Can anyone be an entrepreneur? Yes, anyone can be.. but not everyone is cut out for it. Not everyone has what it takes.
I don’t believe in limitations, but you definitely have to have thick skin, flexibility and an open mind to go in business for yourself, it’s just not for everyone. Why? Being an entrepreneur puts you on an emotional roller coaster unlike anything you have ever experienced. You flip rapidly from day-to-day – one where you are euphorically convinced you are going to rule the world, to a time in which doom seems only moments away, you feel completely ruined, and back again. One day paying cash for a house and a car becomes a reality, then the next day you may not know how you are going to eat. This happens over and over and over. And I’m talking about what happens to stable entrepreneurs.
There is so much uncertainty and so much risk involved around practically everything you are doing it will magnify everything in your life. Relationships can suffer, some will be lost. Not everyone in your life can handle the chaos of the ride. You end up appreciating the people who entered your story when times were bad and always question those that didn’t stick around and those that entered your life when times were good. It’s a constant battle when it comes to personal relationships.
You must also have extreme discipline, more so than anyone else. You must study non stop. You must take action, even if it means you sacrifice in other areas. Taking action costs money… sometimes lots of it. You must have a never ending thirst for information. You must be willing to work for countless hours on a project that may or may not make you any money.
Experiences of incredible highs and unbelievable lows at whiplash speed and huge magnitude will just be your status quo. Sound like fun? Not always, but It’s sooo worth it!! Why is it worth it? The freedom that many in your life will never get to experience in their lifetimes. The freedom that comes from being your own boss, on your own terms, is something, that once you get a taste of, you will never want to let it go. You will do everything in your power to keep it.
