Business Lessons from Obama

I'm a huge fan of President-elect Barack Obama and like most people am very inspired by his message.

I started thinking after all the election coverage was over, how unfair it was hearing political pundits talking about whether or not Obama seems presidential. Here is a man being expected to act and sound "presidential" without ever having been the President before!

Surely he has moments where he doesn't feel presidential, but he has to portray that confidence so that the rest of the world can have confidence in him and his abilities as a World leader.

I thought that was a great lesson for entrepreneurs about the importance of portraying a confident image to their clients and potential clients. I wrote a post about it on another of my blogs. You can read it in its entirety here.
