March Maddness
No, I’m not talking basketball…but the best of luck to Butler in the Sweet Sixteen next weekend. I’m talking about business.
A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to everyone who has given Watershed Studio their business, referred business to Watershed Studio and who has just plain supported me in this endeavour. Getting a business off the ground is a much harder task that one might think (especially on less than a shoe-string budget) and earning the referrals of others does take time.
So, with that said, I am quite ecstatic to say that business has escalated over the past few months and my mind is beginning to be set at ease *a little*. While entrepreneurship is in my blood, there are days when I begin to wonder if I’m insane to pursue something that is truly volatile no matter how much control I think that I have over it. I begin to fantasize that “life in the cube” is easier and more secure than what I’m attempting to pull off, and in some cases I may be right, but then I snap back into the reality that I’ve been laid off from three (yes three) different jobs by the time I was twenty-eight years old…and that the job market around here is much worse than the government would have you believe (regardless of the field). Then I quickly remember why it is that I’m pursing this crazy dream of mine.
While I’m still applying for jobs and going on interviews as opportunities present themselves, I’m going to continue to ride down this road to see where it leads. I would just hate to arrive at old age and to regret not exploring the possibilities when I was younger.
