An Entrepreneur is Born

I set up shop in a spare bedroom. pcAnywhere afforded me access to the corporate computers at night in order to update accounts after everyone had left for the day. It worked beautifully. I was really happy. In six months I was on track to double the income I had made working full time prior to having a baby. This time, however, I was working six hours a week while my baby slept peacefully in his crib. I was hooked on entrepreneurship. I started thinking, “I’m really happy working. I’m making good money working six hours a week. I wonder what would happen if I did something full time?”

My husband traveled extensively at that time, which I didn’t like one bit. He would say, “I wish I could stay home with you and Griffin instead of traveling.” He was the primary bread-winner and felt the pressure to perform as such.

I had a conversation with him during which I said, “Look at what I’ve done so far. What if I did something bigger and better? Then you wouldn’t have to travel or have all the financial pressures.” He reminded me of our deal not ever to put our son in day care. We compromised that if I could find a family member to watch him at our house, I could start a more time- consuming business. It was with these parameters that I put on my “bigger thinking cap” to discover the business that was going to change our lives.

During this time two important things happened. I found the book Think & Grow Rich at the library and began reading it. As the classic personal-empowerment book it was a tad dry, but the concepts were good. Tony Robbins’ “30 days to Personal Power” infomercial was on TV. He seemed to have all the answers I was looking for. I really wanted those audio cassettes. But if a gallon of laundry detergent wasn’t in the budget, the $250.00 price tag for his cassettes was way out of the question!

I decided this was the first test of the universe to see how serious I was in building my empire. I put my thinking cap on and told myself, “There is no “no” anymore; there is only “how.” How are you going to get those tapes, Joyce?” I looked over the budget. We tithed exactly $250.00 a month at that time. I decided there was no harm in skipping a month’s donation to our church in favor of buying those tapes.

The plan was to buy the tapes, listen to them once and donate them to the local library. That way everyone in the community could benefit from the knowledge. Besides, when I became successful, wouldn’t the church make more money off of our tithing anyway? This is what I ended up doing. The library was thrilled to receive them.

Tony said to describe your ideal life. I thought, “I have it pretty good: a husband who loves me; the most adorable baby boy in the world; a new, beautiful home; health and extended family.
