“I never dreamed about success. I worked for it.” Estee Lauder, Founder of Estee Lauder Cosmetics

As an entrepreneur I have so many ideas going through my head at one time and this started from as young as I can possibly remember. I would see problems and solutions to problems and would spend many days and nights on how to make it all come together. But wait while I was still thinking of that problem to solve, I found another one and yet another one and they were all swirling in my head constantly. It was what I would call a blessing and a curse because I would and still do at times lie down at night and I can’t seem to shut my mind down. Eventually I fall asleep out of pure mental exhaustion. But as much as it can keep me up and keep me thinking I love it. I love the thought of possibilities, the what if’s, the results. See I think so many times we have so many ideas that we just don’t know where to start, so we don’t, we basically give up before we even truly start and then we are off to another brilliant idea. Which is probably why Estee Lauder reminds us that true success in life comes from good old hard work. A lost commodity in today’s day and age. My hope is when you are given a God given idea you run with it and work hard at making it come to be. It’s in the grind, the hustle, the hard work that is where you truly develop who you are as a woman, a business owner and entrepreneur.
