\"It's

I’m celebrating Elastic Mind’s birthday, except I just discovered it was yesterday…<\/h3>\n

I just wrote this article thinking today was Elastic Mind’s special day and while adding a hyperlink, I discovered it was actually yesterday. I’m celebrating today regardless.<\/p>\n

I wasn’t sure if 2 years in business was an anniversary or a birthday. I like birthday for Elastic Mind. I feel like I carried and birthed this bad boy.<\/p>\n

Opportunities are an outcome of Innerpreneurship — Innerpreneurship is not an outcome of opportunities.<\/h3>\n

Two years ago today<\/span> yesterday I published Are You An Innerpreneur?<\/em> and, in my mind, I officially launched my business. A month earlier, I had left my corporate marketing job with only my passion as security. I had no clients, no income source, no ‘plan’, only a desire to write and to build a business around my value(s). I believed I could do it, so I did it.<\/strong> I wasn’t sure exactly what my vision was but I knew where I wanted to go. I figured the rest would figure itself out. And it has.<\/p>\n

The last two years have been an odyssey. My life has changed in ways that make me glow. I wanted to believe that I was enough to build a growth business, and today, at 2, I know it’s true.<\/p>\n

It’s been fucking hard these last two years, don’t get me wrong. There are days when I’m certain this isn’t working and I want to give up. But when I stop and calm my fears and look objectively over the life I have created, I realize I am living my dream.<\/p>\n

It’s true. It isn’t bullshit. I really am enough. I can do this.<\/h3>\n

Today, funny enough, is my husband’s first day as a free man, working on his business, ReGenerate Biogas<\/a>, full-time. We didn’t plan the dates to align. Neither Daniel nor I have glamorous fast growth or big money business success stories. We simply have small daily gains that add up nicely.<\/p>\n

It’s Elastic Mind’s 2nd birthday, and I’m damn proud!<\/span><\/h1>\n
