My passion for solo entrepreneurship stems from my belief that everyone has unique talents to contribute to the world, and should be able to do that while maintaining their personal integrity and lifestyle.
I love and collect quotes, as many people do. Following are three I especially relate to during this time in my life:
The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself. ~Anna Quindlen
To be nobody-but-yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting. ~e. e. cummings
Someone once said that it's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think you're not. Self-trust is what gets you to push your limits and take risks. Of the many secrets to success, self-trust and self confidence are foremost. ~Unknown Author
My mission is to inspire intentional change, wrestle you into action, call you on your stuff and empower you to achieve sucess ... whatever that means to you.
IGG is for you if you are . . .
