I’m sitting on my cousin’s porch in Stonecrest, close to where they’re building the new Black Wall Street, an inspiring project fueling Black entrepreneurship and community growth. I’m sipping coffee and eating a few pieces of a small Hershey’s chocolate bar with almonds while listening to my new Audible book, Never Eat Alone.
Every few minutes, someone drives by blasting loud music, drowning out the voice coming through my iPhone speaker. It annoyed me, and honestly, I don’t know why, because that used to be me.
Am I becoming one of those older men that just sits on the porch? Ha ha, maybe.
I like to work in the quiet.
Speaking of work, I love my work.
I tell myself, I love working. I know I love it because it connects me to people and purpose. I’m happiest when I’m doing it. And I carry this attitude: I know this is going to work. And if it doesn’t? No worries, I’ll find a way to figure it out.
See, I’m in love with the journey of entrepreneurship. Myron Golden said something the other day: There is no there there. At first, I was like, What is this man talking about? Then he made it clear, it’s not about the destination, the journey is the destination.
I literally almost threw my phone down because it hit me so hard. It’s something I always believed but never heard put into words like that. He made it real for me.
Enjoy the journey. Start a business,. Take risks, make mistakes and grow from it. Do something great. We only get one life to live.
God Bless The Entrepreneur
