Determination and the Entrepreneur

Tonight, I am up late. I have a group project due next week, and it's on an industry that I know absolutely nothing about: mobile apps! On top of that I am working on new products for our Blessed Body Brand product line. Plus, my child insists on trying to cuddle up with me instead of going to sleep! I could just turn everything off and snuggle up with my cuddle bug, but I must secure his future! I must tap into my determination well and finish this research for my group project and for my new products!!

Determination is a trait that all entrepreneurs must possess in infinite quantities. Being in business for yourself requires several hours of effort before any profits are realized! Most people would reject that proposition without any questions especially if entrepreneurship were the only thing that they were attempting to do at the time. I, however, am attending graduate school, raising a family, building a business, and attempting to date (a blog for another day!) My plate is full at all times, but it's necessary! I wouldn't have it any other way.

As an entrepreneur, it is important to balance work life and home life even though at times they can occur in the same space. Create a vision board and a creative space in your home. If you don't have a home office, take a corner and create your VISION BOARD in your kitchen or bedroom! Make it stand out so that you can see it everyday and be accountable to yourself for getting things done. After all, it's your baby. Nobody is going to nurture and develop it like you! STAY FOCUSED, STAY HUNGRY, STAY DETERMINED! This is what you were put on this Earth to do, do it and make it effective!
