Trusting Myself

Hello All,

On this journey there has been highs but mostly lows thus far. The highs, I have learned more things about myself than any other period of my life. I have also experienced tremendous growth during this period. On the other hand,  the lows include not feeling comfortable financially, feeling very alone in my struggle, and not receiving the response I wanted on our platforms.

It is during these times that I have to dig deep to remember why I am doing this. I wanted to help contribute my gifts to society in a meaningful way. I utilized my intuition, personality test, skills, interest, and hobbies to determine my direction and career path.  Making my own career was one of the most planned and evaluated choices of my life.

The problem is I want certainty and guaranteed success. And when my ideals don't match my hopes I begin to doubt myself. But, how could I expect not to fail when doing something new, I had to work extremely hard for anything else in my life. So I have made it thus far in life and my life has been pretty exceptional.

I just need a little reality check, instead of trusting in early results, I need to trust myself and be patient.

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...

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 journ...

Rollercoaster

Hello All, My Journey of entrepreneurship has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions. On my good days, I am very excited, full of energy, and have the belief that I am only a few steps away from massive success. On my bad days, I am lonely, irritable, and worried about the possibility of failure. It seems like right after I have a good day, it is followed up by one of my bad days. I'm not sure if it is because of my personality, overthinking, or because of my generational experiences. I struggle with patience, yet, I know if things happened as fast as I wanted them to I wouldn't be able to handle them. I have faith in my intuition, yet, I share the same fear of the unknown and uncomfortable. I know in my heart this is the right move but being unable to predict the future is nerve racking. Uncertainty is what makes life beautiful, I know this yet, it is hard to experience. Just having the opportunity to chase my dreams is more than billions around the world can ...
