“Success is a journey, not a destination.” This quote is so cliche I hesitate to even type it. But, perhaps it’s so often repeated because it’s true.

It’s one of those things that I tend to take for granted until I am reminded how differently entrepreneurs think than the rest of the world.

My mentor Pat Marcello wrote a good blog post on Twitter the other day. She made a great point about the value of Twitter. Having Twitter followers, Pat says, is like having a sub-list. It got me thinking about how I use Twitter and what kind of people I follow on Twitter.
