On Becoming a Warrior Preneur: History

I love this and it's something I have been thinking about a lot over the last day or so. You are teaching me so much Ann and I follow everything you do to learn from you so I'd like to honor you firstly and all other successful entrepreneurs that I'm learning from and I am loving being able to pass small things on to honor those behind. I'm just bubbling with it all right now!

I am thrilled with your success- I often see peeps go out and just forget to give credit. Such a simple thing - link love, a shout out, telling someone who they need to work with- so simple. Yet often what happens is people start innocently sharing what they learned without giving that credit.

Thanks, Ann. You always have such wise words. I couldn't agree with you more. Honor those who came before and who you have learned from and pass on that knowledge. But first, know yourself. I always learn so much from you.

Thank you. I will take this message to heart and look at history. I need to take time to honor the head of the lineage that my training comes from as well as my master teachers. I am always looking how to take the information, mixed with experience and make it my own. Experience is a great teacher too. There is a lot here to ponder.

yes Nancy I say to clients all the time, take the essence of the things you are taught that you love and make them 100% uniquely you- then honoring those before you really means something!

Great message Ann. Sometimes I avoid looking at others that do the same thing as me because it leads me to feel I'm not good enough. I'm working on that and try to link to them as much as I can. We need the ones that came before us to give spark to that inspiration within us.

Credit where credit is due not only honors those who have come before but also us - the adage of paying it forward can only help you as a small business owner to achieve the level of success you are hoping to achieve. I think many times we get caught up in the day to day without recognizing our mentors, peers and ambassadors - all of whom are key to our success - in life or business. So thanks for making us all stop and think and appreciate Annie - you are a true "Warrior-preneur". Andy

Great food for thought Ann. One of my all time favorite quotes and beliefs is "Lift others as you climb." I thought of that as you mentioned the others that come behind us; lots of other stuff such as leave them better than you found them, make a difference, etc.

Being a huge American Idol fan when you said "make it your own" I immediately thought of Kara DioGuardi who says this on every episode! :-) It actually really helped me because I am a singer songwriter also (although too old now for AI), and doing covers the right ways is always the challenge, you need to honor the original song and at the same time "make it your own" - find a way to do it so it makes the song current and totally you. This tip is huge for me when trying to do the same thing on my Cultural Care site and even when wanting to share great info on facebook. Thanks Ann!

Don't be Karaoke! Perfect!

Hi Ann,
I just listened to your Global Teleclass and came to check out your site etc. I am truly impressed by what you do. You have a excellent use of language; ability to organize and concisely express content without talking too fast. I really felt like I benefited from attending your class and want to explore your work further. Many thanks! And yes I agree 57 minutes of terrific content is far better than a full 60 of blahhhhhhhhh, Melinda Furcht, BFRP Compassionate Flower Essence Care

Thanks Melinda for the FABULOUS compliment! I am glad you enjoyed it and hope my site and resources benefit you further!

You are welcome. I look forward to exploring your work further.

Honoring and giving credit to those who came before us is so important, but thanks for also stressing the importance of helping others coming up behind you.

Absolutely Helynna - it's a two way street - many that want success learn form others and never give credit and once "successful" might not help others. Both are critical for Warrior-Preneur success, whether climbing the corporate ladder OR starting out on your own!

We are constantly learning from the pioneers who came before us and it is extremely important to honor & respect them because they will be us in the
future!!

Well said Ann. We all stand on the shoulders of those who changed our minds, or got us thinking in new ways. What I'm also beginning to appreciate, is how acknowledgment of others also forms links in social networking.

Thanks Michael! Sometimes in our busy lives it can be an easy one to forget.

Your theme of respect for those who proceeded us is lost with those who think they are coachable but really are not. Like what you are doing. this social networking stuff is fun.

Richard I love the quote! And what a great thought - I meet many "uncoachables" like I am sure you do in developing your team. What's amazing is they actually think they have original ideas too!!

I love where you are going on this. How many ideas are truly 100% your idea and have zero influence from others? Giving credit where credit is due and learning from others is key. Expending on the ideas of another is what makes innovation happen, but give credit to the brain child. I love your disagreement segment. You can disagree without being disrespectful. That's key. ANN YOU ROCK!!! great video!

Wow Tommy! Thank you so much! History creates so much opportunity and I feel like it is often lost especially in the new virtual worked we live in. Sometimes we need to stop and think about where we learned it!
