Years ago, I had a business card that simply said: “Anne Pike, Human Being.” Pike is my maiden name. Human Being is the best I could come up with to describe my role in the world. I truly didn’t know what title to give myself (I was dabbling in real estate as the time), and more »
You know that one entrepreneur you admire? Yes, the one who has that super unique business… a career she totally invented, like presto bingo. You’ve never seen anything like it before, yet somehow you get it right away. Oh, and she seems so naturally self-expressed too, doesn’t she? It’s like it’s effortless for her. She more »
Looking back at my career, there were several crossroads moments when I chose a less desirable path because, at the time, it seemed easier to succeed in than the business I really wanted. I convinced myself it was a stepping stone to what I ultimately wanted to do but, in reality, it was just a more »
I often say you get to invent your reality (and career). But this concept of “manifesting” gets taken way out of context… like you have to think only positive thoughts, avoid all negative emotions, and repeat a mantra 30 times every morning and your dreams will magically come true.

My friend Anne-Sophie recently asked me: Have you ever built the wrong dream? What a sobering concept, huh? Different than dreaming “too small.” Or having a BIG dream but not being ready to go for it yet. Flat out building the wrong dream? Nobody had ever asked me that before. And as soon as she asked more »
Confession time: Do you secretly know you were born for something big? It’s an awkward thing to talk about. It’s more comfortable (and socially acceptable) to share about your flaws and shortcomings — your bad procrastination habit, that growing collection of stretch marks, how you suck at sports — than it is to fess up more »
An idea I had years ago recently re-emerged and practically smacked me in the face… See, last week, I was reflecting on my own path into entrepreneurship… That first moment when I knew I no longer had to rely on side jobs or soul-sucking day careers to pay the bills. The experience of my own business more »
“I feel like there are already people doing what I do… why would someone choose to work with me?” I hear this concern often, and I know it intimately. This one had me holding back and playing shy little ol’ me for longer than I care to admit. I didn’t want to tread on someone more »
