Imsorry.com

I have no excuse for not writing over the past two months. I apologize to my few blog readers. I gathered inspiration for this post from Imsorry.com, a website that allows people to send apologetic letters, emails, and gifts. 


Here is an example of a "real apology" from a user, Cody, of Imsorry.com. Im my opinion, Cody screwed up...


"I'm so sorry that they used a picture of you in the paper. It is a very pretty picture of you... but there are very few that aren't pretty. :) All My Love- Cody"


And I screwed up as well, by not blogging for ages; for creating this blog and not committing to it. As soon as I'm back from vacation (1 week) I will re-commit myself to blogging again.


Until then... I'll leave you with this. Liz Murray's life was full of apologies- apologies from her mother, her father, and almost everyone that she ever grew to love. Her book, Breaking Night tells her story of how she went from being homeless, to graduating from Harvard. Although this book is not directly about business, I think aspiring leaders can learn a lot from Liz. In Breaking Night, Liz exhibits great perseverance in stressful and ambiguous situations. Similarly, CEOs, entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone else that is an aspiring business leader face stressful and ambiguous situations on a daily basis. 


Chances are Liz will inspire you, motivate you, or at least shed a different perspective on the daily problems we face.
