When times are good it’s easy to feel like entrepreneurship is the only path for you, but what about the times when your hit with multiple crises at once?

Sitting on the table in the inn is an hourglass filled with sand. I find myself frequently walking by and turning it over to watch the grains of sand slowly trickle to the other side. Life is like that sand, moving in one direction as the minutes pass by. Read more>>

I actually quit my last job in the summer of 2021 and have had this thought plenty of times since then. It would definitely be nice to have a consistent check coming in but I definitely don’t see myself working for anyone else ever again. Read more>>

When I lived in Denmark I never thought I one day would start my own business. It was never a dream of mine. Moving to LA where the culture is much more entrepreneurial changed my mind. Read more>>

I am happier as a business owner… most of the time. Recently, I asked myself that very question. I told my son, “Life would be so much easier if I wasn’t the boss.” Read more>>

Having worked for big corporations for most of my adult life, I can tell you there is nothing like having a business that is my own, something I created myself. I get to decide how I want my business to be, instead of following procedures that don’t always make sense working for someone else. Read more>>

I haven’t made the leap of faith yet to quit my full-time job and solely focus on my small business. I’m not at a place financially where I can make that decision. Some days are harder than others trying to juggle everything, but I will say that having my own business is the best decision I ever made. Read more>>
