Greetings, friends!

I’m here to chat about something super exciting yet formidable – starting your own business.

But hey, this isn’t just for the future CEOs among us. It’s for anyone who’s got a dream so big it kinda scares you.

So, here’s the deal: Dreaming big is fantastic, but acting? That’s where the magic happens.

I’ve been there, dreaming about launching my very own 3D printing gig. Yep, creating cool figurines was my jam, but it felt like a mountain too high to climb. The thought of figuring out all the bits and pieces was downright terrifying.

But then, I shook off the fear and started mapping out my ideas. I reached out for advice from folks who’ve been there, done that. And guess what? Things began to click into place.

Hitting roadblocks? Totally normal. They’re actually super helpful. They let you spot problems early, so you can get your ducks in a row. Planning ahead saves you a ton of headaches later on. It’s the biggest investment – time.

And time is the most expensive thing there is.

My mentor dropped a truth bomb on me: selling just to individual peeps wasn’t gonna cut it. I needed to “think bigger” – companies, celebs, sports teams, you name it.

Here’s a cool way to think about entrepreneurs: they’re like scientists for the business world. They experiment, test out ideas, and dive deep into their projects, all in the hustle and bustle of real life.

Starting over can feel like staring at a blank canvas, but that’s the beauty of creation. Building something incredible often means stumbling, learning, and trying again. Ever heard of the book “Fail Fast, Learn Faster“? It’s all about embracing those hiccups as part of the journey.

Remember, patience is key. Your dreams can definitely become reality.

Recently I got some wise words from my professor, Dr. Clemons, during a chat about my business dreams. She shared this quote from 50 Cent that really sold me: “Don’t get comfortable with fear.” It really struck a chord with me and I hope it does with you too.

It’s all about facing those fears head-on and stepping out of your comfort zone, especially when you’re about to do something as awesome as starting a business.

Stay brave, keep pushing, and let’s turn those big dreams into even bigger realities.

Cheers to making it happen!
