With entrepreneurship, it is easy to feel as if you have a long way to go before you reach your goals. You’re probably only in this space because your goals are high, outrageous, and don’t make a lot of logical sense. At least that is my experience. With these feelings, I’ll probably have a day every once in awhile of self doubt thinking I’m not headed in the right direction or I don’t have the skills to do what I am doing.
What I have to remember is I have already arrived. I’m not at the destination perhaps, but I have arrived at the process part of it. What I mean by that is I am able to work all day on projects I enjoy and believe in. Two years ago I wasn’t even able to do that.
People ask me my goals, and I will first say that I want to “keep doing what I’ve been doing this last year…” This last year I have worked tirelessly towards things I have believed in. Now I am excited when it will feel a little more normal and a little less hard, but for the most part I’m exactly at the point that I have dreamed about. I haven’t arrived at my destination, but in all honesty I really don’t think there is one. I have arrived at the season of life where my entrepreneurial process truly begins. Just me, myself, and my thoughts, and I am the one in charge of making sure they come to life.
🔮 Inspiration from This Week
🗣️ Person – Amanda Torres – 4 or so years ago I was on a Clubhouse call with Amanda. It was such a genuine conversation about what we’re up to and where we are headed. I remember her largely talking about photography, and I can’t even recall what the heck I was up to. Anyways, fast forward 4 years, this week she is starting her production on her film that she has written and will be directing. She has put together a 25+ person crew to execute her vision. I could hardly believe it when she told me. From photographer to talented cinematographer with an immense knowledge about the filmmaking process. So inspiring!
🍿 Video – Break Point – Break Point is a Netflix sports documentary that follows around the world’s top tennis players. Netflix has been killing it with these sports documentaries. It allows me to learn more about the different sports worlds, who’s on top, etc. Sports aside, I like seeing people passionate about what they do. I like seeing how they do it and how they think. Every player goes through mental battles and winning droughts just like me and you do. Highly recommend Break Point.
🎬 My New Videos
🎥 YouTube – My Room Tour (2024) – Dang, I spend most of my days sitting in here in my room, so might as well make it at least a little nice. Since I am renting, I have to fit my office, bedroom, and storage all into one spot. In this video I explain, what is in my room, why, how, when, and who! Hope you enjoy 🙂
