Being a start-up CEO is a lot like being bi-polar, you are subject to extreme highs and lows in both attitude and energy level. Unlike someone afflicted with such a condition medically however we are in complete control of how this affects us and those around us. In recent months I personally have gone through some challenges with this and I'm here to tell you there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
I've decided that this blog would better serve you my loyal readers as an account of the trials, tribulations, and rewards of being a start-up entrepreneur. I have had my fair share of ups and downs but have recently been blessed with a resurgence of energy, motivation, and dogged determination to see my venture succeed. I wish that I could say that this was entirely my own doing, but sometimes these things require an outside stimulus.
As a result of this stimulus more has been accomplished with Stigmare and Emerald City Fashion Week in the last month than in the previous three combined. Emerald City Fashion Week in particular has gained a tremendous amount of momentum both on and off of Twitter. I Hope that you will pardon my vagueness as to the nature of this stimulus, be assured it is a positive influence. Maybe at some point in the future I will be more transparent as to its nature, but for now discretion is the better part of valor.
If there is a message I would want you to take away from my rambling here it would be this. Never loose faith in your vision and passion. Have absolute confidence in that fact that if you firmly believe in your dream you can bring it to fruition. Focus your mind on the smallest of details. I can see the vision of what Stigmare will be so clearly in my mind that I can smell the coffee in the breakroom and hear the clicking of heels on the marble entry of our chic downtown office. It is this level of clarity and passion you need if you are to see your vision come to pass.
Thank you for indulging me once again, and I leave you with one of my favorite quotes.
"We are what we repeatedly do. Exellence then is not and act, but a habit." Aristotle
