Hi there!! How are you?

So today I will share with you why I think entrepreneurship is not for everybody.

The Reality

Well, I'm not the best model. I'm 23 years old and I don't achieve any type of success yet. But I think I already can say "entrepreneurship is not for everybody".

The people just show what they want to show. It's very VERY hard to build a startup. We are always with issues, we need to say "no" to parties, social life, comfort and a punch of other thinks. 

Yes, after the bad times, the "fame", money, and other great think may come, but what about the beginning? Well, in the beginning, is a piece of shit. 

The Dichotomy Between THINK And DO 

@ricardocardoso wrote a great article on this topic. Everybody can have great ideas and usually, everybody wants to be more than already is. For me an entrepreneur is someone DO more and "think" less. 

An entrepreneur is someone ready to give up on the comfort, the certainty. It's someone ready to give up about a simple and peaceful life.

I really believe in this words. So for me, it's impossible saying "entrepreneurship is for everyone". I don't know a lot of people capable to give up of a peaceful life.

When I think in myself I don't know if entrepreneurship is for me. It's really hard to do this all the time. Sometimes, I just want to be on the bed watching Bleach or other shit like that.

Say No For What You Love

Like I said. If you think entrepreneurship is for you, you need to be ready to say "no" for your friends, for your PlayStation, Girlfriend, Parties, Tranquility, and so on...

If you can truly say I'm ready for entrepreneurship knowing all about this I really want to meet you better. Because I would like to understand how you think, what is your dreams and how can you be sure. I'm very curious about you! :)

The Ambition Need To Be Your Best Friend

I consider myself a ambitions guy. I'm in the last year of Marketing and Advertising and I'm helping to build Eddisrupt. But I'm thinking that really hard days are coming. 

We (I and Pedro) have the ambition to democratize the technological creation. So we build the first Bootcamp teaching the MEAN stack in Portugal. It's been a spectacular adventure! But equally tiring. 

In the last 2 weeks, I slept 4 hours a day. Why? Well, like I said, I'm a university student and an entrepreneur wannabe. So I need to split my time, energy and mental power. For me, it is a really hard task :/

You Need Like To Be Alone

In the begin is something really hard. Well, maybe other people are better than me in this eheh

But I lost my girlfriend when I decide to be an entrepreneur. It was one of the most difficult decisions of my life. Because when I decided this I knew that I was not able to take the time she needed.

The reason is I needed and need to learn a lot of stuff to achieve my objectives. I need to improve my social skills, improve my English, learn how to code, complete the course and a lot of other things...

Conclusion

I really don't believe that most of the people can do all that I said. At the moment, I don't know if I can do it too xb

If you read my last article "What Did I Learn From My Father's Mistakes In Business" you know that my father failed in this task. So I'm afraid I'm not ready to do this kind of entrepreneur life like the majority of the people.

All I said is just what I feel. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe You have better answers. If you have, please, share with me. I'd love to hear your opinion on the topic. So don't be shy! :)
