The inspiration for this effort is born out of curiosity. As I grow, I wonder what impact I've been able to make on the world.
I'm grown and have a decent job. I'm able to pay the bills and keep a little food in the fridge. I haven't made a dent yet, and I'm curious if I will. I watched my grandfather, a humble man from Alabama with a third grade education, start several businesses and reach heights he didn't think he could, simple because he wouldn't stop.
I find myself in a world that has begun to move towards shunning the concept of trying and failing, but always learning at the individual level. There are classes, and papers, and even books published on the same approach at the organizational level. About how industries should embrace the concept of trying new things, of ever evolving, of learning from failure and trying again. Still, it's looked down upon at the individual level most times.
This is simply an attempt at succeeding on my on terms. To try and learn, failure be damned. I've already learned a lot about setting up a shop on Shopify and creating content. I'm certainly not done, but this shop is real. It's actualized because I wanted to see if I could and I wouldn't stop until I did. Somewhere, my grandfather, now gone, is smiling about that. I'll guarantee it. I can hear his laughter and his prompting, "Now what are you going to do with it? Make it bigger. Try this. It's cool. Just remember, you can do it."
It is these last words that stick. He never felt stupid, just undeducated. "Ignorance is easy to fix, if you're willing to ask enough questions or worry about looking silly", he once told me. I've tried to be fearless in my life and career with a willingness to ask genuine questions, even if I thought I'd look silly for it, if there was a possibility of learning something.
Welcome to the journey that is Uncertaintees.co We'll ask some questions. We'll challenge some conventional thoght. We'll grow.
