Worth It Wednesday!!! Class Is In Session!!!

Wednesday, June 1, 2011

Anyone who knows me, knows that I take education very seriously. If and when I felt my little Herb'n Village didn't have enough homework, much to their dismay, I'd crawl the Internet looking for age/grade/potential appropriate assignments to supplement their schoolwork. And, when it comes to me, I will read just about anything I can get my hands on, just to learn something... anything.... new. With that being said, I've been giving a lot of thought lately to my business savvy, making sure to target my strengths and weaknesses. This self assessment led me to discover one of my biggest hinderances --my lack of education (dunh dunh duhnnnhhhh) sans the cornball sound effects.

I'm a self taught soap maker, whose made great strides in my business life. But here lies the problem: I have no formal education in the business arena. Now even though my Mama taught me that "anything is possible," and gave me a million "if I believe it, I can achieve it" speeches, I knew that my soap making skills would only take me so far. I needed some type of business background, if I intended to actually make it in this biz. So with that in mind, I recently decided to return to school, now majoring in Business Entrepreneurship. Today was my first day of summer school, online classes-- YIKES!!! I'm a bit nervous, but, I moreso excited to be embarking on this new course in my journey! My goal is to emerge as the young business woman and entrepreneur that I see myself as already, with the knowledge to back all of my soapy smarts up! I know it won't be easy, but, I'm confident that I'm up for the challenge. Because after all, "if I believe it, I can achieve it," right Mom ;)
