Ask Yourself Why? And then start it starts to free your mind...

Being an Entrepreneur is difficult and many of the roadblocks you face will come from your own mind. In order to unlock this blocks you need to ask yourself...why?  And just like you'd be able to answer someone coming up to you and asking a question, chances are you'll have an answer and the anxiety that you feel in your mind that has no words begins to form words and thus makes the questions real and then you can begin to find the answers. A question I asked myself recently was... Why am I nervous to start? It's hard to... Reach fair agreements Find terms that work for all Find good people This was a question that I asked myself in August 2015.  And I just found that paper today.  Fortunately today I look at those questions, and those questions seem to have been answered. How did they get answered?  I happened to find someone with a complimentary skill set who has the fundamental same goals and values as I.  So while we think differently, we ...

An Intriguing Conversation of Introspection

Image
Years ago on a dating site someone messaged me, and it led to a thoughtful conversation.  I saved that conversation, and I have to say, that the answers still ring true today.  I have cleaned up the conversation a bit to make it more concise.  How would you answer these questions? Where does your motivation come from? do you have a vision or goal of what you want? I do have a vision of what I want.  Sometimes the path to get there seems harder or easier depending on the day.  The one thing I see in my vision of an ideal future is to be happy.  I know it is vague, but my gut response.  It's just the feeling. Do you need to work hard to be happy? I thought so, but i've worked hard and not found real happiness there so i think happiness comes in feeling valued by others and when that reflects back on yourself, and an overall feeling of building towards something. Is happiness a choice? I believe it is.  But you have to continually c...

Redemption Codes: 1) CKKXTTEEH67CPR 2) A7HRLAWXVN3E3T I recently switched my business over to the Google Apps Suites.  Why?  Because I met someone who is interested working with TechyKids, and wanted her own techykids workspace of messaging / email / and ways to share collaborative documents.  All in all, aside from the added monthly costs, I believe it to be one of the steps to turn into a makeshift business into a real business. By using Google Apps it gives you the ability of having a Super Administrator that ultimately has control of the sub-accounts....which puts you in control of your business. The trickiest part of all of this that I have found so far is being able to get email working properly, and to be able to send and receive without running into issues.  I realized through testing that some of the emails that I was...

My Mom Threw out my Personal Belongings

One of My Art Pieces that was tossed - "Reflections" Another One of my Art Pieces - "Happy things" I booked my tickets excited to go ‘home’. I booked my tickets excited to see and spend time with my family. I booked my tickets to be surrounded by warmth and love. I booked my tickets to go HOME.  I was told to bring a bag to start bringing my stuff back to California. “You have a house now, take your stuff with you.” It’s not that I didn’t want my stuff with me, it’s that a big part of me feels like it belongs in that house. In that closet, in my sanctuary. How many times when life got hard did I retreat into my walk in closet to find comfort. I had even sometime taken a pillow and blanket and climbed of my shelving and lay there to find my ‘safe place’. That closet has always been by childhood retreat.  So then I left for college, many miles away. But when I’d come home, I’d come home. I could engross myself in all of the wondrous memories tha...
