Your Everyday Entrepreneur: Pamela Slim

I’ll admit, I’m a Pamela Slim fan.  Why? Because I got to meet her personally.  I got to see that what she states on her blog Escape from Cublic Nation and in her Twitter Feed (@pamslim) and everywhere else I have read about her is exactly what she lives day in and day out. I respect and am attracted to that in entrepreneurs. On top of that, I love seeing where she has come in her professional career and where she has gotten.

Consider her your “recovering entrepreneur.”  I believe we were all born with the ability and desire in so many ways to create our own destinies, but some of us get caught up in a false belief that we have to work for someone else to succeed rather than being able to make it on our own. Pamela is that very person who started there, but learned to break away. After leaving her wonderful corporate job at Barclay’s Global Investors, she found herself in what is commonly the position of most corporate robots turned entrepreneurs, an outsourced contractor to those same large corporations! But Pamela was able to convert those experiences into a wonderful consulting practice called Ganas Consulting.  She has shown how true passion and effort can lead you to create something that not only supports you financially but fulfills you emotionally, mentally, physically, and for some of us spiritually!

What I really love is that the way she speaks, writes, coaches, and interacts is consistent with who she really is as a person.  Remember that entrepreneurs!  Stay true to yourself and your passions, and most of your business will come naturally to you. That is… MOST of your business!
