Summary

    <p>As an independent, a full time indie-entrepreneur, a maker of things that sell, a creator of my own wealth, a designer of my own creativity over time, I feel a strong call to do more things my way for the results I want. Which, for many of us, seems to beg this question: **can you give more of yourself over to being a creator?** Often times I hear it referred to as *“pursuing completely”* — like, how completely are you pursuing your thing? I think this plays solidly into that dream of being an artist who abandons herself to her work. Like, many of us really, if we’re honest, feel like we should have that kind of abandon, conviction, sold-out-ness to the thing we’re pursuing. Right? **BUT, what if pursuing that thing is putting other things in our life in jeopardy? ** What if we want to pursue our blogging more *completely*, BUT our blogging isn’t contributing to our financial needs yet. We want to give blogging more time because maybe that’s what’s necessary for us to even get to a place where we can generate revenue, BUT, spending more time there may take away from the job that IS earning us revenue, or our family or other relationships that might be good for us to keep in tact as well. **So, today we are going to talk about this:** how much are you pursuing your thing *AND* how much *SHOULD ANY OF US* pursue our thing? Should we leap with abandon and trust the universe and the intention of our hearts to construct the solution in real time? Or does being cautious really give us a better chance at success?

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Fizzle Show.
0:09.3	All right.
0:12.9	That's right, everybody.
0:13.9	It's time for your Billion Dose Weekly of Entrepreneurial Inspiration.
0:19.2	It's time to get into the scrum. It's time to put your
0:23.5	ideas on the whiteboard and it is time, ladies and gentlemen to capture your ideas. That's so silly.
0:30.0	That's ridiculous. Hi, I'm Chase Reeves and this is the Fizzle show where every week we talk about
0:35.4	doing something we care about and making a living from it.
0:38.7	Both things, okay?
0:40.5	Yes, you need a little of your heart to survive, guys.
0:43.5	You can't, you do.
0:44.6	It's probably why you hate your job so much because you're not allowing any of your heart to be involved
0:47.7	because they don't want it.
0:49.0	They just want you to be efficient, and you know you're more than that.
0:51.9	But at the same time, you do need to be efficient and earn some revenue and stuff, right? You do actually need to put the bread on the table. We all have that requirement of us. And if we don't ski on both of those skis, we have one dominant leg too much. If we're too efficient or if we're too hardy, the whole thing falls
1:12.4	apart. And so it's about this balance between the things and that's what we do here at the
1:16.3	Fizzle show, talking specifically to what we call indie entrepreneurs. No matter where you are
1:22.3	on the process, you could be just dreaming about doing their own thing, still an indie entrepreneur,
1:27.9	even though you're maybe resonate more of the one entrepreneur, right?
1:31.2	You're in the bleachers, you're watching the game.
1:32.8	But then there's like, you know, your Farm League, your Beer League,
1:36.4	right?
