What inspires you?

Today is the Boston Marathon and all weekend the city has been
flooded with thousands of runners and their families.
I can feel the energy, excitement and emotions as they wait out the
couple days before the “big run” today.

Right now as I am writing this runners are boarding busses to
Hopkington with their running clubs.

So how is this relevent to you.

Well, running a marathon is like running a business. It take a
thougth for the concept to be born for both a business and running a
marathon. Both take months, sometimes years of planning. Both take
a willingness to make changes in your life. Both take a willingness
to grow personally. Both take a commitment to the goal and
perseverence to continue when it is difficult.

Many people decide to run a marathon because they were inspired by a
person or event. I ran a marathon in 1997 in memory of my
grandmother who was horribly crippled by osteoporosis for over 50
years. I figured if she could struggle so hard just to walk, I would
run for her. That was over 10 years ago and I still remember it
vividly.

So what has inspired you to:
- start your business?
- make a life change?
- do something different?
