What’s next in 2011?
2010 is winding down, and a lot of people are glad to see it going. It has been a challenging year to me as well as others. I remember at the end of 2009 thinking I know 2010 will be better. I now look back on 2010 and think it may have been tough, but I sure learned a lot about life, that’s better. Just because it was a challenging year doesn’t mean it was bad. Heck there are millions of people around the world that would love to have a bad year and live in the U.S. We have learned that just because we cannot have a booming economy all the time, we can still prosper in many ways. Our economy is more emotional, I think, than anything, turn off the news and it will get better. Drive around in Augusta Georgia on a Friday or Saturday night and the restaurant parking lots are full not to mention Wal-Mart is always full. They could make a profit if no one was on the earth! We have also learned to keep our focus and work through the times of uncertainty. Even though we may not be out of the woods we know we have to keep on keeping on. It will be interesting to hear all of the stories about how people started their businesses during this time and how they learned new ways of managing their money. So what if life doesn’t change in 2011? I guess it will be more time to learn and to grow in our lives. Good times go by easy, when you are learning and improving, to me, that should be good times. I hope you all have a great 2011!!!

Entrepreneurs have ruined me
Entrepreneurs have ruined me
The title says it all, I have been ruined by entrepreneurs, and I like it. When you think about it the traditional way of employment ruins you more. By traditional I mean work for a company for years and retire, get laid off or they shut down. One way or the other you will leave there. Since I have jumped into the world of working for myself, I have found freedom and creativity, uncertainty, fear, joy, and ambition, drive, anxiety, depression, and fulfillment and encouragement. Oh yes, and the ways to overcome the negative things. Negative things help re-direct you to positive things, so don’t look at the fear, depression, anxiety and uncertainty as the end of the world, learn from it and move foreword. These things exist in traditional employment to except we do not realize it until they start talking about downsizing and the pink slips are handed out. You may ask how entrepreneurs have ruined me. They have ruined me because this is the way I want to live now, work for myself, and do what I feel God called me to do on this earth, help people reach their purpose in different areas of their life. This is really a blessing! Yes this life style does lead you to have all of the before mentioned emotions and more, but there is LIFE there. I do miss the regular paycheck from time to time because, like a circus lion, I waited for the three meals a day and forgot how to go hunt my own food. Nice kitty!
So do you have that feeling that makes you want to escape the circus, if you do start to take action on it immediately! If you don’t act you will continue to wait and keep putting it off. I am not saying jump off of the boat and swim until you see some land, but create a plan to get there and instead of jumping and hoping to find land. You can take the right steps to get there. Will I mess up? Yes. Will it be easy? No. Will it be fun? Yes and challenging. Why not start to formulate your plan in 2011? If you do attempt to be ruined by entrepreneurs, remember most of them didn’t do it overnight. Read success stories of others, and get help from others who may have been down that road. You may ask what if I fail. Use it to move forward or in a different direction. Hey life is an adventure, set sail! Don’t be the king of the jungle that everyone looks at behind bars. Remember his biggest highlight is the meal that the trainer is going to bring to him. To all of you entrepreneurs out there thanks!
