Let’s talk about being multi-faceted. Recently, a female friend and fellow entrepreneur asked me a thought-provoking question: “What am I? A window blind person or employee benefits person?” It caught me off guard and it made me reflect deeply. The answer, of course, is Entrepreneur.
Why did she ask? Perhaps because I’m a woman, and stereotypes still linger about what women can or can’t do in business. But as I thought more about it, I realized there are countless examples of entrepreneurs who thrive in multiple roles:
- Take HR managers who consult and teach simultaneously. Are they consultants or teachers?
- Then there’s Elon Musk—how many businesses does he own? It’s hard to keep track.
- A computer repair technician, who also manages several rental properties. Is he a technician expert or a landlord?
- What about people who own a business and volunteer their expertise to a charity? Do they own a business or philanthropist?
The list goes on. Personally, I love running both of my businesses. It’s exhilarating to work with talented people, and the challenges have helped me grow immensely.
So, what am I? Proudly, I Am an Entrepreneur.
