The Entrepreneurial Life of Stephen Mitchell
Writing About My Life, Work, Creativity, and the Daily Effort to Learn, Grow, and Be Better.
It’s a strange comfort, isn’t it? Living in a time where you can speak your thoughts out loud - messy, meandering, unfiltered - and have them typed out for you in seconds. No more scribbling on napkins or searching for pens that don’t work. You just speak, and there it is. Your truth, staring back... Continue Reading →
It sometimes seems so easy to say "I got this." I read the post below - and realised I still have more to do to fix and find myself. https://iceprincess7770.wordpress.com/2024/11/23/self-compassion/
Sometimes I catch myself mid-conversation realising I’ve veered off course, lost momentum, or just plain confused the poor bugger trying to keep up. Whether I’m rambling, mumbling, or being a bit too clever with my words, I know I’m not alone. We all have our quirks when we speak. While some habits are better off... Continue Reading →

This is going to be a journey filled with confusion, cultural curve-balls, and the occasional case of mutual head-scratching. While I’ve... Continue Reading →
I have found a question that needs a longer answer than just a few words: Daily writing promptWhat do you think gets better with age?View all responses I’ve lived enough years now to see the truth behind the old saying: Some things really do get better with age. Here’s what I’ve found actually gets better... Continue Reading →
I’ve lived most of my life believing things happen because we either make them happen or we learn to deal with them when they don’t. Cause and effect. Effort and consequence. But lately… I’ve been noticing things. Not changes, just seemingly unrelated events that seem to echo each other just enough to make me pause.... Continue Reading →
This post was sparked by a friend's recent question on Facebook. She asked, “Anyone else have NOTHING saved to their start menu and NOTHING on their desktop?” Turns out, she’s the lone digital minimalist in her office. Everyone else? Desktop icons galore, random files everywhere, and not a clue about proper directory structure. How to... Continue Reading →
