By Isioma Okenimkpe Paulo Coelho “A child knows how to be happy for no reason, to always be busy with something, and to know how to demand with all his might that which he desires.”  source: Shutterstock I recently became a mother for the first time, and since spending quality time with my little one and bonding with her, it struck me that babies are naturally born entrepreneurs so I thought it might be useful share.
Key Takeaway
First is the newborn baby’s growth. A newborn baby’s growth is like that of a startup, some babies are born bigger while others are born smaller. According to research, the average newborn will weigh in around 7 and half pound and measures about 20 inches long but one thing is for sure, the newborn will lose some weight in the first few days after birth. In fact, nearly all newborns will leave the hospital less than they did when they’re first born. In the same vein, whether you start big or small, every business is created, and nurtured from a basic idea to a functional company, and with this comes its own growing pain and weight loss. The fact is that more than 50% of all businesses will fail within the first 5 years and this is nothing to be afraid of because just like the newborn, you will recoup with the right amount of time, resources, and dedication.

There was a student who had trouble focusing. They were trying to start a business… but they were frustrated because after 6 months of work… They weren’t seeing much progress. And then one day, one of their teachers told them to try meditation. It seemed like an odd suggestion… Yet, they tried it anyway. So one day, the student took about 10 minutes to give this “meditation thing” a try. And after about 2 minutes, they started fidgeting around…  They started thinking about what they were going to have for dinner…
And they wanted to get up. In fact, he only lasted for 6 minutes before he went on with his day. Now… for most people who try meditation- their journey stops there… That’s a problem.
