I don’t know if anyone else thinks of starting a business as “revolutionary”.<\/p>\n
But I happen to think it is.<\/p>\n
Maybe mine is the hundred millionth freelance writing business to ever be started in the world, but it’s my small act of rebellion against the norm.<\/p>\n
It’s me daring to take back my freedom in the face of forty years as a corporate stiff.<\/p>\n
And the funny part is that most people will tell you that a freelance writing business is all fun, all the time.<\/p>\n
How many poolside margaritas and beachy umbrella photos do you see when it comes to writing businesses?<\/p>\n
How many “laptop lifestyle” entrepreneurs do you see bragging about how they can work from anywhere, anytime.<\/p>\n
More like everywhere, all the time.<\/p>\n
I didn’t start my business just to become a slave to my own dreams.<\/p>\n
You won’t find my laptop anywhere near the beach.<\/p>\n
Call me a rebel… but I didn’t risk everything and take a leap of faith to work around the clock in my own business.<\/p>\n
And not only that, to have to wear all the hats to boot. Administrative assistant, project manager, head of marketing, AND person who actually does the writing.<\/p>\n
Who signs up for that voluntarily?<\/p>\n
It’s a lot of work.<\/p>\n
It takes a special kind of rebel to stand up and refuse to take orders, to willingly accept responsibility for making decisions and creating a new destiny… win or lose.<\/p>\n
It’s much easier to take orders and absolve ourselves of responsibility when we’re not getting the life we always dreamed of.<\/p>\n
Frankly, if everyone COULD start a business, everyone WOULD.<\/p>\n
Most aren’t willing to fight that fight.<\/p>\n
But I am…<\/p>\n
