Why a Journal?

An entrepreneur's journal is a lifelong resource. It's a roadmap of where I've been, where I hope to go, and where I wish I hadn't gone. I'll use it to develop my vision, determine my course, and set short- and long-term goals to get there. I'll use it to make note of things I want or need to learn. I'll record helpful insights and inspiration, as well as resources that inspire and motivate me. I'll include book reviews when I take the time to study literature that guides me in my life. I will refer back to it often when I need to re-ignite the flame of my dreams, remember why I'm doing all this hard work, and keep me focused on my destination. I'll find the strength to continue when I reflect on my accomplishments and the things I've learned from them. I'll read my painful experiences and the lessons gained from them.
