Is Your Business a Business

First of all let me say, there is nothing wrong with being a volunteer!! I have volunteered a lot in my life and always will. Right now I am a Disaster Mental Health volunteer for the Red Cross and I am Program Chair for a non profit for women divorced and/or widowed. I put a lot of time and energy into these two and I love doing it. That said I don't believe you want to be a 'volunteer' when it comes to your business. At least I surely hope not. Being an entrepreneur, owning your own business is a job. It's not a job/job because you are working for yourself. But it's a job in that you need to be getting paid for the work you do. It's not a hobby. A hobby is something you do that you love, but you don't get paid to do it. Gardening, knitting, surfing or whatever suits your fancy. It's just something fun that you could do all day. (Well, maybe not knitting!) tRP2prSk FJO0DcFT nGc5y8fg fXseET4h ZBIQ5zFH PNPUyurj 2KuAYByf gKbwf4wq YI6WMgxf awu...

Stand Out, Be Awesome

Undiscerning implementation of "do as I say" strategies creates misalignment between your Truth and your action, which is the root cause of your time and money drains. Following the "tried-and-true" is definitely a great way to get up and running - you don't have to reinvent the wheel at every turn, saving a lot of time, energy and guesswork. But after mastering the basics and the mechanics, following those blueprints and templates to a T can make you feel like a round peg in a square hole. The thrill of learning the skills and seeing initial results has subsided. The mechanics of it has turned into a chore. Worst of all, you look like everybody else. You want more than just going through the motion. You may start to question - is doing everything by the book going to take me where I really want to be? Am I fully living my own expression, purpose and value? QAOGyhzK mBYrmMD9 buOXrPD4 F71WO13X bx66Kwk6 JJBuKy31 6CZTniIC hXw5kUb0 QUUe73y0 VCOnl5Z3 ...
