5 Unexpected Questions to Help Find Your Inner Entrepreneur

My childhood friend was always looking to make a quick buck. She had entrepreneurial instincts from an early age that pushed her to leave high school early and learn how to gillnet fish in Alaska. She now owns her own boat and commercial fishing outfit. She’s just shy of 30.

I’m totally different. I’ve worked since I could, sure. I valued hard work at an early age. Hard work, but not smart work. I learned to show up on time, apply myself diligently, and reap a small financial reward along with (hopefully) some praise.

What I learned in my early twenties is that, often, jobs you qualify for with a degree won’t even pay your bills. This made me very angry.

But, feeling furious doesn’t make you money (unless you’re Simon Cowell, I guess?) so instead of being mad all the time about how desperate I was for cash, I started a side hustle.

I now own and operate a bartending catering business and thus far, it's going pretty well.

Here I offer five questions I asked myself that led me to tap into my inner entrepreneur. Read More.
