Every great fan club needs a name for its fans, right?

I`m torn between Stell`s Angels and Stellanistas...

It`s at a time like this that you have to ask yourself, "What Would Stella Do? Well Punk? Do you feel lucky?..."

Oh wait... sorry, two different concepts colliding...

...or are they????

Hey Ross - same dilemma here. And those two choices perfectly sum up the essence of the entrepreneurial spirit - part rebel, part revolutionary.

As long as Startup Nation keeps the poll up.
I don`t know whether it was Al Capone or Joel who said, "Vote early and vote often!"

run a house, a family and my new biz

Description:

First of all, me:

My name is Stella. I have a husband, who grudgingly supports this crazy journey to build my own business. I also have a son and a daughter who would support me even if I opened up a ski shop in the Mojave.

I find myself surrounded by weird and wonderful (some are just weird) people who continue to help me build my business from dream to reality.

And my story:

I worked for ten years in the marketing department of a ridiculously large corporation.

It started out okay; but, over time, I started to notice a couple things. When I began my career, I couldn’t wait to get to work. After a few years, I couldn’t wait to get home.

I used to write real creative stuff—ad copy and commercials for television. All of the sudden, I was writing inconceivably long and tedious account status reports and time tracking projections. I went from thinking, “Where did the time go?” to watching the clock and savoring each day I turned the page of my daily planner. Eventually, I found myself writing little notes on each page—little observations about work and a couple of cheers to help me hang in there.That’s when it hit me: make a calendar for people who are spending time at life, not spending time at work!

I designed this calendar for people who are brave enough, or just plain crazy enough, to leap into creating a home business career… people like me. I spent 10 years as an exhibit in the corporate cubicle zoo before I escaped and became the CEO of a corporation of one (except when I can con my kids into helping me out).

The rest is history! Or will be soon.

My hope is to help you love what you do, laugh a lot, tough it out, and as my friends at SartupNation say, START IT UP!
