Entrepreneurship isn't new to me. In fact, being so familiar with it held me back from it. I had firm beliefs about it. I had seen its benefits, and I had seen the drawbacks. I had seen what it took to be successful, and I knew success was attainable with enough grit and persistence. I wasn't afraid of the hard work. I just didn't hunger for it. For years I thought I wanted basic. I just wanted a simple clock punching/flat salary J - O - B. I didn't want complicated. I didn't want stress. I didn't even care about being rich. I just wanted a check every two weeks. Simple. Black. White.
So to come full circle and become an entrepreneur, to actually desire it, to live it, to think about it when you get up, when you go to sleep.....let's just say has been a journey.
Most people that know me know I'm stubborn as a mule. And I was stubbornly dead set against entrepreneurship. So to finally come to that realization that entrepreneurship was only way I was going to achieve my goals was a little shocking. It's been a journey. A process. I didn't just wake up one morning and BAM know that entrepreneurship was the right move. The realization came slowly....in phases.
And so here I am now, plodding my way, building a business, MY business. And as I plod along, figuring it out, failing, and succeeding, I thought this blog would be great way to record my journey. Talk about what it took to get here.....to this decision of entrepreneurship. To talk about my plunge into the deep, my flailing, trying to figure it all out as I go, lack of expertise on the online business world. And by talking maybe I can help a few others discover their path as I describe how I got here and as I get to where I'm going. Or maybe I'm just trying to keep my sanity, and this is therapy! Whatever the reason, I'm glad that you have found me here. Welcome! Let's do this thing!
