Gut check #008 written by JM on 1/31/20.

Sources of pride

That in an accidental-on-purpose move to become an entrepreneur, I matched my old salary in my first 1.5 years of operating. That I am able to lead a balanced life and care for myself financially, emotionally, and spiritually, while creating a business and brand.

Sources of anxiety

Doubts about whether my intent will come through in what I create; worry about imagined harsh critics.

Bold future dreams

To create an industry-specific space for connection and meaning, for learning about oneself and others. To connect with investor(s) who share the vision and desire to be of service.
