UnCagedPhoenix Magazine: February 2019

February is generally the month where people start to slack on all the life-changing ideas and plans to which, at the end of 2018, they pledged their undying dedication. If that is you, don’t beat yourself up. Life is not a 100-meter race. It’s a marathon. The fact that you began the process—envisioning the various ways to improve your happiness, health, goals and overall value of your life—is already a great success. You are not alone in this! So instead of giving up, we are going to figure out a new game plan together.

ENTREPRENEUR CORNER<br />

or entrepreneurs, having passion isn’t enough. Though you may have innovative ideas<br />

or possess genuine talent, if you are not willing to put in the work while maintaining<br />

an entrepreneur’s mentality, your business will never grow. In fact, it may never<br />

materialize into anything more than a concept.<br />

As an entrepreneur you have to be willing to combine your passion with a strong mindset.<br />

For example, being great at making hair products does not mean that you won’t have to<br />

work at developing sales techniques, strategy, customer service or learning the ins and<br />

outs of packaging and shipping. In order to survive, a business owner has to be willing to<br />

gain a deeper understanding of the various facets of their given industry, while also adapting<br />

and incorporating knowledge from other industries. Passions and gifts alone will not feed<br />

your kids. Passion and gifts alone will not pay your bills. You have to have the mindset.<br />
