Episode 009: Walking Away From Entrepreneurship

Listen Later

It’s an interesting time we live in where being an entrepreneur is more coveted than being whatever your craft is. But Gary V says it best when he says entrepreneurship is glamorized. What about all the other ugly parts of entrepreneurship that no one talks about?

The daily grind for new clients? 

The overhead? 

The taxes? 

The late nights & early mornings? 

The wins & losses that are all yours, and no one else’s? 

The payroll? 

I want to talk about walking away from entrepreneurship, well, because no one else is. 

If you’re someone who has been on the fence about entrepreneurship — you’re unsure if it’s still something you want for your current season of business or if it’s worth it, I want you to ask yourself this five questions: 

  1. Why did you pursue entrepreneurship or self-employment in the first place? What was the drive or catalyst behind wanted to create your own business?
  2. Whatever your reason for starting — is it still relevant or are you in a different season of life?
  3. What are you struggling with as an entrepreneur? What are the exact factors that have you questioning this path?
  4. What’s the worst case scenario, should you choose to no longer be an entrepreneur — what do you have to lose?
  5. What’s the best case scenario, should you choose to no longer be an entrepreneur — what do you have to gain?

    6. Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone, not does it look the same for everyone, so no matter which lane you choose, be sure it’s the best fit for you, your way of operating, and your season of life.
