YOU ARE MORE THAN THE ONE THING YOU DO?! #DEMYSTIFYINGENTREPRENEURSHIP #23

Meanwhile, I was doing the show. But once I put my microphones down, I was up galivanting on river road. Some streets quite creepy, but was informed that is where the treasure is. Sigh, it was such a great discovery how the dirty steel and tires was where money lay. It was my quest to seek how people did it. They didn’t look IT, but were IT. As the farmers who tilled, got their hands dirty, but their pockets were far from dirty. Doing things everyone was running away from you was a great opportunity.

So occasionally I would attempt to sell as they. For the first time, I came to discover that selling can be quite exciting. It had always seemed daunting, but I realized each of us selling something. That even if I didn’t have to sell shorts and tops, I would still do it.

This was starting to look confusing. I was becoming Esther of ALL TRADES. Even I didn’t know how to answer the question of, “WHAT DO YOU DO REALLY?” Well, uuuuurm, I would catch myself unsure. Don’t know why that question feels like some mega judgement. Though not the case, it is just that at the point, even you are quite unsure of your activities. You do feel like a professional gallivanter. We are used to being defined by a TITLE, crushed if we couldn’t be given. And for a long time I hadn’t had one. I had only been in full time employment for 4 months. And this question was kido offing, I was off “normal.”

But having this lifestyle allowed me to do the many things. Allowed me to spend my twenties learning, maybe not making as much as all, he he he he, some days I was below the poverty line. It was only when I looked back that I realized, I was now becoming “overqualified”. Being a perennial volunteer had built my expertise. And learned mostly, You are whoever, you say you are.

As TD Jakes put it, WHAT YOU DO IS NOT WHO YOU ARE!!! WHEN PEOPLE GIVE YOU TITLE THEY IMPRISON YOU. YOU ARE WHATEVER IS IN YOU. YOU ARE MORE THAN WHAT PEOPLE CALL YOU , MORE THAN THE JOB TITLE.”

Thus, it became key to discover: What am I made of, my capacity? How far can I stretch? Who do I want to be? And most importantly made me discover multiple source of income :D.
