has learned from the Olympics:

    1. Nothing replaces hard work.
    2. Winning with your friends around rocks.
    3. Life isn’t always fair.
    4. Everyone has a story.
    5. We really can all get along.

    I would also like to add that the Olympics inspires me with stories of persistence and dedication. Many athletes participating in the Olympics have admirable stories of persistence in the face of overwhelming odds, as well as dedication to see their training through. Both are traits needed for a successful home business.

    Are there lessons you are learning from the Olympics?

    Thanks for the mention. It's true that persistence and dedication are important in home business. The reward of working from home is great if you have both of these. :)
