5 Things Entrepreneurs Should Consider Ode to the coconut that we eat, drink and use its oil in so many ways: fiber content, controls diabetes, nutritious and healthy and fights cancer. However we have not been able to corner the market and maximize its full potential. Since our goal is all about empowering our audience, we decided to focus on this fruit that is found all over the island. Should you decide to become an entrepreneur, consider the many things one could do with God’s gift. When is it your time? Do you know? The time is now! It will be the only one you will have; so what are you going to do? If you are contemplating, consider these words of wisdom: 1.
Envy is a waste of time. Accept what you already have, not what you need.
2.
The best is yet to come.
3.
No matter how you feel, get up dress up and show up.
4.
Yield.
5.
Life isn’t tied with a bow, but it’s still a “gift”.
