Today, I’m seeking balance. Business has been growing like crazy. I realize I’m no longer a freelancer - I am providing jobs for other people. People who I admire and want to stick with me because of their skill, wit, and awesome personality - just to name a few. I enjoy working with these people, and I know my clients will too. I want people to feel irreplaceable because they are. I also know that I can’t grow without structure. I can’t grow without putting in the hard work to get the fundamentals of business fine tuned. Wish me luck in this pursuit of balance. And now, time to stop typing under my covers (trying to block out the sun)...and get on with my day! Balance...balance. I got this, right?

Today I discovered I’m not an entrepreneur — and You can’t imagine how FREE this makes me feel! Sometimes, I’d end my work day in tears wondering why I didn’t feel the same gumption as my entrepreneurial peers. But now I know, that I didn’t start my business to get more money or invent the next big thing. I started it because I LOVED what I did. Graphic design, creating, story telling. There’s a lot more to this little revelation that I’m want to share, if you’ll let me. Will be posting more about it in the weeks to come. I just want to encourage you — if you feel different or odd because you have a business but don’t necessarily feel like an entrepreneur...It’s OK!! Thank you for sharing this journey with me, friend. Reader. ✨

“The concept of retirement is an industrial era hangover.” - my biz coach, @jefftanner 🤓
.
.
I’ve been struggling lately to reconcile my desire to travel the world and grow my business to some huge entity so that I can one day retire (and travel the world.) But my business coach, Jeff, made a brilliant point. Why can’t I have both, NOW? “Culture has shifted, and we are now in a post industrial economy. We’re in a creation, connection and innovation economy.” Work has transformed from meaningless and mundane to purposeful and passionate. Why not build my business so I can support myself (and hopefully one day family) but also grow my organization to create change in the world? It may require a different way of leadership that relies on relinquishing ownership to people, trusting them, and empowering them to be just as awesome as me (or more.) Ok, I’m in.
