Hello All,
Hope everyone is having a grand New Year! 2008 is definately a year of new beginnings. I write now to tell you of the latest events in my life and business. I like being able to share with you my experiences so that maybe, just maybe, I may help someone along the way.
When I first started on this journey called NorrisNetwork, I was optimistic, enthusiastic, and opportunistic. I knew everything was going to be rosy. After all, God ordained it didn't He? (Yes, He did by the way). I had events planned, I had investors lined up, I had a bulletproof business plan, and many brave souls who wanted to be involved. Slowly, people began to fade. Phone calls of those so eager to help in the beginning went unanswered. Investors who had pledged thousands of dollars to support the initiative instead had other things "come up" suddenly. Family and friends scoffed, "why don't you get a real job" at me. Many, save three gentlemen (P-Nut, Edward Shaw, Ken Nettles, I love you guys), now doubted the same dream they rallied behind only a few months earlier. So that made me learn alot about people and their places in your life. Be careful who you share your dreams with. The same people who praise you will scorn and ridicule you. I am a living witness, as Im sure some of you are.
Life has a way of challenging the fiber of one's soul. Sure, we would all like to skate through life and have no problems or bumps in the road. But, I ask how would we grow? How would we learn? How would we be able to minister to others? We couldn't! That is the point. The last few months has taught me to be even more resilient in what God has called me to be! NorrisNetwork is now as vibrant and as strong as ever! Watch out!
I encourage you to BE BOLD!
