Hustle and Flow

I work in public relations. I wanted to be a writer though somehow ended up in PR. I like what I do. Sometimes. I figured out what I do well at my job (managing people, being creative) and have tried to pursue opportunities that let me use those aspects of my abilities. That's my sanity saving tactic. Otherwise I'd pull out my hair. Trust me though, I still do get wicked Sunday Blues.

There's the classic scene in the movie Office Space where Ron Livingston admits if money were no object he'd do nothing. The idea of doing nothing is definitely tempting. Though folks with inherited wealth don't always sit on their laurels. In fact, some of the privileged actually take bigger risks and work hard at starting a business or bringing an idea to life. The catch there is those folks have less to lose, at least from a material stand point. Most of us have to hustle when it comes to being an entrepreneur. And sometimes the hustle hurts. Part of the mission of Done.com is also to help with the hustle.
