Being an entrepreneur

It's been a few weeks since I wrote a blog. I am still trying to get used to making time to do everything. Being an entrepreneur is more challenging than it looks. Many people think you just sit at home in your pajamas all day and surf the internet. Although those are a couple of benefits of being self employed, there is much more that goes into working from home than that.

Unlike working a 9-5 there aren't really set hours. (unless you set them for yourself ;) However, for me, I find there are so many different things that need to be done, that I'm pretty much working more hours per day than the average person. The difference is the flexibility to be able to say o.k. I'm tired, I think I'll go to the mall now. Or being able to spend quality time with my husband whenever I want to.

The down side is the consistency of work. Marketing takes up a huge portion of daily activities. However, starting off, the effect of such efforts in terms of customers can be few and far in between. But why do we do what we do? Because we know that it will pay off. We have this inner drive and ambition like no other. The feeling you get after making a sale or completing a contract is like no other. Having the flexibility and freedom, and above all doing something you enjoy is matchless.

This past year has been an incredible journey, and I'm still just in the infancy of what I know will be something great very soon. So why do I do what I do? Because I can. Because I love it. Why do you do what you do?
