Darkside of Entrepreneurship

Hello all,

Today when many think about entreprenuership, they only think about the positive possibilities. They think about the possible potential of income, being your own boss, flexible schedule, and material things. I have learned first hand that those images are products of advertising. Yes there are some entrepreneurs that fit that mode, but there are far more who don't. Personally, I have dealt with depression, loneliness, no money, failure, shame, and doubt. It has taken an incredible amount of energy to stay sane along my journey. I still keep going no matter what because I still believe, yet, it has taken the patience of my spouse, children, and brother to help keep me sane. If you are an entrepreneur Im sure you understand this difficult journey, just remember to talk to others about your issues and to know that you are not alone. To anyone who knows an entrepreur, show them some love, especially if they are successful because they had to endure a hell of a journey!!!!

Crawl

Hello All, Last few weeks have been difficult, trying to get organized with family and business. I continue to have this battle with patience even though I believe that things are progressing at the right speed. I know that for success to be sustainable I must look at it like a child. First a child crawls, then walks, and finally runs. Business is the same way, as new entrepreneur trying to create and learn require time otherwise the business won't develop properly. Similarly, when I am stressed and down because I want to see faster progress or even when I feel like quitting, I just hang in there and take one step at at time. I basically crawl, walk, and than run back to sanity. Before you know it Im flying high again with enthusiasm. This is a lesson I will have to take with me on my journey in life. CRAWL, WALK, RUN 6/21/17, Ramon Reese

Frustrations

Hello all, The last 24 hours have been a little frustrating. I was both stressed and excited about our second periscope. I was up 2 hours prior to the live broadcast, however, we unable to put together a quality broadcast. Trying to broadcast live from Denver, and South America was a challenge for both my brother and I. We struggled to keep my brother live and being a novice I struggled to handle microphone issues. Unfortunately, I had to finish the broadcast and deal with microphone issues for 3 minutes live. Fortunately, we didn't have any viewers on during the live broadcast, however, I accidentally deleted the video so anyone wanting to see a replay will think that we were incompetent and failed to make a broadcast for our second episode during the scheduled time. I have spoken to my brother and we have created a plan to rectify these issues. After calming down I realize we should be grateful for discovering these issues now before we have actually gained a following. I...

Leftover

Hey all, Even though the thought of having leftovers seems to have a negative connotation, for most dishes leftovers seem to taste better in my opinion. Maybe it is because the flavor settled or maybe I didn't appreciate the flavor the first time. I'm starting to look at life that way. How many of us would risk it all to find our authentic selves? Meaning how many would give up our current way of life, the money, cars, and job for a chance to discover ourselves? How many would be satisfied with what is leftover after you get rid of glamour around stuff. It can be difficult to grasp but, we are not our money, we are not the stuff we accumulated, we are not our jobs. We were probably much happier before we accumulated that stuff we thought would enhance our lives and our identity. It took me a while to figure out that none of that stuff truly made me happy. Instead of being happy with myself I wanted what others had. Now, I am on a spiritual journey to help others through m...
