Finding Your Own Entrepreneurial Path

Have you ever felt trapped, stifled, scared, anxious, bored, depressed, dependent….pissed?

That was my day to day a few years ago. It seemed nothing I did was good enough. There was so much more I was capable of. I spent most days feeling like I wanted to explode. I felt that if I wasn’t Doing or Being ALL to everyone else around me…I was failing as a woman. *I* was never good enough. *I* should have always been doing MORE. Not for myself of course, but for others.

Sound familiar? FEEL familiar?!

Guess what? It is all BULLSHIT. If you spend your life selflessly doing and giving everything to everyone else the only thing that happens is you being taken for granted and never quite measuring up because they always want MORE. People are downright selfish when they know you will take it. They will let you drive yourself insane with feelings of inadequacy because it benefits them when you try even harder to make them happy.

I was “JUST” a Stay-at-Home-Mom. I was constantly degraded and meant to feel like I had nothing to offer. My own wants and needs never even came into the equation. I felt that I had NO say in ANYTHING.

Leaving was the obvious choice but it gets harder and harder to walk out that door when you are constantly put down. You start questioning yourself. Maybe I CAN’T make it on my own. Maybe I’m NOT good enough.

BULLSHIT. Complete and utter BULLSHIT.

There is no respect unless you yourself take it and expect it. They don’t “love you more” because you wait on them hand and foot. They don’t go out of their way to make sure you’re happy. They take advantage of the situation. They see what else they can get you to do. Quite honestly, they’ll sit on their ass for hours while you bust yours non-stop.

It is a harsh reality, but one I’ve seen repeated time and time again. I have never seen it magically get better. Only worse.

I now realize I played nice for way too long. I was miserable. I had no say in anything. My opinions didn’t count. My dreams took a back seat to everyone else’s EVERYTHING. Not a great way to live. Not how I was raised. I was actively raising my own daughters at this time to NOT do what I was doing. I made it a point to make sure they were intelligent, confident, and that they could and would think for themselves. Why then did I let myself fall into that trap?

It finally dawned on me that I HAD to do the same for myself. I’m smart, confident, and am ALWAYS willing to learn and try new things. I NEEDED to be self sufficient and confident in my own abilities. I don’t want to be stuck somewhere just because I don’t think I can make it on my own.

You should never accept being taken for granted or being made to feel less than anyone else.

You get my point. I lived that life because I thought I HAD to. I finally came to the conclusion that that was a pile of bullshit. I’m very smart, very capable, and I’m not afraid to stand up and go after what I want and deserve.

Taking Control for the WIN

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.

What does confidence and self sufficiency give you?

Your ability to leave an unhealthy relationship
Your self respect
Your autonomy
Your ability to make independent decisions
Your own life
Your ability to buy a fucking mascara just because

It feels good just reading that, right?!

The pros are truly endless. I feel fan-fucking-tastic and I LOVE helping other women find their own path so they can feel the same way.

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.

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.
