CONFESSIONS OF AN ENTREPRENEUR  
Accion
 
The Road to Success

The last four months for me, have been an emotional rollercoaster of uncertainty. I laugh at myself because the journey of an entrepreneur is the one I've always known I wanted to travel. It's where I'm most comfortable. I'm always uplifted when I talk with other people who are on the same journey and making progress toward their vision. Just hearing their story, I'm inspired to persevere. It reminds me that my passion is a living, breathing thing that's worth pursuing, at all costs; even when it hurts. I'm learning that success takes time and means working a plan. I may not be where I want, but where I am is good too. When I focus on the good instead of the not so good, the journey is more enjoyable. I can take comfort in the fact that I'm not where I was two years ago.

Please share your thoughts on my confession and/or share one of your own on the Grant Source Facebook Fan Page.
