Different ways of defining success can be used
You can be a successful father or mother. A successful employee can also be you. You can be a friend who is successful. For some, we want to be successful entrepreneurs.
This article is for those who are interested in becoming entrepreneurs, or have already achieved that title.
Why?
People who want to be their boss have some common motivators, such as pride, purpose, and financial freedom.
People who are passionate about their ideas and dreams and want to make a difference in the world are my favorite people to talk to. Although they may have great ideas, sometimes it feels like they aren’t doing enough research about the realities of being a self-employed person. I hope to be able to help a few.
Why not?
Entrepreneurship is almost a buzzword in today’s business world. Entrepreneur is anyone who has an idea. This list is meant to help you examine yourself and determine if you’re ready to take the plunge.
Here are the reasons why you shouldn’t be an entrepreneur.
3. Only one thing is your goal: to be wealthy
If I speak to someone with this ambition, it is almost a natural conversation that turns into “How can you make a lot money?” This should not be your motivation, I repeat.
Success is not only about wealth and money. It is important to care deeply about your customers and the needs they have. You will see a rise in your customer’s satisfaction if you provide immense value.
Customers pay you your salary.
2. You desire more time
What is your time worth? It is not a good idea to have free time. Let me explain.
You don’t have anything to do if you have no time. Entrepreneurs always have something to accomplish. You should always be working on tasks that will help your business, no matter how many emails you have to answer or the process you need to retool. If you are still saying, “Parker! You’re full of it, I’ve done all I need to”, I would suggest that you get on the phone and make more sales.
Diamonds are created by pressure and time.
You won’t be able to enjoy pina coladas at the beach if you don’t invest the effort and time required for the first year of entrepreneurship.
1. You don’t need to make sacrifices
Are you worried about your job? Wait until you start your new business.
To start a business, you must be mentally prepared. These are some questions you should ask yourself:
Do you feel ready to take on risk to launch your business?
Do you have the flexibility to work weekends and nights in addition to your normal work days?
Do you have the will to forgo family and friends events in order to grow your business?
Do you have the desire to learn and be educated continuously?
Do you have the will to stay there for many years before your dreams become reality?
If you answered “no” to any of these questions you might need to look deeper into your why and better understand your purpose. These are natural things that will come up if you aren’t committed to your purpose 100%.
