Why you need to start a business
Why people are scared to start..
Failing
Going broke
Living uncomfortably
Disappointing loved ones
Not living up to your own expectations
Everyone wants to start their own venture at some point, but only a few have the balls to actually do it
1. You will delete the “what-ifs” in your life
Most of us are passionate about something
If were talented enough at this passion then surely you’d want to turn it into a career
But competition is fierce
The market is tough
Finances are tight
So everyone sticks to the 9-5 because its safe and secure
What if your job is boring
Not excited about going to work anymore
Looking to doing something you actually care about and have the freedom of your own time
Starting a business is the sure fire way to get rid of all the “what-ifs” in your life”
2. You will accelerate your learning curve like never before
On of the first things you learn when starting a business is LEARNING
When youre an employee you learn about your role and your industry
When youre the boss, you have to learn everything
Marketing
Accounting
Operations
Finance
Keeping up to date with..
New technology
Tools
Consumer trends
Industry news
This will for you to learn like never before, you will easily become a lifelong learner who loves the challenge of learning something new
Both personal and business will become a progressive journey
You’ll start to develop a “beginners mind”
3. You’ll learn to be independent in your thinking and trust your instinct
Running a business requires you to think on your, ALOT
There won’t be a boss or a team of advisors in the beginning to bounce ideas off of
Constantly you will learn how to make decisions independently and become more decisive as you grow
You learn to trust your gut instinct because no-one else knows your business like you do
Theres something about that feeling you get when a decision is solely dependent on you at any given moment
No need to compromise different opinions from your boss and your colleagues anymore, you make your decision and then are responsible for it
4. You wake up every day driven and motivated to go to work
Living a life dedicated to your passions and dreams in priceless
You actually start wishing you could fast forward past the sleeping parts so you can get back to the hustle
In the beginning there won’t be any money most likely, but it won’t matter
5. You know what it feels like to truly follow ones passion
The feeling of fulfillment just does something to you and keeps you excited, because “at least im working for myself”
best way to learn how to sacrifice the external things that make you happy (Like drinking and eating out) for the things that make you internally happy (Making your business succeed)
Instead of that money being used for a night out, you’d happily spend that on new products or marketing materials, because that money will come back plus some
6. You become more daring and fearless
Starting a business cant be some scary stuff, but a good scary lol
You quickly learn to believe in yourself by making daring decisions over and over
Being an entrepreneur will get rid of your self-limiting beliefs like never before
You learn that nothing is ever really that serious and 6 months from now it won’t matter or it’ll be funny to look back at
You learn that your comfort zone expands the more you step out of that comfort zone
You learn to initiate contacts and approach people, its not so scary after all
You learn to make things happen even when you have no idea how to do it (google)
This mentality develops into a habit and you get comfortable with being uncomfortable
7. You become a person of actions, not just words
As an entrepreneur you cannot just talk for the hell of it
In fact, things won’t happen unless you make actions
You have to keep your word and follow through or you won’t be an entrepreneur for that long
In the beginning you cant afford the experts or employees so everything is on you! Embrace it!
8. Quickly realize how many amazing people really are out there
You meed tons of other like minded people who are dedicated to bettering themselves and their skills
These people are always more than willing to help another fellow entrepreneur out, this community is focused on progressing and answers instead of being stagnant and focusing on problems (which could be you current circle)
This will bring you more opportunities than you could imagine
