A darned good day

Yes, I know there don’t seem to be many of these, but I can’t believe that I’m some kind of entrepreneurial head case. I bet there’s a whole lot of suffering and angst going on in the start-up community all the time.

It’s just that I’m probably one of the few talking about it. Business people in general don’t seem to like to let on what a tough time they’re having. Stiff upper lip, go-get-em attitude and all that. Very northern European. But I talk about it because I think it’s important for people – especially fellow entrepreneurs - to realize that starting a business or any creative project can be just plain hard and depleting. That it’s normal to feel crushed a lot. That they’re not alone. 

We have to learn to cope with all the bad days.

AND we have to learn to enjoy the heck out of the great ones, when they come along. It’s only fair. We keep having to make lemonade all the time, so when life gives us pure dark Belgian chocolate, we deserve to revel in it.  

I felt like I was handed two boxes of bonbons yesterday because I got several big free-lance assignments (we entrepreneurs have to eat while building the biz ….) and especially because I signed up two terrific new bloggers for the Geniocity.com site. I’ll reveal more about them in the next week or so. 

It was fabulous.

So for a few hours – maybe a whole 24 (!) – I’m going to bask in the sense of relief and elation suffusing my sore psyche and let a few of my nerve endings romp therapeutically in the metaphorical Godivas and use a generous number of extremely large words just because I want to.

Good day and ganache to everyone.
