I never thought I would be falling over myself trying to get all these small business ideas up and running. Oh boy! It’s a challenge.

I had to delete things off my Redbubble because nothing was selling. I have to rearrange my Etsy because nothing was selling and now I am doing KDP journals that will be going up on Amazon soon.

I’m not looking to make a fortune doing these things, but a steady flow of income is all I need to support myself while I’m doing this life thing that I’m still figuring out and working towards learning my music all over again.

Entrepreneurship was a way for me to do music without worry and take time out about a job. You can’t do everything, but you can work smart and that’s what I am trying to do. I am kind of failing at it right now. Ha!

Money means stress free environment for me. It means not depending on others for assistance. It means moving to a new place, with a new energy and a new start.

Isn’t that the dream about entrepreneurship? Freedom? Don’t we all dream of that. Quitting the 9-5 job that we know is killing us and moving into something that frees our time up to experience more of life and new things that feed our soul even when it’s emptying our pockets.

We get more than financial stability. We get enrichment. We get excitement. We get peace and this sense that we are doing more with our lives then just working the rat race, 9-5 that we are all growing to really hate.

The rat race is killing us. I tried being in it and I couldn’t do it. But I didn’t work 9-5 in my adult days. The jobs I did were when the longest days were 16 hour days. I didn’t enjoy it. And I can’t even imagine what it would be like to work in a cubicle. I just can’t. I think my soul would cry if I ever tried to do that.

That’s why I’m trying a small business. If I could just get out of the town I’m in, I may be able to breathe easier.

The stress is soul crushing. How else can you describe it? Aren’t small businesses reflecting the need that everyone seems to be having lately to be more independent and self-sufficient?

I know I’m going to be ok. I have some SEO stuff to look at to promote my businesses better. Hopefully, that works.
