Do you remember being asked that question when you were growing up? It was often followed by an arched eyebrow and “young lady”.

Just who do you think you are, young lady?

And almost always it was asked when you were trying to break out of the box, think outside the box or do something out of the ordinary. Well, I’m going to ask you that question because I actually do want you to break out of the box, think outside the box or do something out of the ordinary.

Just who do you think you are? How would you truthfully answer that question?

Would you answer with your job description, such as:

I’m a doctor/lawyer/housewife/beautician/engineer.

Or would you answer the question with your role in life, such as:

I’m a wife/mother/daughter.

But even if you automatically answer the question that way, is that really the only role that defines you?

For me: I’ve got a good corporate, professional job. So do I answer with that job description even if it no longer satisfies my soul?

I can’t. I did answer the question that way in the past but not any more. It is not who I think I am.

As a way to answer that question and to find something that does satisfy my soul, I’ve been learning how to create an online business. I’ve been studying and researching and doing. And this is where the thinking outside the box comes in:

Lately, I’ve actually started to think of myself as an entrepreneur.

Kind of cool how that just snuck up on me! Many people believe that mindset is everything. Where the mind and subconscious go, the rest follows.

Just who do I think I am? I’m an entrepreneur!

Just who do you think you are?
