In business you are being swooshed around like a big ole ship stuck in an ocean storm. I guess all of us business owners are a lot like sea captains who love the exhileration and beauty of the sailing despite the risks. Join me on this journey...on all of my ups and my downs while I get swooshed around and around, side to side, up then down, and to this side and that. Every so often, if I find something that helped me, I’ll share it with you too!

Reality of it

Wow. It's amazing how I've been sick so much since October. I was better for about 5-10 days and now I feel something coming on again. It can't be the stress, I'm hardly worrying about business. I suppose if I'm worried, it's only because I should be more worried...... :)

It's amazing how much of an effect this has on success because getting ill really affects motivation and excitment about things. Especially when all you want to do is sleep.

New challenges keep coming up. Recently someone told me that starting a business is the hardest thing one could try to do. It is so true. There are so many challenges involved. Not only do you actually have to make money, but in my case there are all of these emotional issues to deal with in terms of confidence and drive. I think I said before that being an entrepreneur has a huge effect on personal growth. It has to be... if I don't grow, I can't be successful.
