Entrepreneurs are brave.  They live in a future that doesn't yet exist...physically.   Your current life, your environment, your bank statement...don't yet show what you're capable of.   And you still move forward, knowing that in the near future, your physical world will catch up to what's in your mind.     We call this the entrepreneurial gap.   And it pulls at you from both sides.    So the question is, where is your mind and how are you managing it?    How are you handling the entrepreneurial gap?    For more information go to MillionaireUniversity.com  To get access to our FREE Business Training course go to MillionaireUniversity.com/training.
