Finding Your Own Entrepreneurial Path
Stop Letting Them Take Everything
I used to believe my worth came from being everything to everyone else.
If I wasn’t giving, doing, fixing, and sacrificing — I was failing.
Bullshit.
All that gets you is taken for granted. People will let you run yourself into the ground if it benefits them. And they will never magically start valuing you more.
I was “just” a stay-at-home mom. My voice didn’t matter. My dreams didn’t matter.
Leaving felt impossible because I’d been torn down for so long I started to believe I couldn’t make it on my own.
But here’s the truth: I’m smart. I’m capable. And I can build my own damn life.
So can you.
Stop accepting less than you deserve. Demand respect. Build independence. And never, ever apologize for putting yourself first.
Building a New ME
I Called Bullshit on My Own Life
Trapped. Stifled. Anxious. Bored. Depressed. Dependent.
…And pissed.
That was my life every damn day a few years ago. Nothing I did was enough. I knew I had more in me — but I was constantly told, in words or in silence, that I wasn’t doing enough. Not for myself, but for everyone else.
I thought if I wasn’t everything to everyone, I was failing.
Bullshit.
Here’s the reality: If you spend your life giving until there’s nothing left, the only thing you get in return is being taken for granted. And once people figure out you’ll take it? They’ll keep taking. They’ll let you work yourself into exhaustion because it benefits them.
I was “just” a stay-at-home mom. My opinion didn’t count. My needs weren’t in the equation. My dreams? Nonexistent.
Walking away should have been obvious. But when you’ve been put down long enough, you start to believe the lies: Maybe I can’t make it on my own. Maybe I’m not good enough.
Bullshit. Complete, utter bullshit.
There’s no respect unless you demand it. They won’t love you more because you sacrifice yourself. They’ll take more. They’ll see what else they can get out of you while you run yourself ragged.
It doesn’t magically get better. It gets worse.
I played nice for too long. My life revolved around everyone else’s EVERYTHING. I was teaching my daughters to be smart, confident, and independent — but I wasn’t living it myself.
That’s when it hit me: I had to start doing for me. I’m smart. I’m capable. I can learn. I can build. I can stand on my own. And I will never again stay in a life that makes me small just because I’m scared of what happens if I leave.
You should never accept being taken for granted. You should never accept being made to feel less than.
I lived that life because I thought I had to.
Now I know better.
And I’ll never let anyone convince me otherwise again.
I sat myself down and figured out what would truly make me happy and ways in which I could go about attaining those things. The more I figured things out and thought for myself…the better I felt. I noticed that the more I stuck up for myself and educated myself, the less I gave a shit about others opinions. I absolutely trust my own opinion and abilities. I am constantly improving myself, and I love to share this knowledge with other women.
I realized my true passions lied in entrepreneurial pursuits. I tend to have a TON going on in all sorts of different areas. I spend a lot of time educating myself, learning new skills, learning side hustles I can work from home, building my confidence, building others confidence, volunteer work, and basically whatever the hell else I want to do.
Home Based Business Ventures
My goals included wanting to work from home. I wanted to make money doing things I loved on a schedule that I chose. I will probably always be a work in progress but that is because I absolutely love everything I am doing and learning. I am taking on several home based ventures and Bitchpreneur is one of them. My goal here is to share everything I have learned along the way. I wanted to create a site that includes all the information I found myself looking for in my own pursuits. I want to provide the tools necessary for anyone to succeed.
This is where Bitchpreneur came into my life. My life is completely different now. I answer to myself. I rely on myself. My confidence and trust in my own decisions might be a tad out of control. Not in a shitty way, but rather in a way that I have built rock solid boundaries and am a completely comfortable in expressing them.
The best and most effective way I have found to bring light to these situations is to talk, teach, and encourage.
The New Me kicks ass. She is confident, strong willed, extremely intelligent, and loves tackling problems to find solutions.
I realized I was extremely passionate about helping other women in the same situation. Becoming self sufficient opens your world to a million possibilities and the confidence it instills is mind blowing.
I hate seeing anyone miserable and stuck in a shitty situation. There are money making skills and talents in all of us. We all have access to an unprecedented amount of free online education to enhance our skills. I
I’m a strong believer in women helping women become the best they can be. I AM a bitch when it comes to sticking up for myself. I am NOT a bitch in general. I have loads and loads of good Karma points. I help anyone who truly asks for and needs it. I don’t think confidence equals bitchiness. I won’t tolerate anyone running anyone down on this site. I’d like us all to help each other grow into our best and happiest selves.
