There always comes a moment in every young aspiring entrepreneur's life when they come to that "AH-HA!" moment. When they realize what they must do to make their idea - REALITY. It never comes that easy (unless you are wealthy, or have a house hold name like Rev Run or Will Smith as your father) Even so, it`s still takes time for you to build a brand that is your own, and to establish longevity. Every step you make will determine the outcome of your brand. You never want to end your career with carelessness before it can even blossom to begin. Having my own small business - I am learning that every day. I know that day will come when people will finally see and believe in what I am trying to do (my idea/vision), and it will all be history from there. However, until that time comes - I have to put in major work.
I would have to say my "AH-HA" moment came to me the moment I got fired from my position at a manufacturing company (yeah I know sounds bad- but let`s just say shady business was happening and I got the blunt end of the stick). It was a great full time job, I was making money, and it was a job with in the industry. I was becoming comfortable. I wasn`t doing anything towards my company, I stopped networking, and pretty soon became a zombie to work. Now some odd months later here I am realizing what I thought was so horrible (losing my job), was actually a blessing in disguise. I`m back to my company grind, those early mornings - and late nights with PANDORA. =] Haha ...
This is the outcome of my hustle. I`ve learned that you must always stay ready for any opportunity that may occur. In the past I have missed MANY opportunities because I wasn`t ready. For that- I am the only one to blame! But a wise person learns from their mistakes, and doesn`t let it happen again! So as of lately, i`m on my making samples grind. "If you stay ready, you won`t have to stress about getting ready". remember that!
Until Next time ...
Keep it fashionable!
Keep it beautiful!
