Common Misconceptions About Being an Entrepreneur
Common Misconceptions About Being an Entrepreneur
Thereโs been a huge shift in entrepreneurship in the last 50 years โ and also in the last 10 to 15 years.
Being an entrepreneur has become the โcoolโ thing to do. Weโve โcelebritizedโ it in a way.
We see all these different pictures of people with yachts, private jets, driving their new Bugatti, etcโฆ we see reality TV like the Kardashians showing people โliving the life.โ
But with these shows, we never see what an entrepreneur is actually doing day in and out.
We donโt see the entrepreneur working 18-hour days, trying to pay their bills. We donโt see them borrowing money, trying to keep their company moving forward. We donโt see them rehabbing their new product or service, because customers are returning what they bought.
We donโt see them hiring, firing employees, people quitting or not showing up to work.
We donโt see the personal problems many entrepreneurs have behind the scenes โ like their family hasnโt seen them in six months. Or theyโre dealing with overwhelm, depression, binge-drinking, or doing drugs.
Thereโs a lot of negative shit that comes out of being an entrepreneur that people donโt realize.
Some people go into business with some kind of dream or idea about what they want to experience. The dream is unique to each person. But once they get into business, it becomes like a monster taking over. They donโt know how to control it, tame it, or get the monster moving in one direction.
Starting a business can either lead to personal freedom โ or your own personal prison.
We need to ask ourselves a variety of questions about what to do when we start a business โ so that we donโt end up creating a giant โjobโ for ourselves that we donโt even like. Thatโs what turns a business into a prison, rather than freedom.
Many people who start a business should really think about all of this beforehand.
So let me ask you somethingโฆ if youโre in business, does it give you freedom, or do you feel like a prisoner?
If it feels like a prison, ask yourself what you are resisting being, doing or having that would shift things to provide you more personal freedom.
