Can I Become an Entrepreneur?

Entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It requires tons of hard work, a burning desire to overachieve, persistence, the ability to never give up, a self starter and self motivator, and various other factors designed to reach success. The reason why you don’t hear about many entrepreneurs is because most people end up giving up before they reach their goal. What you do normally hear about are the people that manage to survive despite the 99% failure rates. Literally, that one in a million person that manages to hit it big. But the majorities never do, and waste a ton of effort in doing so. Entrepreneurs are the same as actors. Although there are people that become popular, for every person that does so, another 100 people work their butt off just to fail. So what can you do? Are you still confident that you can become an entrepreneur?

Many people have dreams; rarely do people actually go after them, and rarer still do people actually succeed at it. The odds are really quite bleak at your odds of success. But if you really believe you can succeed, you can do so. The question is, do you actually believe in yourself? It is one thing to say that you believe in yourself and another to show it through actions. You may have heard that talk is cheap. That is completely true. If you believe in something, show it with your actions. Saying that you are an outgoing person and yet you never leave the house is such an example of a delusion. The majority of people fail when they try to become entrepreneurs. Is it because they are not special? Is it because it takes enormous amounts of time in order to become a success? Most people are not willing to do the work, how about you?

The key to success is good habits and the right mindset. If you have non destructive habits and always think positively and create a plan, you can eventually reach success. However, the time needed may be far longer than you realize. Picture how much time you think it will take to reach success and multiple the effort by ten or twenty times. Then you may have a chance of seeing how long it takes. The effect is similar to sticker shock. Sticker shock is when you see the price of something and find out that the price is far higher than you realized. Effort shock is the same concept except with hard work. Can you succeed in life? Sure, but be aware that it’s going to take years, if not decades. If you’re aware of that however, carry on. You’ll go far in life.
