Wences Casaras points out that he is a natural entrepreneur. I am not! 

Does this disqualify me as an entrepreneur?

My mind doesn’t spin as I go into a business, trying to put together the pieces that make up the business. I haven’t ever wanted to learn how to run a business. There is a great need for people like me, one who likes to be detailed and focus on one task. Running the front end of an office is more my style. There is a lack of creativity within me that I am desperately trying to pull out.

One thing I can focus on as my husband and I open this restaurant that was really reinforced by Jan Newman’s video is that loyalty to God and family are natural to me. I love God, I love Jesus, and my husband, kids, and grandkids are my priorities! They know this! As we are hire employees, they will not only know this but become an extended part of my family!

I have learned that multi-tasking is not achievable. That term is used flippantly, "I can multi-task well."  It is not possible because our minds completely shift from one thing to another, although quickly, it does it fully. I am organized in my mind enough to recognize this. I must prioritize, not multi-task. Focus on the most important, keep my eyes and heart sharp, so that I can be the best version of myself.

In the book, Mastery, by Robert Greene, there were so many stories of prominent, well-known people and how they overcame all types of challenges. The common denominator for me was that they were all observant and self-aware. They were able to either take the criticism or ignore the negative comments and not only grow from them, but excel! I can open a business because I am great at a lot of things! The things I am not great at, I can observe and align myself with the right people to conquer any challenge!
