Perspective is not simply a solution to a single problem or common entrepreneurial challenges. Rather it is the energy that brings new life to a challenge. It brings new solutions to a roadblock and new ideas to a quagmire. Perspective is the oxygen that fuels your ability to thrive while facing the personal and business challenges of being an entrepreneur.

Perspective is a skill that must be developed, nurtured and brought to each and every situation you encounter. Think of it as a tool in your toolkit that you put on the table when you enter a meeting. Not a hammer, but a “Swiss Army knife” or “Leatherman” with multiple blades, scissors, pliers, a screwdriver—one tool that offers you unlimited strategies for problem solving with no other obstacle than your own creativity and vision.

This is the power of perspective. When you’re receptive to a new point of view and flexible enough to shift your thinking, you have an enormous advantage in the entrepreneurial landscape as new obstacles and old ways of seeing things threaten to halt your progress. It can help you make immediate changes for your business, and it can change the way you see the world for years to come.

Don’t underestimate the power of perspective, it will determine your success of failure.
