No Way in Hell My Longtime Girlfriends Will Watch This…
Do you have friends who still don’t get what you do? Me too! Unless my friends are also entrepreneurs, they’re clueless about how we think! I still love them, but I NEED my entrepreneurial tribe!
We need to stick together. Visit my new Sterling Plus Mastermind group and see what I mean!

Hello Lorrie, I have been following you on Twitter and decided to do some reading today! Glad I finally made it on your blog! Great stuff. I had to laugh about how friends, family and the closest of friends just don’t get what you do. I have been doing this for over 15 (self employed) and they still don’t get it. It is a mind set absolutely. I wouldn’t trade my job in for anything else in the world. I will be visiting your Sterling plus mastermind group I just wanted to say hello and thanks

Hi Lorrie,
I’ve got your back! It really is interesting how nobody gets it. I’ve had that same complaint for a very long time. You could ask any of my closest friends what I do, how and why…and they wouldn’t be able to tell you. It’s bizarre, it’s like a mental block…a belief system that will not allow them to look at it from any other perspective aside from their existing which always seems to result in a very negative point of view. It’s unfortunate because naturally you expect the support of those closest to you to be a given, but because we are out of the box, that is the fabric of what makes us, us. Just as you are a risk taker and able to survive in a society that demands constant security and certainty…you must carry on as the fearless leader that you are. We all must. Remember 98% of the world are the sheep, only 2% are the entrepreneurs/herders. It’s up to us to blaze the trail and set the standard…maybe someday they will get it, maybe someday they’ll join the pursuit. Good luck!
