-: So I ask myself all the time, I say
am I doing the right thing?
You know you have the safe job right next door.
That you could jump into that seat and then you have
the security, you have the benefits, you have all those
wonderful things that everybody has always told you
that's what you need to go for.
The new way of thinking, and I've factored
talking to very successful entrepreneurs is
the only way you can properly secure your job and future
is to make it on your own.
If I want it bad enough, and if I know how to do it
properly, which I feel confident that I do.
That I'm making the right decision responsibly
that I'll build a very strong future for myself
and who I'm working with
by being an entrepreneur and running my own business.
The hardest part is the unpredictable part of starting out.
You have very little data, little history.
So you're banking on your passion and your support group.
And you know you could have the most amazing support group
in the world but the industry changes a lot.
Consumer buying changes a lot.
So all these different unpredictable factors,
as a small business you could die out so quickly.
But I never, I don't really hone in on that thought too much
because if you do then you're just gonna,
you know be upset.
So I always think about the upside.
That as an independent newer brand,
you could stand out, you can shine a lot better
and you also have the flexibility to pivot
much faster than these big companies.
So I see myself as an agile entrepreneur business
that can make faster moves
a lot smarter than other companies.
