Blue. Green. Orange. Purple. The colors clash and dance, daring you to make sense of their chaos. Crazy daisies, we call them. They’re not just flowers; they’re a rebellion in a vase, a gift from my daughter’s world of make-believe.
And these crazy colors?
They remind me of the unpredictable journey of entrepreneurship.
Their soft petals and feminine curves whisper secrets of carefree days.
Their scent—a heady mix of nostalgia and possibility—transports me to an open field where rules don't exist, and my inner child can sprint wild and free.
Naturally, this sends my mind spiraling into the world of entrepreneurship... and writing. So many entrepreneurs hit a wall because they’ve forgotten one crucial thing:
How to have fun. Yeah, I said it.
That's where the magic hides in this crazy game of entrepreneurship.
The setbacks, the rollercoaster highs, the soul-crushing lows, the wild, unpredictable twists—they're all part of it. Celebrate the small wins, toss in some humor, or throw together a team-building shindig that doesn't suck.
When you learn to have fun, your work and life will bloom like gardens flourishing under a meticulous gardener’s care.
That’s why I write. I revel in the chaos, the unyielding structure, the relentless learning, the beautiful unfolding of it all.
A fun and playful approach? It sparks creativity, boosts team morale, and sharpens problem-solving skills. All of it is crucial for business success.
Letting go of rigid planning in my life?
Not a walk in the park. But now that I'm having fun again, it's like stepping into that field of daisies, wild and free.
The one thing we're all chasing?
Freedom. But there are so many nuances to freedom.
What’s the one thing you crave most in life right now?
Got your answer? Now, ask why you want it.
Then, dig deeper. Keep asking why until you hit the core of your desire.
Why?
When you’re having fun, life flows. Everything falls into place.
Most of us grind through our days. Sure, it’s key to hitting those goals and staying on track. But it blinds you to the amazing opportunities right under your nose.
You become colorblind (I dig into this in my book).
Nobody wants someone who’s all business all the time.
Life’s vibrant colors matter.
Success? It’s relaxed and playful. Money? It’s childlike curiosity and boundless energy.
So, stop fixating on perfection. Open up. Play. Let your business be the crazy daisy in a world full of roses. Because success? It’s in the laughter, the mistakes, and the unexpected turns of a fun-filled life.
