Hi there,
I don't know why again I make this article. Perhaps this comes from my own experience and everything around me.
When we decided we would do something for yourself, like: generate more income, helping more people, save time, be more contribution to the community around you. Then you see there must be something, somehow you need to walk on your own step.
I did not know how hard it was. Then I learnt, I explored, I asked business or owner, anyone, I can think of. And? They are just smiling, giggling. They might want to tell me something.. I know deep down something that they hare already been they see their image in me and for a newbie, of course, understandable feeling.
Similarly, when your children ask you something like: "Dad, what would it like when I grow up... do I have to work...? I want to be like you etc.."
I realize, being an entrepreneur just not a way to generate wealth or money or lifestyle for me it is a foundation to achieve my mission. So that, nothing wrong to go with it and I have to be well-prepared, pay more, pay fast pay a lot upfront.
But the thing hit me hardest is the loneliness, even more, hurtful when we found like-minded people or network. End of the day, we are just it. A crazy man with a crazy ambition. No-one cares, no-one, understands.
You tell me, how can you pass over that? The answer is NO, you can't. But you have to keep going, doing actions even you don't trust or don't see the result yet!
And that to me the success. The process is a success. Because if you stop, you won't go further to your goals or your destination.
Now, sitting with a long task list and works to be done, I feel difficult. But and but, I smile at it, I have made the choice then always, I can give up or I keep moving. One thing I learn the best is that we are human, we have bad or we have good things and we have the ability to adapt to anything, we can learn and adjust. In another way, why don't turn the negative answer to the 'How' question? Some ordinary sentences like: "I can't do that. I don't have that ability. I don't know" to "How can I do that? How can I gain that ability? or What could I research to know it"
Anyway, after a long loop, we are back to step 0.
However this time you are more mature and you know the 'why', the purpose of your mission.
You did not do it for yourself, for other, for a better place, a better world.
And the moment to care enough, that, the moment you deserve to anything you want.
Not too many can do it, and because of the price, the pain, the long dead, dark lonely or perhaps not their life call that why it is better for them to have a normal life. Nothing wrong with that. However, does not mean you working toward your goal, your crazy ambition and you are better than others. Absolutely NOT. Be better in yourself, happy with what you have and always grow in what you believe. That is true entrepreneurship.
To conclusion, whatever you do: the path or the journey to be better is the hard path and unfortunately, that is the ONLY path. If you don't move on it, then you stop or move backwards and destroyed.
A tree if don't grow, so the dead will happen. The only way that is growing.
I wish you a very best believing in yourself, on whatever you do. Success in your heart the result you would like is the one you live with.
Definition of entrepreneurship is "A seed must die to grow a tree"
Happy entrepreneuring!
Much love,
