Failure or more patience...my internal battle.

I feel like a complete failure. Also, it's safe to say this is not another fashion post. If you're not up for a healthy dose of cerebral this Tuesday morning...stop right here. <you've been warned>

Truth is, start ups are not easy. Unlike motherhood or marriage, I generally don't find a warm hug waiting for me at the end of every rejection email. Anyone who says becoming an entrepreneur is glamorous is very mistaken. While the rewards are oh-so-sweet, the dry spells feel like deserts.

As a passionate student of social media, I can tell you it's a never ending learning curve for me. (this might explain some of it) There are so many channels to manage - each of them having a distinct purpose, audience and tone - that I've learned to really hone my craft by focusing on one a month. Now, technically, that's not possible for me anymore because I have clients to serve, but, what I do recommend is concentrating a large percentage of your efforts on one channel a month and really cutting your teeth on what's effective and what's not.
