I’m a romantic.

But I like my stories to be realistic too.

Owning a business is NOT for everyone.

Fuck, no. Suggesting such a thing would be just crazy talk.

I don’t know what your career needs.

Only you do. If you do the work to discover what you feel passionate about, and find purpose in it.
Some of us thrive working for others. Some of use don’t. Give yourself the freedom to understand what your unique dream looks like.

Bottom line on owning a business.

Forget the whole thing if you don’t thrive in uncertainty.

    Tara, you're right! I don't actually own a business yet – but each day I feel I'm moving in that direction.

    Yeah, hmm… are you sure? One should not start a business if one don't LOVE uncertainty?

    Ain't that the truth!

    Btw, the quote of the day from the Dalai Lama states: “Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.”

    In my mind, running your own business is a great achievement because it sure does take nerve and guts.

    Hi Hanna, no, I'm not sure. But I know that you can be sure of uncertainty when owning a business and it seems to me it is a necessary skill to know how to handle it. What are your thoughts?
