Freedom and Independence – The Entrepreneurs Journey

FreedomThis Independence Day, I’d like to give a virtual toast to all of you who have chosen freedom from corporate life to pursue your own vision of independence.

The pursuit is not always easy – in fact, it can be quite an uphill battle sometimes. There’s no employer to subsidize your health care costs and no paid sick days or holidays.  There’s no punching out at 5:00 and leaving your troubles at the office.  For the solo entrepreneur, there is no team of coworkers to offer a pat on the back for a job well done. There is no ready-made marketing team to bring you leads and no ready-made sales team to convert your leads into sales.

There’s no sitting back and getting comfortable in a fast moving business world. Getting comfortable means not progressing forward and that means moving backward. Constantly stepping outside of your comfort zone must become routine.

The budding startup entrepreneur must wear so many hats, acting as a web designer, marketer, sales person, customer service person, book keeper, lawyer, accounts receivables manager, and find inspiration from within while juggling all of these tasks.

It can be tough. But in the end, you are free.

Free to choose your own destiny
Free to take your vision in any direction you imagine
Free to act in a way that is in line with your personal philosophy
Free to set your own schedule
Free to earn an income that is defined only by your boundaries
Free to make a substantial impact on the world
Free to align your work with your life goals

So here’s to freedom – and to all of you fellow entrepreneurs out there who feel that freedom is worth fighting for.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY…

american_flag.jpgWe have readers and visitors from all over the world and we appreciate all of you equally. However, we are based in the United States and would like to wish our US readers a “Happy 4th of July.”

Readership Favor, Some Stats and e-Byte

The Favor… puppy.jpg

I have a favor to ask of our RSS readership. Would you e-mail 5 people from your e-mail list letting them know about Create Business Growth and encouraging them to try out RSS? We even have an RSS tutorial to make it easy for the novice. In return, we will give you 10 additional entries in our upcoming contest if you will just e-mail Christine@CreateBusinessGrowth.com and let her know that you did this. We truly value you, our reader, and would like to gain additional readership. We have an internal goal for June which we will share with you when we get our e-Byte ready in July. If there is a favor that you have of us (other than making sure you win the gear), please let us know.

The Stats…

Over the last three days, we have averaged over 300 unique visitors per day which is not too bad for a 6 week old blog. Last week we had 1,999 unique visitors over a seven day stretch. We’ll share our tactics in our upcoming e-Byte.

The e-Byte…

We will be putting together an e-Byte, as we call it around here, which will be about a 10 page PDF on what we learned during our first weeks of serious blogging. That should be available for FREE in early July.

Memorial Day 2007 - Monday, May 28th

I’m not going to make this into a political blog.  However, I hope that you are enjoying your Memorial Day Monday.  About.com has some good information and other links concerning the Memorial Day Holiday.

Please come back Tuesday for our regular posting.  We encourage your comments on our blog.
