This summer Glamtrepreneur was pushing full steam ahead with 12 “BizGlam” workshops in a very short amount of time. It was exhilarating and made me feel like I was doing something towards reaching my ultimate goal. And while lately life and work have caused Glam to take a more passive role, it has not been forgotten.
While there are a variety of reasons why I haven’t been aggressively pursuing it, the main one is that I’m just not sure what the next step is. And while I wouldn’t be a very good entrepreneur myself if someone just told me, sometimes it would just make moving on with the process a bit faster. And I definitely don’t ever want to wake up and regret not making Glamtrepreneur more of a priority.
These are few things I have been doing when I start to get panicked that I am not doing enough:
- I am moving forward. Even if I am not actively holding workshops, I’m still working on Glam. Sometimes I have to stop and remind myself of all the behind the scenes work I’ve been doing like getting a curriculum ready to sell, working on a movie and writing lesson plans. While no one else is seeing the work, it’s still happening.
- Know it will get done. I have other things going on in my life aside from Glamtrepreneur. At the end of the day, I need to keep up with my PR work to finance Glam and pay my bills. There is no way I can work on it full time, and I have to remind myself of that. Instead of stressing out, I have to remember that since I want it to happen it will in time. Not everything can happen as quickly as I would like.
- Have fun. As an entrepreneur, it is something that you have to remember over and over again…there will be no final destination, so you have to enjoy the journey. I am doing Glam workshops here and there while I lay a strong foundation, and I have to remember to enjoy these moments. Hopefully one day all of these moments will add up to a full company.
