I have too many people in my life telling me what to do…so I write, and plan, and I don’t tell them what I’m planning. It’s all mine, and I’m in control.
I heard two successful American men (Tyler Perry and Steve Harvey) saying this…don’t tell people your plans, they are sure to tell you why they won’t work.
LOVING THIS (dragon emoji)- this may not come as a surprise to you Meredith, but when people say shit like 'you can't run a small business without facebook' motivates me entirely to prove them wrong. I love the fact I can say I'm not, and never will, FB.. (lets push aside that I cross promote our dancers on Instagram apparently owned by the FB coporate pigs).. so, living in this current colonial, patriarchal world renders me as a creative woman LOADS OF THINGS I then am motivated to do (lols emoji)
I used to love social media but it's a very different space now due to the algorithms squeezing the serendipity and fun out of it, so I think a lot of us are going have to figure out how to run our ventures without relying on social media (I'm just treating it like an electronic pin board now).

Actually, I'm doing this more and more too. Like you, I get sick of people telling me what to do.

I think, when I tell people what I want to do, they feel it’s me asking them for approval.
That’s an astute observation. This may well be true…
