One of the parts of entrepreneurship that my eyes were opened to this week was the responsibility that comes with being the steward over money. If you are running a company, you are the one that has to make sure everyone gets paid for the work they do, that the electricity and your vendors get paid, and that you are putting your company in a place financially to last, even through difficult times. That really is a big deal and a big burden to bear.
I have decided to pursue an email optimization consulting business as my $100 challenge. I have reached out to family members and friends for possible leads that I could pursue to get the company going. Since I'm just offering my time, my start-up costs are nothing and I hope that will provide me with stellar profits; however, I have to sell my services to someone first!
I also wanted to make note of one of the things I liked from Dr. Deshpande. He said, "Setbacks are a way to expand your comfort zone." I found that to be incredibly profound and I'm not sure I have even processed it entirely yet. But I want to remember it later, so I'm making note of it here.
