Why the hell not?

It’s the title of a book I want to write.  It’s also a question I regularly ask myself, about… – well, lots of things. And it happens to be a common phrase I use with my friends. I like the stance it takes. The challenge it insinuates and the reaction it usually gets - Yeah! Why not?

Not that long ago, I asked myself a question. “What if you set up shop and worked for yourself?” I immediately dismissed the idea. What, who, how, why, when, – there were far too many questions flooding in and no one to square off, look me in the eye and say – “no seriously, why the hell not?” And I know I definitely wasn’t getting round to that question any time soon.

It wasn’t a week if it was a day that I nipped into Waterstone’s <England’s answer to Chapters> to get my regular fix of non-fiction. Coffee in hand, I wandered the business section skimming the business books.  It struck me then and there – the profile of an entrepreneur and the profile of an employee are two very different things.  Two different mindsets – I quickly calculated the summary for each… it was clear. I wore the entrepreneur hat.

So, what if I started my own gig and opened up shop? –  I could instantly hear my usual, “why the hell not?” response, and the rest is history! HAH!

I’m very excited and hard at work behind the scenes to bring the dream to life – a socially responsible media group… effecting positive change in real world situations… or something like that   :P

I’m actively looking to connect with other brilliant minds in the industry to refer to, forge an alliance with or work alongside – if you know me, then you know I only ever engage in a win-win offer. Interested? Start the conversation with me here: linkedin, twitter or shannon@shannonboudjema.com
