Is it just my imagination, or are my last few posts a bit negative? And this one may be as well. I’m talking about time today, and the lack thereof.
Basically entrepreneurship takes a lot of time, especially if you keep your day job like everyone including myself suggests. Then there are those with households, those who are mothers, those going to school, and basically anyone who is wearing multiple hats. I’m still in shock over hearing about women who would be mothers (sometimes single mothers), working full-time, going to school full-time, plus they wanted to start their own businesses. If they can do it then I’m proud of them, but at the same time I could always watch their candles burn at both ends.
In the latest new Superman movie (which I didn’t care for in case you are wondering) Lux Luther (or however you spell his name) basically said that land is a rare commodity since we can’t make more of it. I beg to differ. Just throw a bunch of rocks out into some body of water and before long you have your own island, and who wouldn’t want to own their own island?
Time on the other hand can’t be made. If you want more time you simply hire someone else who has more time. Basically you are buying their time.
So, how do crazy women who do everything under the sun do it? Good question. First of all I think it’s a lack of priorities and organization, but that’s an argument for another day. Beyond that I think it’s just plain determination. It’s determination to make it in this world. It’s determination to see their dreams a reality. It’s determination to not be swallowed up by everything. It’s determination to take care of their duties while taking care of everything else too.
And so I’ve begun to see the effects of determination work in my own life. I’m tired of failing. I’m tired of seeing unfinished projects and unfinished dreams. Slowly but surely this determination is finding root and growing within me, so watch out world cause here I come! (I just hope I can keep at least one end of my candle intact.)
