Being an entrepreneur is hard. It’s fairly not something I ever thought I would do. Starting my own company at the age of 25 has taught me a lot. I’ve educated a lot about working with the public, business partners, my powers and weaknesses and much more. So here are few things I thought of that I have learned over the past year that I wanted to share.
- People Will Underestimate You
You will have to prove yourself. Show self-reliance in everything you do. Show the same admiration you want.
- People Will Try To Take Benefit Of You
Just because you are a startup does not mean you do everything or anything for free. Be gratified of your invention and firm on your pricing.
- You Will Sweat The Minor Stuff
For the first 6 months to a year, you will most probably sweat the little things. I hassle about people not supportive of our company, not understanding the accounting software I use (I’m learning), doing taxes (money well spent hiring a professional), and how to design my own advertising material (taught myself design programs). All things that are significant, but try not to lose sleep over the minor stuff.
- On That Note, You Will Lose Sleep
If you aren’t creating money, you are dropping sleep. How do we pay our bills? What seller gets paid this week? If you are making money, you’ll drop more sleep. What’s the finest use of our incomes? Is my accounting software good sufficient to keep a trail of all of this? Who do we pay first?
- You Will Have Cheerleaders And You Will Have Negative Nancy’s
Grab the good, drop the bad. Don’t waste time pay attention to negative comments, unless it’s helpful. You will have friends that don’t care you. You might even lose a friend or two because your significances have altered. Don’t let this material slow you down. Use the optimistic supporters as your driving power.
- You Will Second-Guess Everything
Most entrepreneurs have good months and bad months. In bad times it’s hard to wonder if you are doing anything right. You will second-guess your idea, your business model, and your dream. It’s significant to focus on what you can expand on in those rough times because in the good months, you know it’s working.
- You Will Need A Break
I know several entrepreneurs say you can’t holiday within the first few years of starting a company, but I disagree. Everyone needs a break, time to reproduce, refresh and come back renewed. I get cooked out effortlessly, so I take weekends to get away and get a full night’s sleep, not thinking about anything work related.
- You Will Make Mistakes! Lots Of Them
We are human. We all make blunders. Find methods to work through your prevention and learn. I write. I write about inaccuracies I’ve made, things that irritate me, things I don’t like. I don’t put out any of these posts, but for me, that’s free treatment to work through why I possibly messed up or got irritated.
- Reward Yourself
Celebrate all victories. Big or small. Get excited about the small wins, now is the time to admiration yourself, your team, partners, etc. And do it often.
- You Will Love Being An Entrepreneur
It’s tough. It’s fatiguing. Maybe it’s not for everybody, and I frequently think if this is correct for me. But if you are zealous about what you do, you will love the hard work you put into it and you will really love the repayment.
