Permission to go for that new dream

"You're holding me back!!" I yelled. I slammed my fist on the steering wheel. I was in my parked car, on the phone, sitting outside of my music school.
​I was frustrated. 
I was angry. 
I felt misunderstood and held back.

It was not my finest hour. But I was fed up. I felt backed into a corner. I was being told to "calm down" and "be patient."  I was told that boredom is good. I should get used to it.
Those are not words that resonate with me.

As a creative entrepreneur, there is nothing inside of me that wants to maintain or keep things steady. I thrive on big new projects and coming up with new ideas. 
Even if I start something and shut it down.
Even if my big new idea doesn't get any further than my notebook.
Even if I start a website and Facebook page, only to close it up after I realize "This isn't what I want to be doing."
THIS is how I learn. I have to go explore. I have to try things on for size.

It drives Chris crazy.

He's not wired like this. He is wired to get the plan, implement the plan, and keep the whole thing running (thank God). The difference in our personalities can be VERY difficult sometimes. It causes conflict. Hurt. Misunderstanding.
But when we work through our differences, we also form an amazing partnership. 
It's just that getting to the "amazing" part can be very, very painful and hard.

Maybe you are a little like me. Maybe you are living in shame from false starts. Maybe you don't even trust yourself anymore. 
But the desire to do big things, try new things, invent, start, create. . . it just doesn't go away.
That's because you are an entrepreneur.

I've had many business coaches. Nine that I can count off the top of my head. They each have taught me something different. They each have given me skills that have helped me advance my company forward.

But the ones who provided a community of like-minded entrepreneurs have been the most effective.

I can't do life in isolation. Especially working from home. 
I need people who "get" me and who cheer me on.  I need a safe place to land when I'm discouraged. I need a safe place to brainstorm when I have a new shiny idea. I need people who TRUST that I can make it happen and not doubt what I am doing.

Let me challenge you: If you are surrounded by people who just want to play it safe, survive the week and get to the weekend, maintain what they have built,  or people who are negative, complaining, and super competitive, I challenge you to find a new community.

If you are a woman, surrounded by men, you may need a new community.
If you are a stay at home working mom surrounded by stay at home moms who do not work, you may need to add to your community.
If you are a homeschool mom and the only one of your friends who is working from home, you need to add to your community.

It's not healthy to stay isolated. 
YOU are not the one who needs to change. Your support system needs to change.
YOU don't need to blend in. You need to find a group that gets you.
FIND a group of people who celebrates you. Not questions you.
Find people who cheer when you are excited and mourn when you are sad.

You don't have to leave your marriage or abandon your friends. You just need to add to what you already have.

One more thing: Did you know that most millionaires have SEVEN streams of income? If you aren't wired to just run one thing, then it's time to listen to your gut and start that new thing.
Yes, some people will think you're crazy.
Some people will question what you're doing.
But you'll never know if you're right unless you try.
And who knows? The next thing could be the thing that changes everything.

After all, you aren't starting from scratch anymore. 
You're starting from experience.
