The Ups And Downs Of Entrepreneurialship
March 8th, 2008Lately I’ve been consciously observing my behavior, especially with regards to its closely linked relationship to entrepreneurialship, more specifically, to my businesses: DistinctiveFabric.com, GreenGurus.net and the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (others in the works too).
Not only is my behavior effected by moods as a Capricorn, but also by the ebb and flow of business within my companies.
I have been working more recently to regain my center as business can really monopolize one’s energies, if you let them. While administering some comments I was especially struck by this with one of my more recent posts, which came about after an intense bout of the flu and the collapse of my fabric company’s sale (quite the ups and downs with that in itself).
Now all this past week I’ve been kicking ass and making S**T happen. It’s interesting to note that when you’re on an up-swing, you’re really working in harmony, your chi/ki is rushing through you, demanding release. Hours will slip by as you work tirelessly, without food and little to no breaks.
Then all of the sudden you crash, realizing your last meal was like 6, 7 or more hours ago. So when you finally get to eating, you devour it like you’ve been starved a week in the desert. All the while (eating) you tell yourself: “Gotta’ take better care of myself, from now on…”. I’m sure you know this story well or will soon, if you’re just now exploring this kind of focus in your work.
Anyway, just thinking about how it’s nice to find that middle ground, that one-point…once you do life is just beautiful again.
