Entrepreneurship is always a work in progress.
If you think you have it down flat, you’re dead. It’s just like life. When you stop wanting to learn, you keel over or walk around like a zombie.
Learning is what we are put on this earth for. At least, that’s what I believe. However, you can’t just learn. You have to DO.
I checked out a fabulous blog yesterday. It’s called The Middle Finger Project. I fell in love. Ash, the author, is a sassy, gutsy young woman who travels the world and does it as a digital entrepreneur. I want to grow up to be like her! (Even though I could probably be her mother.)

Well, maybe sans the F words. It’s just not me, but believe it or not, it is endearing when she does it. That’s because she’s not afraid to put her unique and gutsy personality out there. You either love her or you hate her. Given the fact she is making about $10,000 per month, I’d say she knows what she’s talking about.
I love the fact that she is now hanging out in Barcelona. Of the few places I’ve been to, (My kids have me beat already in that regard) Barcelona is one of my favorite places on earth. Anywhere in Spain is awesome. Okay, I admit, the only European country I’ve ever been to has been Spain, but I could sooooo live there.
The other thing I love about her is she is all about having FUN. Your business must be fun, or why would you want to spend time doing it? You start having fun, when you LOVE and are passionate about what you do.
The thing is you can be anything you want to be if you focus and do it.
I hate when people give up on themselves. It’s like they’ve put themselves out to pasture. I’m a baby boomer and I openly admit it. I’ve been through all sorts of sh%^. (Sorry, Ash, just couldn’t do it) Life has stepped on me just like it has for practically everyone else out there. But that’s no reason to ever give up on your dreams. Quit waking up and getting scared. We all do it and we have to stop!
Create your lifestyle exactly the way you want it to be.
Sometimes when you run into an obstacle, it’s the best thing that could ever happen to you. It forces you to up level yourself. That’s not to say you want boulders to hit you over the head. What you think about, you bring about . . . right? But if it happens, pull yourself together and figure out a way to get out from under it. Figure out what it is you truly want and design your life accordingly.
Re-invent yourself and start enjoying life.
If you hate what you are doing now, find out what your passions are and make that your life’s work.
So. . . I changed my tagline a bit. The great thing about be an entrepreneur. (or an entreprenut, in my case – I just bought that URL LOL) You have the freedom to do that. You don’t when you are stuck behind a desk in a JOB.
Make mistakes freely.
OMG! I have made tons of mistakes. So what? It doesn’t give me the excuse to be a martyr about it.
I’m finding more and more focus every day and I love it. I don’t apologize for not being perfect yet. I’m still learning and doing.
Get Ashley’s book but be careful because she cusses like a drunken sailor.
