A little about me & life as an entrepreneur

DSC_9164-Edit.jpg

Hey all,

Thanks so much for keeping up with my posts so far. They've been brief as I've gotten the swing of Steem. Up until now the most you've seen from me is snippets from my Cats in Hats Emoji keyboard which is one of my fav projects.

A little bit about me is that I'm a not so recent graduate from the University of British Columbia in Canada and studied economics. Despite choosing a safer and more traditional path of study I've done nothing but role the dice with my career since.

Life as an entrepreneur has offered some high points and low points but I have to say you get used to them. Moving more into the tech world ie Steemit and App building I'm hoping will help stabilize my career/life style. Right now I have this need to travel that causes all sorts of ripple effects in my businesses and relationships. I figure if I have all of my work online then my life won't be tied to flying away when I can and flying back when I need to work.

One of the things I'm most excited about with Steem is that you guys will be with me on all my adventures and I can keep you posted on how life on Steem and my apps are going.

To get everyone on the same page I have 3 apps in the Apple app store right now, search Kerri Kinna in the app store to see what I'm up to, and I'm off to Costa Rica in 8 days! Yay!

Excited to keep everyone in the loop <3 <3

Sort:  

I think I got some inspiration :p For very long time I was planning how I could travel as well as keep care of my finances. Currently I am a computer science student so I might start doing something like developing apps as a freelancer and travel world or who knows I will be able to support myself through steemit.

Being your own boss is the path to freedom :)

Absolutely. Gotta stick with it though. Consistency is the key ;)

Hi Kerri, I think STEEMIT is going to liberate you and give you the wings to travel and work simultaneously. Have a great time in Costa Rica the wildlife is meant to be stunning - will follow your travel posts if you intend to post? And hopefully you can earn some STEEM on the way......

Hi cryptocurator, I've found Steem to be really supportive since I joined. Everyone is so interactive and supportive. I love it! I do plan to post my travels. I used to have a travel blog but I hosted my own URL and it was mostly just friends and family who followed it. It was nice to have people I care about know who I am but they it got expensive to host. I owe a fellow Steemian a post of me surfing so I'll be sure to get that one up ASAP.
Thank again for your reply. Makes life more fun :)

Waow this is one my plans to travel far away.. May I join you i think you need somebody to take some photos of you :)

hi hi :) I see some photos of Rome on your blog, is that where you live? Hopefully we will meet one day :D

ahah noo you are confusing me or my photos with somebody I guess :) I shared one for istanbul and one for berlin but tomorrow I am gonna share one more for 3-4 days and I choose the city right now it is Rome. You said well :)

Oh I see now in the comments that it is Berlin. I'd love to go there. It's been on my list for awhile now. I love Rome <3 It's one of my fav cities in the world. I live on the west coast of Canada though so I'm very far away. Your pics are very good. Looking forward to seeing Rome.

Thank you very much and nice to meet you happy to gain a friend:) Keep looking i will share some traditional foods also in my own dinner table :) I heard that Prag is also very beautiful city you may add this on your list. I will Prag's photo next days:)

Yummy, looking forward to those pics! Feel free to tag me in the comment field.. not sure how to get around Steem all to well yet. I've also heard this about Prague..one day...

How nice for you... I am trying my best to make my life better day by day.

Hi there :) thanks for your post. Absolutely, keep doing what you're doing. We're all on the same team.

keep up the good work, if it lets you go where you want and do what you want then you are doing something right!

hi there :) It does let me do what I want to do and go where I want but unfortunately it didn't let me sleep for a few years! Starting and stopping is super hard for me. I'm hoping if I can keep my online businesses flowing no matter where I am I'll have less of the stress that comes with trying to pick up where I left off... we'll see how it goes....

Entrepreneurship is the best thing a person can do,if he can do it of course.
I really love people who try to make their life better by working hard and being the CEO's of their own.
Great content,keep it going.

Thanks! It's been about 4.5 years since I bought my first business. Getting off the ground is def the hardest. Thanks again for your comment. I've followed you so hopefully we can keep up with one another :)

thanks for sharing dear keep it Up Good work.

thanks for your reply, nice to meet you :D

great post, entrepreneurship is very important for specially women's.

I agree. It's exciting to see a womens entrepreneur movement but we still need more. Thanks for your comment I appreciate the support.

Very good, Cota Rica is great, if you can take a tour of its jungle you will enjoy it, I hope to see many photos of that trip, I gave you my vote and I will also be your follower, it is the way to support us in this great family and I am sure you would have done the same, thanks for sharing your post

Hi there, I'll def take a trip of the jungle and take lots of pics! I'll be sure to post as much as I can. I've followed you back so make sure you post as well :) I'll take a look at your blog now.
Have a great day!

Pleasant surprise of your answer @economistkerri, of course I will be aware, at this moment I do not have material to publish but I will do it, I have to visit my parents and I will take some photos, since in the middle of February I will travel to New York for a while and I will try to document what is lived is seen and eaten in the big apple, I thank you very much that you take the trouble to visit me I am very grateful and we must continue in this great family

I feel like that too sometimes... nothing to publish... I checked out your blog and you have great stuff there. Looking forward to your next post. I love New York :) Have you been before?

No, it's my first time, I wanted to travel in December but the cold is very strong and I'm from a tropical country so I decided to wait a little longer, that's why I'll travel that date, and if you know it

I think it's very cold in February as well. I visited the city then and it was so cool to see that New Yorkers aren't affected by the cold weather. It truly is the city that never sleeps, whether it's WAY TO HOT or WAY TO COLD

I am about to live this experience, I hope to have material to publish and share with you

Enjoy your holiday can't wait to see your pictures!

Thanks! I'll be sure to post as many as I can :D

welcome, nice having you...

I love the sentiments, I totally hear you on the community and am glad you feel you are getting ahead on the learning curve. I too am a sucker for economics, mainly why people do what they do and what they feel is important. I would love for you to take look a few of my posts, not necessarily for the sake of voting but for the feedback and conversation. I always love to hear what those with a different background have to share about my thoughts as well. Keep the great work, best of luck, Sincerely, @cryptkeeper17.

Thanks for your reply. "A sucker for economics" ha, that's so well said. I'm forever pooling data while people are in conversation hehe. I use my data sets in all different parts of my life. I try to leave it out of my love life, but hey numbers never lie and probabilities can give you some good insight on what's to come. ANYWAYS I'll check out your page for sure :)

Great, I followed you and will be curious to what else you have coming up for posts. Since the crashes of 2008 it has been absolutely intriguing to me. Just the people losing their minds on financial message boards (don't ever go on them unless you are in a really self loathing mood by the way) for the individual equities, commodities, you name it. I didn't like that people were so nervous, and emotional about it, but just by having radical daily swings on the DOW, and people forgetting about value and running for the exits to safety. Ha, ha kind of like what happens here with the bi-polar prices in the crypto markets, pretty much every day. Economics/entrepreneurial driven are both great endeavors within this steemit platform. Finding value, creating value, improving value, I try to be in those businesses as well.

Thanks for the tip to stay away from message boards. I'm not really one for self loathing- gotta keep moving forward. I've always been into more of the technical side than the trading side. I'm more interested in the platforms people trade on or tools they use than the trading itself. That's why I got into building apps. The apps I have out right now I built for fun to learn the process, they're not so much my end game but I do need them to make some $$. Those bi-polar swings...haha... sounds a bit like my life but I try not to have my businesses reflect that!

Well lucky for you steemit is dying for people that can design apps that are compatible. You can't be that bi-polar, you have managed to carry on a conversation online for over 30 minutes without having anything too crazy happening. Continue the great work on here, don't sweat the little things too much, best of luck, keep killing it on here. Sincerely, @cryptkeeper17

Oh really? Thanks for the tip! I'll keep an eye open for any way I can help or collaborate. Meh I have my ups and downs but nothing serious by any means. I feel bad for using the term bi-polar so incorrectly. People definitely struggle with emotional tides... I have my moments and tough times but nothing compared to what some people deal with.

Hi @economistkerri. In addition to being an entrepreneur you will be a great person at Steemit. I am also a businessman and my ideals can be a great entrepreneur. If I'm already great, I would bring a camera to accompany you traveling. 👍😃

Hi there, thanks for your comment. I checked out your page and it's cool the posts you re-steem. I'll try to re-steem a post today and see how it goes. I'm sure we'll cross paths one day ;)

You got me at 'traveling and adventures'.

There is nothing like living life to the fullest.
As for love and stability, it will definitely come when YOU are ready.

♥ ♥ ♥

Can't stop, won't stop- when it comes to adventures...

I'm definitely on the cusp of stability.... the love part... well... I'm leaving that one up to fate ;)

Being your own boss is what every right-thinking person with ambition will always aspire to achieve. So I say congratulations to you. I follow and upvote you.

Hi @comrade thanks for the follow and the comment again. It is stressful, but worth it. I've always had a hard time in traditional settings ie arrive at this time, leave at this time, only say this, or only say that.... so it's nice to run with what I'm good at instead of being what I'm told to be!

wow. you're having so much fun while earning from it. The Good life...

I'm trying anyways! But like I said... it's been a roller coaster... and a bit too much to handle. Hoping this next chapter allows for a bit less anxiety and a bit more relax time. I'll be sure to keep everyone posted.

i enjoy your post ^^! Thanks.
