If you’ve wanted to pursue entrepreneurship, this is for you 🤓 social media makes running a company look so easy but it is so not and you must remind yourself of that.

I was getting ready for a @grasshoppher event yesterday and while trying to find something in my notebook, I found hundreds of journal entries from over the years.

One in particular from when I was waiting to hear back from Radio Disney on signing my show. I had moved to LA, was sleeping on a floor in West Hollywood with two roommates and their super annoying dog. I had no idea what the fuck I was doing. There was no way Disney was going to say yes to a show I emailed them about when I’m not an actress and they’ve never done a podcast style show before.

I signed with Disney and then the show wrapped. I started Be Fearless Summit because I thought having my successful friends speak at colleges would be easy. It wasn’t, I lost money for 3 years, but eventually had a proof of concept when a school paid $10K for a summit!

December 2021: I had the idea to make a mentorship app, launched it on my website, and it kind of failed. For months I tried to figure out how to build an app on my own that involved the students I’ve mentored over the years and the 100s of people on a waitlist that wanted to be mentored. I couldn’t crack the code. Yet again, wtf am I doing?

Then came @grasshoppher and my now co-founder @heathermillernow. As I look back through these notes, 10 years of building community, a blog, a Disney show led to what our company is now.

Everyday I wonder what the fuck am I doing yet I’m doing it. You don’t have to know what you’re doing: you just wake up and you do it. As long as you do it, the answers come to you. #FearlessEveryday
