Analog business models have a dark side, and divesting myself from them took years of recovery and financial losses—far more arduous than leaving any “job” I ever had. Divorcing myself from disrespectful, overbearing business partners that I slowly lost respect for and untangling collective messes created a lot of friction and mental anguish….
While I regret the experience, I know it was a necessary lesson… Difficult yes, but necessary. Now, focusing on my strengths has virtually eliminated the stress I once endured from absurdities like six-hour Sunday morning meetings (I kid you not) about toilet choices for a rental… and the never ending micro management of people who worked for us.
Learn from my troubles and watch for my upcoming book on the hidden dark side of entrepreneurship. Because it’s definitely not all sexy, motivational and uplifting—despite what the so-called gurus might lead you to believe.
Of course it won’t all be bad… In true fashion I’ll introduce you to a few detours you can take to avoid what I went through… and they don’t involve dealing with the hassles of having a brick and mortar business; whether it’s renting houses, opening a restaurant, selling cars, widgets of all kinds or just anything that involves a tangible product.
If you are tired of being tethered to a business or God forbid a J-O-B, this book may be for you… Also, if you’re interested in or passionate about any of the industries I mentioned, there is a less stressful, less time consuming and less risky way to be involved… and of course you’re not tied down to anyone, anywhere or anything… It enables you to have escape routes built in…which means more choices, more freedom… and ultimately more agency over your life.
If you crave more peace, money and freedom but less chaos, uncertainty and drama, stay tuned. You just might be enlightened and avoid the screwups I’ve made in the process…
