All of it is The Same: Blogging and Freelance Writing…
I just came to the realization that it is the same. I have been going back and forth with my leap of doing freelance writing on the side for well over 2 months. I didn’t do this much thinking and analyzing the situation when I started blogging over 2 years ago. I just simply got behind the keyboard, found blogger to start my writing and wrote. I believe my first post was about starting things and not knowing where it will go. Damn I don’t know where I would be if I didn’t start this blog. I have a couple of people that read what I write, made some great friends along the way, has given me direction and insight into what I think about, and a way for me to express myself through a way that i had no clue that will help me out ever. So that is what I have to do with this freelance writing gig. Take a chance, take a risk, and just do. Don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about if you are making enough money, don’t worry and just make life of whatever I make of it.
An Entrepreneur in Disguise
Definitions of an Entrepreneur from Wikipedia:
Is Entrepreneurship for Everyone?
NO
That was an easy answer, but I do believe if someone has an urge to try to make their idea come to life then they should give it a crack. But I believe it comes down to two factors that push people from doing something about their idea, laziness and determination.
The Franchise Business of the NBA
There are many successful business structures out there and one of the models that are seen so much are franchise businesses. The uniqueness of franchises is that all of them operate on the same business model and plan the main difference is that they are in different locations. A franchise main goal is to produce similiar results as all of the other franchises no matter what the circumstance (well that really depends on location, people that are hired, and other factors). Some of the most popular franchises are McDonalds, Walmart, 7-Eleven, Burger King, and many more fast food restaurants. All of the sport’s teams are franchises and one of the popular sports is the NBA (National Basketball Association).
This Year…
So far 2007 is interesting. It can easily be a repeat of last year and me resorting to my old ways, but guess what, I won’t. I have learned so much already this year this past week I can truely say that this is going to be a breakout year for me. I will be doing more traveling, reading, meeting new people, and trying new things.
What’s The Big Deal with a Business Plan and Model?
I at times wonder and ask people about their business, “How do you make money?”
It is an important question because you simply can’t survive if your business can’t make money. In my last business venture we had an incomplete business plan and a shaky business model.
The Direction of This Blog…
When I started this blog my intent was to write about the entrepreneurial things I was doing while working my day job. However, quite a bit of my topics have been more about situations in life than entrepreneurship. There are a couple of reasons because of that. One reason is that I like expressing my opinions about life’s experiences and the other reason is because I simply don’t have any profit generating business. The topics that I do talk about entrepreneurship are failed experience and complaining about other people.
What Have I Learned from Failure?
Failure comes in all sizes and never seems to stop regardless where you turn. I can honestly say that I am a failure and business is hard as shit. That is why so many people in the world resort to their day jobs and live their lives accordingly. I am not knocking those people, everyone has a different purpose in life, everyone is trying to survive one way or another. But the fact still stands, business is hard as shit. Nothing is given to you and everyone is watching your every move to see where you mess up and then beat you at your own game. Everytime I think of all the mistakes I have made it makes me cringe and want to run far away from anything dealing with business. Business is like life, hell everything compares to life, working out, going to school, being in a relationship. There are always ups and downs, however, all you hear is the successes. Damn I wish people will just keep it real about business as they do with life.
