Why 9 To 5 Will Never Be An Option For A True Entrepreneur

ALL of what I have right now has been made possible because I overcome my resistance to using video as the best way to connecting to my audience. The best way to let them experience my energy. The true light.

Why 9 To 5 Will Never Be An Option For A True Entrepreneur

In This Article:

Are you admiring those who are fearlessly showing up on video and killing it in their business, while you are still behind, nothing is moving, and you are seriously considering that maybe going back to 9-5 is an option for you?

Well, it will NEVER be an option for me. And not only because I have been an entrepreneur for so long, but I am also completely unemployable as I would question the authority and the directions, having been making all decisions in my business for so long. THAT is a different topic altogether.

The reason that is will NEVER be an option for me is because by choosing to fearlessly show up, here on Facebook, day after day, authentically with video and written word, I was able not only to build something that allows me to live the life I love! (I just booked a hotel for a month in Spain later this year, just because I fancy living in the sun for a while, and still be able to run my business seamlessly.)

It allowed me to create systems where I can spend much less time working and much more time LIVING!

By choosing NOT to hide behind mediocre content and showing up with video as who I am, with real-life imperfections and full on REAL me – and this is what none of the other types of content can do, I was able to connect to people who really share a lot with the way I look at life.

Some perhaps are a little behind on this journey – this is where I come in with my content and my trainings. For them, I am the example of someone who keeps growing, being more and doing more every day. I am their inspiration as I am merely another person, nothing too special so they can do what I do too!

Others are a little bit ahead, and they recognise that power within that we share and cheer me on as they KNOW I am on the right track. Those people are so valuable to have in your world, they are the driving force as they are the living proof your dreams CAN come true.

ALL of what I have right now has been made possible because I overcome my resistance to using video as the best way to connecting to my audience. The best way to let them experience my energy. The true light.

If you are ready to transform your life and you are the face of your business, start with pushing through that resistance doing video. I promise it has so many benefits, they outweigh any excuses you may be making right now.

And trust me – those scary emotions you have about it, are just stories you are telling yourself. You are capable of doing video, you are capable of doing it consistently, you DESERVE to be heard, and people WILL listen.

But first, you have to commit to showing up for a while.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead. You have three assignments due and little time to work on them because of your job. You’re running late because you’ve hit snooze one to many times after yesterday’s long hours. You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week. For some students, it's their first time in the library all semester, maybe ever. Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies. Here is a few signs that you may live in the library, whether you'd like to admit it or not.
