Entrepreneurship 101

I am embarking further on my entrepreneurship.

How am I doing this, you ask?

I take courses in all areas that I feel will benefit my life, in business and on a personal level.  I sign up for all the free and minimal cost courses I can (under $50 is my target range) that interest me.

I also start by making a plan to create small businesses (starting with emails and social media accounts) in my fields of interest, for development, and for people to find me.

I only work in areas that I have experience in, and/or areas that I can hire people who can help with their expertise.  It's best to do something in a field that you know, love or are passionate about.  If not, it's even more hard work than you may realize, but doing something you have an interest in, or love, leads to a more positive approach and much more determination, so it becomes a career, rather than just a job.  Think about it.  A lot.  Then choose wisely.

So, while these small businesses are still in the growing stage, I push forward to see them appear live so I can start to make connections to obtain an audience and for future business.

Happy Entrepreneurship to you!
Today's thought....  wake up, get up, start planning and actually do something today that will move you in a forward direction.

Karma

Do YOU believe in "Karma"?

I do!

Do YOU believe in putting something out there in the universe, think it, speak it and feel the energy?

I do!

I've had good karma experiences happen so many times.
I think and say things and randomly, they start to happen and fall into place.
I really must start recording all of this!!

Dream it?  Believe it!  Do it. 
Be positive.  Be courageous.  Have will power.
You can do it.

Journey

Happiness is a journey.  Life is full of many journeys.

Today, I am happy for many, many things.

My life is full and I am very satisfied with how it has turned out so far.

My current happiness is that when I go to bed at night, I think of all the things I'm thankful for - the dinner I ate, the love for my family, friends and pets, the love from my family, friends and pets, for something good that may have happened or that I did that day, for something funny that may have happened that day, for something I accomplished that day, for the shower and brushing my teeth, for the clean pyjamas, for my drink of water at my bedside, for my common-law husband who just decided to rub my back for a minute, for my bed, sheets and pillow, for my wonderful memories of times past, for the dogs in my bed snuggled against my legs, for my alarm to wake me and for my thankfulness of all these things before I shut my eyes.

Everyday I try to find something good to do or accomplish (besides work-related), something to smile about and something to laugh about.  I manage to do this all, most days.

What makes me smile these days...
Sun rises
Fresh air
Nature
My pets
Listening to Music
Walking
Visiting the beach
Listening to people (especially children) laugh
Cycling
Reading
Writing
Blogging
Card Making
Journaling
Creating something
Making a meal my family enjoys greatly
Helping someone and being kind
Being in close proximity to my immediate family
Interaction, love, discussion, etc. with family & friends
Drinking water
Coffee and tea
Chocolate

So, for me, happiness is in my life daily and I am really enjoying each day for the reasons listed above.  Life and happiness should be a journey always moving in a positive direction.  Don't wait for others to do things to make you happy.  Find your own joy and your own happiness.  Be content with what you have and make the most of what's available to you - especially things that do not cost anything to enjoy.

Wishing everyone a daily dose of happiness!

Breakfast

This week I've been doing a cat sit for a new friend, and I go to her house in the mornings and evenings.  She only lives about a 10-minute drive from my house.  So I've been waking earlier to include this task, making coffee & a quick breakfast (oatmeal, toast and jam, etc) then head out to visit with & feed the cat, which I've been enjoyed doing.

Usually, I am in bed sometime between 10pm and midnight, then usually asleep by 1am, and I push things regrettably, and am up at 7am (or even later!) to shower and dress for the day, let the dogs out, feed the animals, put on a pot of coffee, pour a glass of water over ice, and make breakfast, then rush out the door, mostly late.

This week I've been waking a half hour earlier, at 6:30am to include leaving and doing the cat sit, yet still pushing the limits and getting to work at 8am late - 8:15am usually.  However, this morning, I started my day at 6:15am and decided to treat myself for breakfast and coffee, thus doing less at home, so I showered, dressed, let the dogs out, fed the animals, left the house and drove to the gas station convenience store on the way to the cat sit, bought a full breakfast of choice (buffet style) of a spoonful of scrambled egg, a turkey and a pork sausage, half a spoonful of homemade hash browns, half a spoonful of roasted breakfast potato with red onion, green and red bell pepper, two small breaded chicken nuggets, and a small half-sized Chinese egg roll.  I also bought a coffee and a bottle of water.  Then did the house sit and enjoyed my breakfast while the cat ate her breakfast.

Needless to say, even though it was not a lot of food in my food container, it still was more than I could eat, so when I got back home, and with 15 minutes to spare, I split the leftovers between the dogs, hand-feeding them half the pork sausage, most of the little roast potatoes (no garnish) and both chicken nuggets.  They were thrilled to get some of this yummy breakfast, too!

I really love early starts so I will make every effort going forward to wake at 6am each morning and enjoy my whole morning before work starts... to watch the sunrise... to read the newspaper with a mug of coffee, outside if the weather allows... to make and eat a proper breakfast and drink a full glass of water... and to spend a good half hour playing with my dogs in the morning before heading out to work for 8am... and to make work on time.

Whatever you do today, enjoy!

Conversations

It's funny how you have an innocent conversation with someone you just met, talking about all sorts of worldly matters, chit-chatting, making small talk, and you come to find out how much you enjoyed the conversation and their company in that moment.

I met a new person a week ago, and she is just lovely!  I really believe that when you have a conversation with someone, it's for a reason.  You always obtain something positive from it.  Either a fact you didn't know; information about something you thought about but didn't know much and you find out more; you find out how close you really may be connected (example... you both know the same people or cross paths in the same space at some point but never knew or noticed before).

Life is full of strangers and familiar people.  Everyone is a stranger until you meet them.  Strangers are people you've never met, spoken to before, or taken notice of before.  Once you meet someone, you find you run into them many more times, and then, because you've met, you say hello, or wave, or greet them with familiarity, rather than never noticing them at all.

It's a wonderful topic of strangers and familial relationships and how they evolve.

I'm thankful for this person I just met a week ago and I can see a very positive, life-long friendship evolving with her.  It seems that we can help each other and support each other in a very positive way with business and friendship.  It's started already, and we are only one week in the new familial relationship.  It's awesome and so very inspiring.  Sometimes you are meant to meet the people you meet - good karma is what people call it.

Always take the time to say hello to someone and get to know them more than just to say 'hello' - you may never know what may come out of the first real conversation you have with them.

Have a awesome day! B.
