Welcome

The following is a recent radio interview telling you the why, how and other details of my personal journey as a massage therapist to the success I am enjoying today as a mobile business spa owner.

What do you feel about the word entrepreneur?

If you are wanting to make a change in your current situation you could consider yourself an entrepreneur?

I received an email from a massage therapist in the Netherlands this week. He wants to start doing mobile massage and wanted to know if you could help him to "realize his dreams".
Although he told me he's a great massage therapist, he was quick to let me know he's not an entrepreneur.  I got the feeling he was uncomfortable with the word. I didn't want him to feel intimidated by the word and not go after his dreams, so I decided to google "entrepreneur" and this is what I found:
An entrepreneur is a person who has possession of a new enterprise, venture or idea and is accountable for the inherent risks and the outcome of a product!

I found out there are different types of entrepreneurs.

Social entrepreneur

A social entrepreneur is motivated by a desire to help, improve and transform social, environmental, educational and economic conditions.

Serial entrepreneur

A serial entrepreneur is one who continuously comes up with new ideas and starts new businesses.

Lifestyle entrepreneur

A lifestyle entrepreneur places passion before profit when launching a business in order to combine personal interests and talent with the ability to earn a living

Your assignment this week is to ask yourself what kind of entrepreneur you are?  Once you have picked which one you are, ask yourself how would making a change in your current situation make you feel and how would it improve your life?
