Letter from the Editor... r o t c e r i D c i t s Arti Being an entrepreneur is exhausting. Sometimes I feel like I’m doggie paddling my heart out just to keep my head above water. There is always something that needs to be done. A project to start. An email to write. Commenting. Posting. Conference calls. Videos. Lives- treams. Sales funnels. The list is eternal. Sometimes it is enough to make you want to curl up and hide. In fact, as I’m writing this letter, I’m fighting the urge to pour myself a glass of wine and curl up with some Netflix. Wouldn’t it be nice to NOT be busy? Is all of this worth hustling your ass off ? Why not just give up? It isn’t a question of giving up, it is a question of WHAT you are giving up. What would you be giving up if you stopped hustling? What rewards would you NOT be receiving if you didn’t put in all the hard work? When I start feeling like throwing in the towel and taking the easy road, it doesn’t take much to snap me out of it. I look how far I’ve come. I look how our community has grown. I look at the impact I’m making. I see how much happier I am now vs then. I look at the potential of all that is possible. I trust the Universe will take care of me. And, I remember..... It is so HARD, but it is SO WORTH IT. XOXO, Kathy 3
