Mind Your Own Business: Unsolicited Advice

February 20, 2014/2 Comments/in Blog, Entrepreneurship, Small Business/by Colleen Eakins

This post is a vent. Well, sort of because I am actually in a good mood, but I wanted to write about something that grinds my gears – unsolicited advice. Before I was an entrepreneur full-time, I hated when people would give me unsolicited advice about my life. I especially hated receiving it from people […]

Keeping Burn Out at Bay

February 19, 2014/0 Comments/in Blog, Entrepreneurship/by Colleen Eakins

Whether you are an entrepreneur or working within the traditional job market, burn out is a dangerous state to slide into. I had a friend recently ask me what do I do when I feel myself approaching that edge, the cusp of feeling burned out. I had a laundry list of things that I told […]

Instant Gratification or Delayed Gratification? Can I Have Both?

February 18, 2014/0 Comments/in Blog, Random Musings/by Colleen Eakins

As a kid, I believed that there was a predestined and set path to life when it came to adulthood. I was supposed to go to college, get a degree and then get a job. Working life meant working your fingers to the bone in some way unhappily, griping and complaining, and being tired until […]

February 14, 2014/0 Comments/in Blog, Random Musings/by Colleen Eakins
