Looking back at my life, I believe I grew up with an entrepreneurial spirit, although I didn’t see this at the time. So when I eventually graduated from college, I decided I was going to work for a great company. And I did; in fact I worked for a couple of great companies in various industries. And although I enjoyed the work I did on some levels, there was a part of me that just didn’t feel fulfilled. I hadn’t experienced that WOW factor of waking up and feeling inspired about what I did. I found myself the need to gravitate to more creative ventures and thoughts outside of the box
This was the beginning of my journey as an accidental entrepreneur. I didn’t think I wanted to be an entrepreneur; that was for other people. But it turns out that a lot of the values that were important to me were a huge part of that entrepreneurial spirit that had always been inside of me, just waiting to burst out. It felt a little foreign, very scary, and also ostracizing to some degree. Why couldn’t I be happy with where I was? My life was good, so why complicate it? Perhaps if I had recognized some signs that this innovation was a part of who I was, the transition into this new way of seeing things may not have been so challenging
