You can’t always mix business with pleasure. Sometimes it’s just a pleasure to do business and simply just that.
In the beginning of my career, I was a people pleasure. So concerned about the feelings of others, that I didn’t pursue my own dreams. Watering down talents, not partaking in endeavors that aligned with my calling, and avoiding conflict- resulting in detrimental long term outcomes.
Others would request advice, take my knowledge, utilize it, reap the benefits, and profit without so much as a thank you. Lesson learned.
Entrepreneurship requires strategic thinking, the ability to adapt to change, as well as courage to execute by taking risks. This is where my passion for consulting began. Those serious enough about what they want will be willing to invest in themselves. Time, experience, expertise, and energy, aren’t free.
