An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous)

An entrepreneur’s journey is difficult and lonely (and joyous).

The joy is high at the journey’s beginning because it’s an adventure.

Once the honeymoon-effect fades, it gets so difficult, somewhere north of 90% drop out.

This is where difficult and lonely become your traveling companions.

Travel with them long enough and and eventually you’ll see a horizon you had begun to doubt you’d ever.

On April Fool’s Day 2009, jeff noel began writing five daily, differently-themed blogs (on five different sites). It was to be a 100-day self-imposed “writer’s bootcamp”, in preparation for writing his first book. He hasn’t missed a single day since.

Took this to remind me where to pick up the recording last night.

 

Thank goodness for technology. Not missing an episode of the final American Idol season. But i watch it after the fact.

Why invest precious time watching American Idol?

Because it teaches me about branding.

The judges are always impressed with contestants who know who they are – singers who’ve found their lane and stay in it – and refuse to dilute it by trying to be something else in spite of the pressure to confirm to a winning formula.

No, nope, no way:

No email subscription

No videos

No fancy graphics

No hidden prices

No sharing content

No waiting* to hear back from me

Why?

Because the above items are thought of as “wrong”.

* i’ll personally respond to your text, email, social media message, or phone call within 24 hours, and usually the same day, and usually within a couple hours (or sooner).

Do you love being challenged?

The first thought was, “Is this an approved or unapproved use of three circles?”

 

Do you love being challenged?

There is an insidious fear of the unknown that we wear like skin.

Can we organize our courage in such a way that even when faced with the unknown, we can confidently experiment with creative ways to push through the darkness?

What if we did?

Because if we can’t, it’s a blind spot with serious repercussions.
