Tomorrow is Independence day in the US. July 4th. I’ve been thinking a lot this past week about independence and what it means to me. I am so blessed to be an entrepreneur. What does that mean? It means FREEDOM. I work around my schedule, not someone else’s. Oh sure…I have deadlines and certain times that clients need things done, but, for the most part, I am on MY schedule. I live in a house on the bay and can take time to enjoy sitting out on the deck looking at the water. As a matter of fact, that’s where I’m sitting as I write this newsletter to you. My kids have had the good fortune to have mom home with them almost all of their lives. They spent a few years in daycare and at sitters while I went to a J.O.B. but for the most part, I’ve been here for them and their friends while they were growing up. Being and entrepreneur has allowed me to homeschool. It has allowed me to be here for my husband when he comes home from work every day. It has allowed me to be a second mom to most of the kids’ friends.
I’ve done a few different things over the years, but for the most part, I’ve been a network marketer, business coach and life coach. When I was growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. I let friends and family talk me out of it. They said that teachers don’t make a lot of money. They talked me into going to school for accounting. LOL. Those of you who know me well know that I would much rather be talking and interacting with PEOPLE than sitting in front of a computer working with numbers all day. Don’t get me wront – I LOVE working on the computer. I have that “computer geek” side to me. I just love interacting with people while I’m doing it. That’s why I’m starting another book club and teaching an internet marketing course. I get to interact with and teach people.
What did you want to be when you grew up? Are you doing that? Or did someone talk you out of it?
I was reading somewhere the other day about a guy who was told he could make money doing what he loves to do. His passion was making toothpick models. He had no idea how he could make a living doing that, but he started taking pictures of them and getting the word out. Now people are paying hundreds to thousands of dollars for him to make custom toothpick models. There’s another guy who was on Oprah who loved blowing bubbles. You know…the soap bubbles with wands like the kids love…anyway…he is now traveling the world and getting paid to put on shows where he stands in a kiddie pool filled with soapy water and a huge wand and encases himself inside a bubble (among other things). This just proves that you CAN do whatever you love AND make a living at it. I am doing what I love. Are you??
Join my book club and find out how you can be happier doing what you love.
Make it a great day!!!
