I Write for Me
To remind myself why I am here, what's important, and to be accountable.
I'm so fucking confident in myself. Not because I'm Michael Simmons, and I've been an entrepreneur for 9 years.
I'm so confident, because I'm human. Because I believe that anybody at any point in time has the potential to achieve anything regardless of their past.
In terms of business, I'm SO behind where I thought I'd be. Some of my friends who are entrepreneurs have grown more quickly. That is painful. It has hurt my confidence and made me question myself. Am I a good entrepreneur? Are we doing the right business idea? What am I doing wrong???
Then, I remember that I'm human. And, I don't say that as an excuse. I say it for inspiration.

Through the Noise
With the world so busy, it isn't always easy selling your vision to other people. When your vision is unique, you can't just expect people to 'get it'. Otherwise, everybody else would have already done it.
With that said, when other people say "No", is the beginning, not the end. It is an opportunity to:
- Understand people's point of view so you can sell your vision better next time.
- Show people how much you believe in your vision, by not taking "No".
- Get past people's time filters. Most people want to help, but there just isn't enough time. When you break through the noise and create slight tension, you have the opportunity to show that you and your idea are good investments.
I'm realizing that as our company grows so does the news. Everday we get good news and bad news. Lots of people saying 'yes' and lots of people saying no. This takes me on a daily roller coaster ride that can be emotionally draining at times.
As I was reading Do You! by Russell Simmons, I came across the solution: Confidence!! I've heard it said that success is going from failure to failure with confidence. That's what I think about pursuing one's vision.
The more confident I am in myself and my vision, the more the "downs" become opportunities and stepping stones toward achieving the vision. The less confidence I have, the more the "downs" become signs that the vision is about to unravel and that I'm a fraud.
How to develop and maintain confidence? Now, that's a whole other blog post.

One Day, All Children...
I just read Wendy Kopp's book, One Day, All Children.... It is ridiculously good. The best testimonial I can give is that I started it a few hours ago and finished it a few minutes ago.
Wendy is the founder of Teacher for America, which she started while still a senior at Princeton University in 1998. Today, it has an operating budget of over $50 million and reaches over 350,000 students / year.

Serve Your Calling
Do you have a responsibility? To serve a purpose? Something that only you can do?
I’m not talking about the rich helping the poor, the old helping the young, or the educated helping the uneducated. I’m also not talking about something set in stone that God says you must do with your life.
I’m talking about us as human beings, realizing the blessing that life is no matter what our circumstances, and realizing that we are uniquely suited to make a contribution in this short life. Everyone has a unique background, unique strengths, and something that uniquely makes their heart sing, or their calling.
Not knowing what makes our heart sing is not an excuse for just passing through life. On the contrary, it is a call to action. It is a call to listen to life’s clues and test them like a scientist tests a hypothesis or like a child solves a puzzle.
