Stop Kicking Your Entrepreneurial Spirit

Possessing an “entrepreneurial spirit” does not mean that you must have your own business. Not all business owners possess it.

When a business, career or relationship is new - you feel alive. The vision is clear. Senses are engaged and vibrating.

And for a while you feel unstoppable, until one one day you notice that you are hurtling through space on the busy-ness rocket - into the darkness until you literally start asking yourself:

“When did the light go out?”

“When did the path become littered with noise?”

“When did my passion turn into panic?”

That’s when a 180 degree u-turn can help you get back on the right track - by doing something different.

Be still. Turn down the volume of endless chatter in your head.

Breathe. Have you been holding your breath?

Share. Speak what’s on your mind with someone who can objectively ask the tough questions and offer you new perspectives. Find someone who’ll hold up the mirror so you can see the real you.

Dump the details that just don’t serve any purpose.

Try something different - hey maybe a kick butt life coach can help :-)
