Entrepreneur - In What Scale and Time
After posting my last development update, and as I was clearing my workspace to begin coding, one of my all-time favorite songs began to play, “Cinderella Man” by Rush (A Farewell to Kings, 1977). There is one specific verse that always caught my attention:
Cinderella man
Hang on to your plans
Try as they might
They cannot steal your dreams
LYRICS: “Cinderella Man”, Rush, A Farewell to Kings, 1977
Back in those days, the exit from the sixties and entry into seventies was changing rock music. In a very short time stadium rock was really taking hold - in fact, we had the “Day on the Green” series here in the Bay Area. War protest rock grew up and transitioned into bringing the plight of the every-day man to the fore.
Did you read the verse above? If you have the heart of an entrepreneur, does that verse ring true, to your core? Every dang day that you get up, it’s a new day, and this new day brings another opportunity to fulfill your dreams in a big way. Whether you’re the “big cheese” or a one-person company, your dreams are important and those dreams will propel you to success - no matter the era from which you hail.
Just 100 years ago, it was a rarity that an every-day man would be the head of a company, large or small. In fact, those that were in charge of driving the economy were often benefactors of an inheritance. Today, anyone, woman or man, any race, any ethnic background, from any country around the world, can realize their dreams and succeed. No matter the size of the company and no matter how long it takes, realize your dreams!
In the powerful voice of Geddy Lee, “Hang on to your plans … They cannot steal your dreams.”
