“I’ve just been quietly weaving my baskets under a bridge all this time.” +Kevin Spacey after winning an Oscar for The Usual Suspects.

I spend about 14 hours each day during the week working like a crazy banshee and 5 or so hours on the weekend. I’ve had loved ones threaten to hold my Blackberry hostage. Sunday and Tuesday are starting to feel the same. I’ve conducted a PR miracle while in a moving car, not driving of course. Sometimes 2:11 am is the only time I can talk to my International clients. If I’m not thinking about my little family of technology companies even when I’m sleeping well then, I’m not doing this right.

Hello, my name is Teena and I am an entrepreneur. I have no life.

Okay, maybe a little. But not much.

Just like Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption, I’ve been using this little pick for the past six months or so. Focused, tenacious and modest. A little bit every single day. Thank God I’m not lazy. But starting, running and growing a business takes dedication, a strong work ethic and who am I kidding: an obsessive personality. If I didn’t love my job and I didn’t make it my personal mission to find the right formula of PR for my clients, then I would have nothing to think about all day long. And we all know that boredom is for the small minded.

Some days, I feel like I’m running an International PR Hostel for the most interesting travelers. Other days, I just want the phone to stop ringing so I can hear myself think. Most days I’m getting results for happy clients and can’t imagine doing anything else.

Now that I’ve reached my one year goal in a mere seven months, I’m already thinking about hiring and expanding. See? I’m a true entrepreneur. Can’t just settle for success. Must. Obsess. Over. Next. Move.

When we first met, I used to think Peter Shankman was crazy. The man never slept, loved his job more than women and had more energy than anyone on earth. Including me. It’s over a decade later and I now truly understand why Peter is so successful. He does PR his own way, the right way, differently. And he never stops. People think he’s nuts and he embraces the notoriety like a warm blanket on a chilly night.

I am honored to join the ranks of the quiet basket weaving, highly motivated and successful entrepreneurs of my generation. And it’s okay if you think I’m crazy. You’re probably right.
