Who do you want to be when you grow up?

Have you ever been asked that question?

Not what you want to do, but who do you want to be when you grow up? Some of us still don’t know what we want to do or what kind of business we want, nevermind a deeper question like who do we want to be.  

We mostly think about our purpose in life as what do we want to do, but I would love to invite you to think about life and business as who do you want to be.

We’re going to change our beings inside of us, how we look at the world, how we look at everything, it will change every single day. Then somebody comes along and throws a question at you that totally flips your mind. 

Let’s not think about what you want to do but who you want to be, what is your purpose for waking up in the morning. This has nothing to do with business, but is a personal thing. Your brand story should include this too. Why do you wake up in the morning, what drives you to keep going, to keep...

This is a quick list of things that all entrepreneurs need to know but not too many talk about. Some are things I didn't realize I was signing up for but are crucial to being successful.

First, I did not realize as an entrepreneur you have to look inside of yourself more often than you are comfortable with because this is where most of the answers are.

Not one second did I believe that I would think that starting my business. We think that we have an awesome idea and that we’re awesome at what we do and think people will just come, but they don’t. This is not a business of dreams, if you build it, they will not necessarily just come. I’m not saying that it doesn’t happen for some people, but for most of us it doesn’t happen. 80% of the reason for that is us.

So I turned it all off and sat in my chair and just started to breathe deeply and released all the tension in my body. I needed to focus on my own thoughts because I couldn’t tell what were mine and what werent. I asked a question and set an intention to just let in what I was meant to be doing right now in the midst of all this chaos. These...

I get asked this question a lot, and to be honest, it kinda scares me!
