Yes, that’s actually me…appearing as part of a feature article on “Generation X” entrepreneurs in the Washington Post Business section. I had been in business full-time for 2 years and had just turned 30! Where does the time go?
This month, I celebrate 18 years as a full-time entrepreneur. In that time, we’ve been on an economic roller coaster, and I’ve seen many businesses come and go. There have been times when I’ve experienced incredible exhuberance, and times when I’ve doubted whether I was on the right path at all.
During one of my “down” periods, I went to one of my trusted advisors and asked what I should do: Get a loan? Look for investors? Take a job? His answer – “Hustle More!”
I answered, “how can I possibly hustle more than I am right now?” But when I was honest with myself, I realized that it wasn’t how much I was doing, but how many of the right things I did that mattered. That meant focusing my attention on the activities that made me the most productive, profitable and fulfilled. It also meant surrounding yourself with people who support your vision, both emotionally and with needed resources.
