The entrepreneurial spirit was definitely there all along but the thought of actually starting a business wasn’t even a consideration. I saw a ‘need’ and dug my heels in and said “NO WAY….I don’t know anything about starting a business.” Then I hoped and prayed someone else would do what I saw needed to be done.” The funny thing is, I have since learned, that when an idea needs to be birthed there’s really nothing you can do to stop it. I couldn’t stop thinking about it and because I truly believe ‘what you think about, comes about’ people who knew how to help make this happen began to show up all around me. I wrote down every idea that I thought might possibly be a part of the business. After getting validation after validation that it truly was a good idea I enrolled in an “incubator” workshop that helped women entrepreneurs launch businesses. With the help of this group of peers I saw the vague idea take form. One of the most important steps I took was to surround myself with people who knew what I did not know. I think one of the pitfalls of the entrepreneurial personality is the need to do it all. I quickly discovered I could not. Admitting that early in the process allowed me to focus my energy and talent where it was strongest and watch the business I had birthed grow and take on a life of its own. I’m learning each day but I’m no longer afraid to say ‘hey….I need help”.
