RE: Born to be an Entrepreneur

in #freedom6 years ago

@tressareid Enjoyed reading your post. I do feel the idea of Entrepreneurship has been overrated. Allow me to explain what I mean. When I first came across this concept, it sounded all fancy. Be the CEO of your co., have people working for you. And you get to enjoy financial freedom at some point, get more time with your family, and all that stuff which we hear over and over.

But after a few amateur attempts at it, and the lessons I learned through failing. I found that you if you fall in love with the "idea" of entrepreneurship, you're in trouble.

Entrepreneurship is a byproduct, of wanting to become a producer in the world. And the desire has to be so strong, that you are willing to work harder, and longer than you normally would, don't care whether you have to do another job to support your desire to become an independent creator.

And keep doing it for long enough, basically, failure is not an option for the true entrepreneur, because they didn't choose the fancy idea, but because they can't help but share their gift with the world.

And when you do that for long enough, your creation acquires value, enough to sustain a better livelihood than the average guy can afford.

If you go chasing entrepreneurship for its hyped up benefits, you're in for a loss.

And yes, sometimes you will doubt your own gifts, you will question yourself, and in spite of all that, you will still persist.

I could go on, but I will rest my case here.

Cheers to true entrepreneurship, the one without fancy ideas. Upvoted!

I totally agree with you on the fancy "idea" of entrepreneurship. I too, had my few "amateur attempts" for the wrong reasons.

This is really well explained, a byproduct is a great word to describe it.

Through my failures and eagerness to learn, it always comes down to following the passion.

Thanks so much for adding this great point to the topic of entrepreneurship. It has so much truth and I couldn't agree more.

I am glad you found it of value. Cheers!
