I am an entrepreneur

I wrote this back in 2013 when I was in the relatively early days of having created Firefly Leadership Ltd. Recently, I discovered that it had inspired others so I thought I would share it here. For more inspirational words, tools and resources, sign up for my newsletter and I’ll send you my thoughts and insight every week or so.

I am an entrepreneur.

I started something - a thing with a purpose.

I’m building something - a thing for the future.

I will change the world by thinking and acting.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

I have a vision, but I don’t know how it will transpire.

I have a purpose, and I don’t know if it will emerge.

I have a plan, and it changes daily.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

I took a risk, a chance, a first step.

I spoke my dreams out loud, dared them to become true.

I saw what could be possible and tried to make it real.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

I know I want things to be different.

I step, I leap, I crawl, I weep.

I get scared, I keep going.  I get tired, I keep going.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

I inspire some and terrify others.

I lead into new places and spaces.  Will you come with me?

I know I can’t do this alone.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

One of many and one of the few.

We all have a dream or a mission, a thing that we have to make true.

We know we might fly, fall or tumble.  And we know that we need to find out.

I am an entrepreneur.

I am an entrepreneur.

My time on this planet is finite.

I want to create a big impact, following the path of my choice.

I want to inspire you to dream and to live it.

I am an entrepreneur.
