The Tenth Day of Christmas: Ten Pipers Piping

Today I helped someone get excited about their dream again. 

I met with a girl I know through twitter (and LinkedIn) who has been releasing videos for her organization.  She has just started, and the video content is really amazing, but it wasn't clear to me what her business plan was.  So, like a true freelancing guru, I said I would be willing to help, on a freelance basis.

We talked about how she should organize her rebranding, the kind of products and services that she wants to offer, and how to reach her target audiences.  At the end of the hour we spent together, she put her head in her hands, and groaned, "I have so much work to do!"


I replied that the way of the entrepreneur is hard.  Really hard. I think the best lesson I learned today is that I got to make a real friend, and a real sort of business connection at the same time.  It's fun to offer your time.  And in the end, I think she felt better about what she wanted for her organization.
