I work one full-time job, one part-time job and run my own business. Basically, constant chaos. However, being an entrepreneur has some major perks (besides free coffee in my case) that make taking the risking plunge worth while.

The Good

1. No Useless Meetings

99.9 percent of my meetings are done over email, phone or are 30 seconds or less. Win.

2. Tap In To Your Passion

If you were this cat, it would be tuna. For me, it's coffee.

3. Affect and Implement Change

The ability to be able to change peoples perceptions about how ‘this or that’ should ‘be’. Go crazy with it.

No matter what it is! Do the things. Make them happen.

5. Control


No more. Whether it's the people you work with, the office you're stuck in, or the dead-end job your pretending with, you never have the control. Now you can.

The Bad

1. The Sum of Hours

I think last time I checked, it was around 70+.

2. Employee By Day, Entrepreneur By Night

Unless your business/idea/model/etc. sells for big bucks right off the bat, there is a certain amount of stress to be found in working multiple jobs just to be able to be an entrepreneur. It seems a little crazy, right? Well, it is.

3. Life Motto: "What's Sleep?"

I'm more tired than not.

4. Always On Call

I often find myself "working" while supposedly "taking time off". Vacation? Hope they have Wi-Fi.

But really...

Being an entrepreneur is great. Hectic and tiring, yes, but pretty much the bomb-dot-com on all other levels. I get to meet and work with people from all over the country and even world, create meaningful work and relationships and bring people I love some pretty dang good coffee.

Are you passionate about something? Want to see a change implemented or solve a problem? Do it. Take the plunge and do it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
