It is a great blessing to be able to Follow Your Dreams! To be offered the moment in time where you get to build something of your vision and take it to the world.Not everyone gets that opportunity and not everyone who does so succeeds, in fact many of us fail, many times over, and we know ahead of starting out that the dangerous rocks of the journey are most likely to get us on the way.So what makes us take that leap of faith? What spurs us to back our endeavours with our time, our energy, our money and our life force? What kind of mental and emotional make up is needed not only to start, but to survive and thrive on such a voyage of discovery?In seeking the answer to that question we look to the failures, the examples of success and the many ‘works in progress’ from which we can learn and this is what brings us to the drive behind Founder Friday.More information at https://canopycommunity.substack.com/p/founderfridaywhat-is-it-all-about
