Kennesaw, GA – If you could go back and talk to yourself when you were a teenager, what would you say to yourself? Would you change some things in your life?
We learn from our experiences, and grow from the relationships that are shared with others. Love yourself and share your love with others. Be a good example.
Send me a note. It would be great to hear from you.

Kennesaw, GA – A man is the author of his own life. -Anon
One of the blessings of being an American citizen is the concept of self determination guaranteed in our Constitution. Our founders felt that the freedom to pursue personal liberty is a right given from God and confirmed in our American citizenship.
For those of us blessed to be born in America, don’t let this right be squandered. Be the author of your life. Pursue your happiness and share it with others. Be a net contributor to the grand American experiment and not just a consumer of the blessings we have been given.
#Encouragement
To your happiness!

What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?
We live in an era where entrepreneurship or being an entrepreneur is cool or something great. It even seems that we are at a time where the trend or fashion is to define and label oneself as an entrepreneur, especially on social media. However, the question is what does it really mean to be an entrepreneur?
According to the Cambridge Dictionary, undertake is defined as: “to do or begin to do something, especially something that will take a long time or be difficult.” And entrepreneur means “someone who starts their own business, especially when this involves seeing a new opportunity.”
So I wonder is being an entrepreneur cool? Is it great?
I believe we need to work on redefining what it means to be an entrepreneur.
It is not about going out and becoming the next Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, Uber or Airbnb, etc. That is not what it is about.
It is about building something that solves a problem that you, and other people already have; trying to make a contribution in some way to the world, to improve and make it better.
Because creating a product or service is not about scale, billions of dollars… It is about building something that allows you to be happy, and have a sustainable and interesting life.
Be entrepreneur is a talent and commitment just like learning to sing, dance, or be an elite athlete. In reality, it is very difficult to be a successful and sustainable entrepreneur … In fact, it does not have to be easy.
Perhaps the mistake is believing that success means having billions and billions of dollars in the bank. Without being aware that raising or generating a lot of money is really hard.
Remember: If you want something in life, pay the price.
So, I encourage and motivate you to be an entrepreneur.
P.S. Don’t be an entrepreneur because it is cool.
