Someone once said that if you’re not building your own dreams, you’re being paid---oftentimes much less than you’re worth---to build someone else’s. If that’s not a wake-up call to consider striking out on your own, we don’t know what is!

There are so many benefits that come with being an entrepreneur. The freedom of doing things your own way. You can create your own work schedule. You can have the convenience of working from home, if you like. It builds your skill sets, along with your self-confidence. You’re able to provide a product or service that you truly believe in.

If all of this has you sold, before you buy a domain and get business cards printed up, take a moment to check out some tips on how to thrive in the field. Being an entrepreneur is truly wonderful, but it also entails quite a bit of risk and requires a strong competitive edge.

We just want to do our part to prepare you as much as possible.

About Shellie Reneé

Just a woman who digs all things relationships. HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS, that is. I've been writing (professionally) for close to 20 years, including having two books published. I'm also a marriage life coach and doula. Sometimes I speak to large audiences or do radio interviews, but usually I'm sitting in my favorite chair, surfin' the 'net and penning stuff that I wish I had read in my early 20s.

Listen, I don't have all the answers, not by a LOOOOONG shot. But whatever I can do to spare folks any heartbreak, bitterness or straight-up drama, I'll devote some keystrokes to doing. 

That's it...in a nutshell. For the most part. Kinda. ;)
