Of the many things I remember from myself and my children, the one with my neice pops into mind. She had colored her picture the way she saw it. The teacher asked her what color is the tree suppose to be? You colored it the wrong color. Looking at my neice's face drop, my sister spoke up to say that she liked the purple tree much more than the boring green ones which all looked alike. My neice smiled and the teacher didn't speak again...which was perfect :-) It's amazing how much I have banged heads with teachers over allowing my children to be creative. There is no wrong as long as it turns out the way you invision it. great post! I agree that school does this.

The part of the video that keeps sticking with me is "not being afraid to make a mistake". Well, I made at least two this week with my business. Live and learn from it but you have to DO something. Take action. I don’t usually comment on my own posts but this is on my mind.
