Multi-passionate entrepreneurs as Marie Forleo opts to define it …have several interests, passions,& career paths they may pursue at any given time.

Marie herself is a dancer, podcaster, business coach and much more.

If you’ve just recently started your entrepreneurial journey you may be starting to notice the multiple roles you ought to play with your business just to keep it moving. There’s the financial side of things, prep work (gathering supplies, materials, resources) , marketing and advertising, customer service, and of course delivering on the product or service…just to name a few.

If you’ve been on the journey for a little you may be have confronted some “growing pains". These include, feeling like there is just not enough time in the day to complete all the things. As a result you may just now be considering hiring help or outsourcing certain tasks but being used to being the one person to take care of it all has you in turmoil about relinquishing control. Realizing just how valuable your mind and body are and that maybe just maybe yours doesn’t follow or want to adhere to “typical, common” diets, sleep habits, because ultimately you’ve chosen a path that many would rather not consider. If you do pursue it though your particularities will start to speak & radiate through, take a moment to observe & listen.

Having attempted to do it all at an early age I’ve had my share of burnouts. Having multiple passions and interests doesn’t make things easy. However, I wouldn’t give that up. One of the best ways to help sift through the plethora of opportunity involves asking some serious questions. Among them:

Will I regret not pursuing this path?
How does it contribute to my overall vision?
Am I willing to confront the challenges (stress/anxiety) that will inevitably come in pursuit of this goal?
Am I becoming the person I am aiming to become?

Regardless of the journey you opt to take there will be haters, contrarians, doubters, bullies. Sometimes these beings are people with close access. Coming to the the realization that these people are simply at a different place in their journey helps to view their comments perhaps even hatred through a different lens. This perspective will help give you freedom from those negative comments to then be able to follow through on your goals without leaving you with newly formed hatred or resentment towards them. Your time is far too precious to be lost in pettiness or hatred. Use the fuel generated by such things instead to CREATE.

P.S. Be Resilient.

Ahh I’m almost turning 30! And so for me that’s a time of reflection. A time to analyze my journey so far and look for areas of improvement! ☀️

I recall struggling with resolutions myself especially those created on New Years. I instead, I enjoyed the process of creating plans goals and often reflected more around the time of completing another year of life.

In preparation of this process in the upcoming days I take the time to look at January first and ask myself: “ what can be improved/ modified so that the rest of the year goes “smoothly”? ( I say “smoothly” because my entrepreneurship journey has taught me that things don’t always go as planned… HOWEVER, not planning can be disastrous). I do this at this time because there are some other timelines and such that I have no control over but that operate on monthly, quarterly, yearly basis that affect my life. These include business operations deadlines, any medical or legal appointments, holidays that will affect project timelines and things of that nature.

Now here’s the thing… that’s only an overview perspective in terms of time constraints that can be predetermined. (Apply this as it suits your entrepreneurial calendar.)
