It's been a long time since I've blogged on this account. I think one of the reasons is that I've been so preoccupied with blogging for Wne vs Food that I kind of lost focus on just writing about me and what's going on.
The other reason for me not blogging on this account recently is that I've been a little shy blogging about the less exciting and more challenging times of being an entrepreneur.
Yesterday was one of those days. It was one of those days that you want to just crawl away from a meeting or two and go home and just get away from everything. I compare this to four or five months ago that I started the different projects that I'm engaged in and thought how wonderful they all were and are going to be.
Thus far, I've hit some speed bumps along the way for all the projecs. Reasons range from lobster hygiene permits to slower development of a marketing strategy to even not having a clear head around what we're producing.
I'm aware that most businesses fail in their first year and I wondered last night what this would mean for me. Insecure with the thought that failure was inevitable (or at least possible), I started looking online for jobs to get a better sense of the "what if" strategy in case things didn't work out. Waking up this morning, I could not help feel I was cheating on my dreams and all that I sacrificed to do what I am doing.
That was last night and this is today. I'm feeling a lot more collected now. I'm more appreciative of the opportunities ahead of me. And I understand that the time I have now until my bank account runs out is not infinite, therefore I have to make the most out of the time that I have in making these businesses meaningful.
It's been nice writing this blog.
