Hey G-Ro

Hanging out with the fam is always a blast. Sounds like you are the typical entrepreneur. You hit the head on the nail. By removing our focus on the destination and becoming more present in the journey allows us to live a more fufilled life. I want to connect with you by phone maybe next week. Thanks for the comment G-Ro.

Thank you Dee.

It is hard for young entrepreneurs to travel a different road than everyone who you are surrounded by. In high school, everyone migrated out of the neighborhood to go to work. The bus drivers were employees, the teachers, the principal and the soccer coach were all employees. So where in all of this do we learn to become an entrepreneur. We are who we surround ourselves with.

Go to networking events, entrepreneurship clubs or go out and meet local business owners. It is important to have other like minded influences in our lives. If you take your 5 closest friends and add up their incomes and divide by 5, you are most likely within $5-10k of what they make. Is it time to find some new friends?

Thanks again for the comment Dee. You sparked an idea for my next blog post.

Cheers

Sounds like a grand old time on the 4th. Nothing like being around family, friends and water activities.

Regarding the actual content - I am that guy who gets lost, stuck in worse jams and sometimes a few minutes late by trying the new roads. Traveling different paths sometimes gets you ahead and sometimes puts you behind, but the journey is what matters.

Bradley, Well said! As a career and small biz start-up coach, I find the biggest barrier for people to tread the entrepreneurial path is their own reluctance to change-to travel a different road. Great post will pass it along.
