Every Entrepreneur Needs Support

in Project HOPE4 years ago

I know that I and other intelligent writers on this great platform especially on project.hope have written very extensively on the need for entrepreneurs to pursue their goals, on the way to meet investors and other things that entrepreneurs have to do in order to attain success but today, I want to address those who may not chose the entrepreneurial path but have intending entrepreneurs around them.

It is not possible for everyone to become entrepreneurs, and it is good to realize what we want to do early enough in life and choose between becoming an entrepreneur and working under someone else, the problem most young entrepreneurs regularly face is coming from a family where there are no entrepreneurs or a family where someone has failed in the journey of being an entrepreneur.

It is no news that young start-up entrepreneurs need all the support they can get at the beginning of their business and if they fail to get that support, they may eventually break down and lose out on making anything good from their business idea.

Below is the story of one of my friends uncle and he is the motivation behind this post, as the last child of a family that is not too wealthy, he was the one with the most opportunity of obtaining formal education, his brothers and sisters supported him until he acquired his educational certificate. After college, he tried to get a job but every company he visited required that he had some years of experience at an almost frustrated point, he ran to his supportive siblings to loan him some money to start a business but they did not want him to do that, their reason for spending so much on his education was for him to work in some sort of big companies, according to them business was for people who had no educational certificate so they were ready to continue taking care of him until he had a good job.

Broken, he continued his job hunt and after two years he finally gave up on the job search, this time he was more than determined that his business idea was going to yield a good result, the discouragement from his family members was much but he decided to keep the faith in himself up. After twelve months into the business, he started to see beautiful differences which put laughter on his face and despite the fact that his family did not support his business venture he could not ignore them, so he told them about his success.

With time it gradually turned into a family business because as a token of appreciation, he had to employ some of them, he felt he could trust his family so he had no problem with leaving the affairs of the company in their hands. Unfortunately the family members knew close to nothing about business and they eventually ruined the whole business.

The most annoying part of the story is that, rather than accepting they are the cause of the misfortune that has befallen the business, this young man was blamed for everything and according to the family members, if he had listened to their warnings about starting a business he would have not gotten himself entangled in such drama, the failed business was enough to damage his soul but constant nagging from those who had stupidly destroyed what he had worked for was too much for him to bear so he took his own life.

Such a sad way to end a promising life but his story taught me personal lessons and I hope it does to my amazing readers also. Even if you are not a business type, you need to support anyone around you who may love to choose that path.

Sort:  

The truth is that I think when you have a business the best thing is to have your family as far away as possible and not involve them and if you are going to make them more aware of everything, I think it was partly his fault for leaving everything at the mercy of his family, if he saw that things were not going well he should take other measures and change staff or equipment. That's the way business is!

If only he had taken those preventive measures, he might still be alive till date but the story is shared so others can also learn from it, cheers friend.

Business is as much about learning as anything. I think a key fail point is isolating the operational environment.

Assets

  • me
  • my crypto
  • select partners
  • maybe some non-virtual stuff

    Liabilities

  • fiat stuff
  • my party_crypto (for family and friends)


Well sometimes the fiat world comes up with neat stuff and sometimes those leisure conversations turn into something wonderful.

This is a good guide, thanks for the share buddy.

This is an heart breaking story, I really wish he had taken the caution to prevent the sad occurrence.

He has a good heart to have taught about employing his family who did not support him at first and then to be betrayed by them at the end of the day shows us that we should not make the similar mistake he made.

I think so also but unfortunately his good heart got him into trouble and the story ended on a sad note.
