What? A radio interview? Me?

Being a serial entrepreneur I started networking as a means to get out and meet people.  My primary market was not entrepreneurs but the poor federal employee with little to no budget.  These employees are visited by me and other defense contractor business development sales people on a daily, weekly or monthly basis.  I found myself working at a home office a lot and missing the water cooler talk so to speak.

My adventures into networking took me to a group called SLCircle (Formerly known as Entrepreneur Circle).  I have been involved with this group for over two years and I am on the board for this large networking group located in Utah.

I got the chance to speak on Women in Business and that led me to my latest adventure, a radio show.  Tysen Webb of the GoForItShow.  How does one prepare for a radio show?  With Tysen it was easy.  He guided me through the questions and I just answered them off the cuff.  I arrived at his recording studio in his basement and he put headphones and a microphone in my face.  We took a selfie of course.

 

We talked about my early beginnings in a small Utah town called Morgan.  How I started my first entrepreneur effort.  We talked about my new company BigSexyWords.  Listening to it later I realized I did have some ums and pauses but it was super fun.

I am extremely grateful that I get to influence other entrepreneurs through my life story and get to meet people like Tysen Webb.  So many talented people in the universe!

According to this article 5 Qualities of Successful Entrepreneurs, an entrepreneur has:

1. An unwavering passion.
2. Open-mindedness
3. The desire to be an expert.
4. A forward-looking approach.
5. A constant flow of ideas.

1.    But do they have money?  Very few can follow their dreams because they don’t have the financing.  I have personally fed entrepreneurs, let them sleep on my couch for a few days, and the ultimate happened this weekend when I let an independent film crew film a horror movie trailer, Diabolic, in my house.  This meant feeding them and having them invade my personal space two nights in a row.  It was a small sacrifice on my part and I hope the trailer finds them money to fund their project.

I have been able to start a new business because my other business is self sustaining…for now.  The business is BigSexyWords and we are copy writers.  I have given writing projects away for free not only to help other entrepreneurs on their way but give my own writers a chance to have some different projects that will enhance their writing ability and also give me a test of their skill.

I have been in business for 8 years and I have had excellent mentors and help along the way.  It makes me feel good to give back.  The point is I am an entrepreneur and I love other entrepreneurs and their projects.  It is exciting.  It is a drug to feel the positive energy and the excitement of them believing in their passion.
