I believe the entrepreneurial spirit is integrated within us from the beginning.
As I think back to when I was a child, and identify my personality, interests, and qualities they scream, entrepreneur.
Although, I was a quiet, shy kid that played it small most of my life, I didn’t portray typical attributes that correlated with an entrepreneur. But, I could always see the bigger picture. I was able to identify opportunity. I was able to not loose sight of the glimmer of possibility. I wanted that.
I grew up in a really small community, where success was not highlighted as an option. It was more about setting yourself up to be content, with a 9-5 job to just make ends meat. There was always something about that, that didn’t sit well with me.
A consistent whisper of, “there’s got to be a better way,” was always with me, even as a young child.
As I became an adult, there were times when I surrendered to settling for less and started to become convinced, “this is it.” “Everything else was going to be too hard.”
But my entrepreneurial spirit would still show up, with the thought of possibility that I could not ignore.
I longed to be an entrepreneur, and it wasn’t just about being an entrepreneur, but more about taking control over my own life, living a more free life, not following the rules. I wanted to make my own rules, and do whatever I felt like doing at the time. I didn’t want to be dictated to.
As I began on a personal development and spiritual growth journey, and these “rules” would present themselves in different forms, I began to reply to each one with, “says who?” Society? Government? Family?
I’ve got this creative soul that longs for more. Variety, exploration, revelations and growth. These rules just aren’t going to work for me. I’m out.
I do realize that path isn’t for everyone, but I do believe some of us are hard wired for it, and true fulfillment will be hard to achieve without breaking free.
Do you have that passion deep down in your soul? Deep thinker, a creative with the glimpse of possibility lights you up?
Sure, it looks messy but beautiful, right? Like, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
We aren’t here to follow the "rules", be the same duplication of each other, why are we hiding our gifts that will contribute to the world being a better place?
We are here to get closer to Love, to expand and grow on a Soul level. We are creators. Let’s not sell ourselves short on this journey.
Remember who you were. Remember why you came. Step into that powerful truth.
Feel the energy emanating through you, feel the divine source giving you life, with limitless potential.
Word on the street, regret is what we should be fearful of.
People are not leaving this world not content with what they did, they regret what they really wanted to do, and didn’t.
Let’s take it up a notch and let the true colours shine through. Let’s strive for no regret.
The definition of entrepreneur is changing. To me, it means to think outside the box and find a new way to create income, on your own terms. An offering in how you can be of service and contribute to the good in the world. And love every second of it.
For success, it’s about letting go of the programming of what is good enough. It’s allowing things to unfold without trying to control and stay within the limits. It’s saying, “let’s see where this takes me.”
I believe this platform is filled with deep thinkers, where their intuition has spoke loud enough to want to take the "road less travelled". There’s nothing appealing on the safe route anymore, its boring, predictable and a waste of gifts.
This platform is a place to raise each other up and have each other's back when fear and doubt creep in. Not to mention, the value we can gain from each other. The openness of possibility is the overall theme.
I would also guess, many people here, are born to be entrepreneurs as well, and I honour you all for following your true path.
Even though our focus is on the end result, we cannot forget to enjoy the journey of getting there. It will look like all sorts of things, including failure at times.
It’s not easy. But it’s a choice, our OWN choice, inspired by our own soul. That is what matters.
