Alyssa Hunt is the creator of The Life Hunt, a blog aimed at motivating people to hustle toward their business and financial dreams while navigating everyday life. After running into the problem of not knowing how to balance her writing time and her job properly, she went online to get some advice, but couldn’t find any. So, she innovated and created a website dedicated to helping people chase their dreams while working full-time.
Alyssa’s idea stuck out to me. It reminded me that to be an entrepreneur, you don’t have to be making products, because she is succeeding with a website that she realized people had a need for. She’s currently running a one woman show, so she keeps a journal to write down any ideas she come up with, even if it may seem silly. I’ve seen a common occurrence of many other entrepreneurs carrying around journals. I think this is a great way to let ideas settle, so that you can revisit and look at it from multiple points of view. Another tactic she mentions is having a 30 min meeting with herself every week. This allows her to reflect on the past week and her success, but also areas of improvement. It allows her to make a realistic to-do list and to set goals for the upcoming week as well. Alyssa is very goal oriented, and I think that’s so important for an entrepreneur!
That is such an interesting idea and the fact that she incorporates the idea of reaching your goals navigating through everyday life is a great connecting point with people.
I really like this venture, because she is providing information to people where she saw and experience for herself a gap. Her approach to this is inspiring the way she uses many resources and techniques like journaling, 30 minute meetings, and to-do lists!
The story behind Alyssa’s business is inspiring because she was able to build a business around sharing knowledge, rather than physical products, with people. I think carrying around a journal would be a great way to cultivate an innovative mindset, since it allows people to keep track of seemingly random ideas.
It definitely can be hard balancing everyday life with your business. It’s very interesting to see how Alyssa was able to create website that helps others who may have similar problems based on her own problem. Alyssa inspires many people to try and create services that will help others in need.
