In this special edition of the Business Coach newsletter, I'd like to take a moment to celebrate independent contractors, artists, entrepreneurs of all fields. The founders of the United States broke away from their former government in 1776, to create the kind of country that allowed it's people to have the freedom to pursue happiness. And with that, many citizens of my nation have broken away from their former employers to create the kind of business and life that gives themselves satisfaction and the freedom to pursue happiness. Happiness isn't guaranteed, anymore than success is. But count your blessings, today, if you live in a place that guarantees you the right to pursue it! Happy Independence Day. Happy Independents Day. And to our international friends & readers - I hope you live in a place that gives you the right to pursue the life you want for yourself & yourfamily. Happy 4th of July. Sincerely, Meg Meyer The Business Coach site of BellaOnline.com
