Building a business is very much like putting a puzzle together. We begin with a clear picture of the end goal, we work on little pieces while knowing they have to fit into the end result, we collaborate with others and compliment them, our brain releases dopamine with our little wins to encourage us on, and many more benefits occur. You might even find your great idea while working on a puzzle.

A puzzle has many of the same benefits and processes as starting a business and can really help you if you’re feeling stuck:- You have a clear picture of the end goal.
- You can start immediately segmenting and grouping pieces to determine what fits together.
- Different people can work on separate projects, realizing that eventually everything fits together for the big picture.
- Puzzles foster cooperation, mutual respect and social connection.
- You don’t have to stick with one vision forever. You can put it back into the box and start another one.

Check out last week’s podcast with Kent Julian about framing your message. You never want to get so relaxed that you don’t take it seriously. The goal is not to remove fear.

It can help us if we understand our fears and how to use them to our advantage.Can I use a quotation from a copyrighted book in my own book?
I use quotations liberally in my books. They offer an implied credibility lift in associated yourself with people who have a lot of credibility. You can use those without asking permission. If you use 250 words or more, you do need to get permission from a publisher. But if you’re using poetry or song lyrics, you have to really be careful about. In terms of a song, like “Taking Care of Business” that I use at the beginning of the podcast, I have a licensing agreement with Sony to use that.Quotation:
