Behold: the goat. Not exactly a thing of grace and beauty, is it?Scruffy. Bedraggled. That wiry coat, always covered in dust. And yet, I’m obsessed with them. I could quite happily — and I’m serious about this — watch goats doing their thing… for hours.You see: goats inspire me to be a better entrepreneur. Especially right now.Why?Because they can thrive in any environment..Goats don’t complain. No matter how tough things get. They’ll eat the dry grass, right down to the root, to squeeze out a little moisture. They don’t mind thorns. They’ll stand on their hind legs, necks straining to nibble on some low-lying tree branch. They’ll roam at a constant pace, living on their instincts, determined to make it to the end of the day.They do all this without feeling sorry for themselves.Without sulking.Without giving up.Without falling into depression.Without hesitating to move on when necessary.Goats know how to make the best of a bad situation.They survive, because they give themselves no other option..How does that Setswana saying go?E ya re go tlogelwa tsatsing, se ikise moruting.'When out in the burning sun, a creature will find the shade.' Right? Running my business like a goat has always served me well.It will serve you well, too. I promise.What do you think? Are you ready to awaken the goat within you this yearYou'll be hearing from me soon.
