Monday Starts On Sunday

For an entrepreneur of today, at least one that wants to be successful, the week sometimes starts on Sunday. So with the football game looming in the background and my favorite burrito from Chipotle in hand, the work begins. I'm tempted to think that I could be out chillin at the National Harbor on what is sure to be the last of some really great weather, but I am quickly brought back to the MAC that is sitting on my lap.
Is this what it takes for my business to succeed? Is this what I really want? Maybe I should just update my resume and start the search for that "perfect" position. Of course that certainly is not the answer, the thought of having to pimp myself out again like that is not at all appealing. After quitting my job more than a year ago to start my company, my friends thought I was crazy and for a minute maybe I was slightly insane. "Who would start a business in this economy", they would say or "Why don't you just accept something for now." I realized then that I would tell my hopes and dreams only to those whom I felt would understand and support my efforts and that ended up being only two people. I had many thoughts along the way of possible failure and humiliation but ever present on my mind was "I think I can...I think I can" and I did.

Here I am more than a year later after becoming a full-time entrepreneur and yes my company Kennedy Consulting is growing and I'm continuing to step out on faith, not that surface faith but the kind that gets in the crevices. Oh and stepping out in class certainly didn't hurt either!

Big shout out to Rushing Media the small business of the week!
