Yesterday, I had a well-paying job and felt like an "intrapreneur", or as Investopedia defnines it, "an inside entrepreneur". Yesterday was about a year and a half ago now.

Today, I am an entrepreneur. In the renewable energy, clean water and improved agriculture nexus. Entrepreneur is a word which encompasses many emotional states. It's thrilling, because we've developed an offering which will provide so much value to our clients that it literally sells itself. It's scary, because it's outside the norm of what financiers are used to and comfortable with financing, so we're having to self-finance at least until we have feasibility studies which demonstrate the total amazing-ness of our solutions...at which point we expect to attract both traditional and non-traditional sources of finance to our solutions. More on that in the months to come. And it's incredibly fulfilling to work with the best of the best, all aligned around our vision of making the world a better place. Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, there is a blockchain aspect to this.

Here's a closeup of today:

Tomorrow - who knows. The plan is to have changed at least a little part of the world for the better. Watch this space.

To be an entrepreneur is not easy at all. To start your own business require a lot of hard work, sleepless nights. Unstoppable efforts and in the start you may fail but future is bright if you don't stop

I think our tomorrow should be better than the yesterday. It shows how we are improving and our progress towards the betterment. Even if we get failed for some reason in the past we shouldn't give up and keep continuing towards our destination.

Spot on, @shainaaltaf! Keep pushing for a better tomorrow!

Yesterday was about a year and a half ago now.

this thing tells us that how passionate you are for your work and that's the key of your success, my prayers are always with you mam.

May she got success in this work, Aamen.

Thank you so much, @humzafida. I've learned a lot about how to change direction while still aiming to strike the goal in the last year and a half. Your kind words mean a lot to me.

Oh my God, it's you @kiligirl after so long, where were you? It's so niceto see you back again and I'm really happy that you are an intrapreneur now.

Hi @aliraxa, it's you after so long! I was trying to let my elbow heal entirely, and of course life crept into that place that Steemit used to occupy. I now have a happy elbow and am looking forward to reconnecting with Steemians like you :-).

Haha, it's so nice and pleasure to be linked with you in start of steemit, and your words are still so lively and full of energy I'm literally feeling great that you're back here 😍

When you start with a business hard times are the friends. They will try to weaken you and will make you not go up. It demands strong determination and hours of hard work to strengthen your business. But once you have faced all these things you will meet peace of mind.
