So you want to be an entrepreneur
Here at the Copperas Cove
EDC we get a pretty good
amount of foot traffic every day.
Some folks drop in to ask for
directions. Not too long ago
someone traveling through
Texas wanted to know how to
get to the nearest WhataBurger!
Well, they got directions to our
WhataBurger but not before we
suggested Mel’s which is right
across the street. If they were
looking for a unique burger
experience Mel and her crew
could serve one up in no time at
all. Others are looking for the
place where residents pay their
utility bills. Still others come in
thinking we are City Hall. We
do the best we can to help these
folks find their way to wherever
they need or want to be.
Still others come in looking
for information about how they
can start their own business.
They want to be entrepreneurs.
And that is what this month’s
article is about.
Well, we always take the
time to talk to these
folks and this is
just a little bit
about what we dis-
cuss.
In a first meet-
ing we mostly ask
questions instead of
giving advice. The
answers to the
questions we ask
allow us to make a
pretty good judg-
ment about what
these folks need to
do next.
The questions
we ask go some-
thing like this:
Do you con-
sider yourself a
great sales person?
Could you sell ice to an Eski-
mo? You better be good at sell-
ing because those you will be
selling to include potential
investors and employees, con-
sumers, financial lenders, even
your spouse. Heck, he or she

may think you are
crazy for thinking
you can make
money with this
idea of starting
your own business.
How are you
at self-discipline?
It is going to take
a lot of that to cre-
ate and keep a suc-
cessful business. I
could write a book
(maybe someday I
will) about folks
that had a great
business idea but
did not have the
necessary disci-
pline to stick with
it. Many small
businesses die pre-
maturely because the owner just
did not have the willingness to
do what was necessary.
How are you at taking
risks? How about your spouse?
Over the next few years you
will have plenty of opportunities
to risk it all in an effort to move
your business forward. Some-
day readers, when we have
time, I’ll tell you about my
friend Jaime and the risks he
and his wife took as they made
their way to achieve the Ameri-
can dream of owning a success-
ful business and retiring
wealthy.
Are you a leader or a fol-
lower? As a business owner
you will have to lead. People
will rely on you and trust you to
make the right decisions. Being
a leader is often a lonely thing.
Are you willing and able to
ask for help. Over the many
years I have done this kind of
work I have seen few, very few,
entrepreneurs that are comfort-
able asking for help. Most
often, when an owner recog-
nizes they need help it is too
late to save the business.
Are you willing to accept
failure? If you fall on your face
are you willing to get up and try
again? Sometimes this is the
only way to succeed.
These are just a few of the
questions we ask in that initial
meeting. Then, before we close,
we leave them with a few
thoughts.
Entrepreneurship can be
very rewarding. You will work
very hard but you will also
enjoy the fruits of your labor.
You will never work harder for
someone else than you will for
yourself. You will learn and use
significant skills such as market-
ing, accounting, negotiating, and
selling and you will be a better
business person because of
learning those skills.
I personally close my com-
ments by telling potential entre-
preneurs that when I reflect
back the happiest and most sat-
isfied people I have ever known
are people that own their own
businesses.

enough to accommodate bicy-

The FM 2657 project, which
began in September of 2012,
extends from the last red light in
Copperas Cove on U.S. Highway
190 south to CR 4744. Big Creek
Construction, Ltd. of Hewitt is
the contractor for the project.
Dara Waldrip, public infor-
mation officer with the Brown-
wood District of TxDOT, recent-
ly shared an update of the project.
“Crews are almost finished
with the first phase, which
involves work on the east side of
the northern half of the project
and on the west side of the south-
ern end,” Waldrip said, adding
that this phase should be com-
plete in about six weeks. She said
that crew members were finish-
ing up work on the road base and
would then seal coat it.
Waldrip said that once this

Three terms and nearly two decades later,
Coke came home after a distinguished tour of
duty in Washington. Retirement proved tragi-
cally brief, when he died at his Waco home on
May 14, 1897 at the age of 68.
Everybody who was anybody in Texas
attended the funeral. The melancholy occa-
sion was turned into a terrifying ordeal by a
Lowry
sudden storm that soaked the mourners to the
skin on the way to the cemetery.
Lightning bathed the sad scene in an eerie
glow, and deafening claps of thunder drowned
out the prayers of the minister. The casket
was lowered into the grave only to be carried
back to the surface by the rising water.
It was as if old Richard Coke was not
quite ready to leave the Lone Star State for
the hereafter, a sentiment any true Texan can
understand.

for them. That's what you are
about. And that's what this
country is about."
Before that crowd, he
might have gotten rousing
applause, but talking in such
honest terms would have
been a gross faux pas. The
unwritten rule when the left
discusses abortion is that it
shouldn't be called "abor-
tion," but always "health" or,
more specifically "reproduc-
tive health" — although abor-
tion is the opposite of repro-
duction and, for one party
involved, the opposite of
health.
The trial of Philadelphia
abortionist Kermit Gosnell
has been an exercise in strip-
ping away euphemism. He is
accused of murdering babies
because he allegedly didn't
manage to kill them in the
womb and had to finish the
job outside the womb. His
case is so discomfiting for
liberals not only because it is
such a stark picture of the
seamy, money-grubbing side
of abortion, but because it
illustrates how slight the dif-
ference is between late-term
abortion — or late-term
"health" — and what nearly
everyone recognizes as a
crime.
In a story about the case,
The New York Times referred
to the newborns killed by
Gosnell as "fetuses." The def-
inition of a fetus according to
Merriam-Webster is "an
unborn or unhatched verte-
brate." By definition, the
newborns weren't fetuses;
they weren't unborn. But the
Times couldn't bring itself to
use the word "baby."
This is the crux of the
matter: If it is a baby outside
the womb, why not inside the
womb? If a procedure to end
its life is wrong outside the
womb, why isn't it wrong
inside the womb?
The essence of abortion
is that there are two lives
when you start and one when
you finish. If it were your
business to perform them and
fight all restrictions on them,
no matter how slight, you
wouldn't want to be forthright
and honest about it, either.

part is complete, traffic would be
switched to the newly finished
portions of the road (as well as a
few temporary tie-in sections that
have been built) so work can con-
tinue on the unfinished sections.
Other work on this part of
the project, she said, has included
grading, base work, widening,
drainage culvert work, as well as
curb and gutter construction.
Waldrip said that FM 2657 is
being lowered in some areas to
“bring about a more even grade in
the roadway, smoothing out some
of the curves to make for safer
travel.”
She added that the “project is
moving along well. The schedule
calls for completion by summer
of 2014, but we may finish earli-
er if we don’t encounter any
unforeseen circumstances or have
significant weather delays.”
Doug Christensen, owner of
Christensen’s, which is located at
the intersection of FM 2657 and
FM 2808, said he has followed
the project from the beginning,
having attended many of the pub-
lic meetings regarding the proj-
ect.
“We hope that they’ll
(TxDOT) will finish it up in a
way that will beneficial to
landowners along the route and
that business owners and home-
owners will have equal or better
access to their businesses or
homes,” Christensen said.
