I’m alive and kicking! These past few months have been absolutely crazy. Just yesterday, I was just telling one friend of mine this year marks 10 years since I started writing this blog. I know I promised myself I wouldn’t stress if I couldn’t keep up the pace. The fact is that this blog is “like” one of my “babies.” And believe me, the guilt of not showing up at this little window at least a couple of times a month is real. That idea is there, and it burdens me.
I’m also aware that we are already in July (I had written June — just so you see how scrambled I am), and that I’ll be on vacation in August, but here I am, giving it my all like there’s no tomorrow. So today, here I am.
Don’t worry, I’m not going to go on and on. Today I just wanted to share a thought with all of you about a conversation I had a few days ago with a colleague. She was asking me about the blog and said: “Oh, okay, so it’s a blog about people who start businesses, the self-employed.” (Yes, all in masculine terms, of course.) “No”, I said. And I explained everything — what a P.E. means to me and the differences I see between the typical “entrepreneur” and a “P.E.” (I also talked about the similarities, which there are quite a few of). Truth is, she really liked “my philosophy” and the way I understand this more-than-just-a-concept.
In any case, the other day I came across an ad about becoming an entrepreneur that I’d like to share with you today. And if you feel like it, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments:
What are the skills and competencies a P.E. should have?
Thank you for being there!
Happy June.
