The Burden of the Entrepreneur
Wouldn’t it be So Easy If
“I could just continue to work at my job, make my $60,000 per year, take my yearly 2 weeks vacation, purchase my BMW, and just sit back and enjoy my life without worrying about becoming ’successful’ one day like what those entrepreneurs are trying to do. Heck, I’m already set with my sweet weekly check and raise in 5 years. Right on!”
I’m sure that many young entrepreneurs have
thought about just forgetting their entrepreneurial goals and ambitions to resort to an “easy” life of comfort and control. The life with the steady paycheck, predictable days, and the company car with the company vacations. And, maybe even a company meal here or there.
Blah..Blah…
But it’s never that easy for the hungry entrepreneur that won’t settle for less. The entrepreneur with the burden to succeed by all means necessary. The entrepreneur that says: “F$#K SAFETY! I’m going to make my own future. There has to be more to life than just working for someone for 40 years of my life. Nah dude, I’ll pass.”
Many young entrepreneurs wakeup every morning and go to work. They are sad. They are unhappy with their jobs. They want to take the step of quitting and venturing off to start a company but the fear haunts them and keeps them from leaving their corporate jobs that mom and dad are so proud of them for getting.
But for many of you, deep down inside you feel the burden.“The Burden of the Entrepreneur.” The burden to always want more out of your life. The burden not to settle for less. The burden to stake your claim in this world.
But here’s the thing:
The entrepreneurs who are going to make it, are not the ones who lock in this burden, but the one who free themselves of this burden and take a risk to just go for it! To take that necessary leap into the unknown. To do something to change your life and break the monotonous cycle of safety and comfort.
Actually taking risk, is a normal every day thing but when we think going in to business as too BIG risk..then it will become BURDEN.
