This is the blog of a Passionate User. I am a Passionate User of anything related to being a Joyful Entrepreneur - spirituality, business, marketing, branding, business ownership, leadership, consciousnesses, mindfulness, media, music, books, travel, women, men, couples, boys, life, mid-life, loving life, making enough money by helping people to love their business and enjoy their life!

Having a mindset of a Passionate User, a termed coined in the computer gaming industry, is so freeing. Much more freeing than feeling like I have to an expert!  Expert thoughts, expert expectations (real or imagined) - stop me in my tracks!  Being a Passionate User - I get to share, I get to discuss, I get to be passionate while on the trail learning with you.

As Joyful Entrepreneurs, we are on a new trail - unblazed, wild, adventureous, scary and exciting. (Reminds me of the movie - Last of the Mohicans!)

Ok, so my "expert gremlin" (probably funded and heavily supported by "authority gremlin")* is jumping up and down saying "Nooooooo!  Don't let them think you don't know everything!"  C'mon, we know it just isn't possible to know everything.  Especially in this new day, there's just so much to know and it changes by the nanosecond!  What's more helpful is to be curious, to be aware, and be willing to apply.

Some questions to get you started:  What's really valuable is being able to see what is working, What about it works, what doesn't work, what your vision is and what do you need to get there?

Did you get those questions?  They really work....(gratefully borrowed and lovingly used often from a book called "First Break All The Rules")

What is working?

What about it works?

What doesn't work?

What would you like it to be like? (What's your vision?)

What do you need to get it there?

And how would a Passionate User answer those questions?

Curiously,

Laura
