Star Guidance


Trying to develop a business plan isn't easy. Looking to stars asking for guidance gives me more than a few different directions to choose. There is more luck in all the dice of Las Vegas than in small business. I've heard, 99% of all businesses fail in the first 5 years so I guess I am shooting for 5 years and 1 day. That by itself would tide me over until the end of my life, knowing that I personally defeated the odds and 99% of all the people in my way. Those little issues that consume an individual create the fighting spirit. That little man or woman inside everyones head repeating, "You are better than those people!" He yells in my head, making him even more persuasive. Well I guess more persuasive if I go off the example set by all those preachers, pulpit pastors, and TV evangelists. Those men look to the stars and find guidance, why can't I? Oh, right, I'm an atheists, so I need to just keep knowing that in 5 years and 1 day I'll be able to say to myself, "I'm better than those people."
