Do You Want to be an Entrepreneur?
Experiencing entrepreneurship is risk-taking and time-consuming. You have to ask yourself, can you become an entrepreneur? Based on your work ethic, mental health, and communication skills. Reflection might knock you back into reality.
Pressure & the Clout
From 20 to 24, you're wide-eyed with everything under control, or so you thought. You have big goals and tight deadlines, with no time to waste. Chill! - yes, set goals and have a sense of discipline, but don't stress yourself. Half the time, the stress stems from your ego gazing at social media's "perfection" and clout chasers. You need to have more common sense and structure. Look at social media objectively; stop being a consumer.
You understand perfect posts are sell tactics. Please take a look at everything objectively while enduring your entrepreneurial journey. Don't allow social media and ego to drive you off course with unhealthy pressure.
Most business owners need to track share value with their audience. Boasting about your business and the "I" complex does not bring your audience value.
The Stability
Yes, you can experience financial losses, but your mental is priceless. When starting a business, most realize the mental gymnastics. Obsession with money takes its toll, with your mental health at stake. An unhealthy mind is the foundation of burnout, depression, resentment, and stress. Starting a business can be exhausting, but it's vital to make sure health is a priority. A clear mind will lead to clear intentions, and a negative perception will affect your business decisions.
The Discipline
Every hat is an investment; it’s best to be clear and concise. What can you offer the people consistently? It's not all about you; it's about what you can offer. Capital will come with clarity and consistency. Why should anyone trust your products or services? This is a critical question to ask during rebranding. It's cute having multiple roles, but how can you prevent burnout and over-investing? Remember, each talent requires money and time, and you must save. It's best to separate passion from joyful hobbies.
Realizing the UpKeep
Plenty of young entrepreneurs are obsessed with getting their businesses started. They're excited to post it on Instagram, seeking approval from their peers. Meanwhile, they disregard the longevity of their business and indulge in everything with the hopes that something will stick. It’s OK to desire to do everything; it’s called growth. However, that's not longevity. It’s a phase; your business is not a phase. Critically consider future business strategies by creating a short business plan, not boasting on social media.
IT'S YOUR PATH
Both 9 to 5 and entrepreneurship have similarities; one is not better. Your level of risk tolerance and values make it different. Both individuals strive to get paid and maneuver through capitalist standards. Both struggle to prioritize capitalist norms and personal passion. Bill collectors care less about your multiple talents and Instagram followers; they want their money. You don't need to become an entrepreneur; you don't need to have a 9 to 5. You need to follow your PATH.
