WHY the Heck Would You Want To Become an Entrepreneur?
WHY?
That’s what YOU have to ask yourself as an entrepreneur. A couple days ago I wrote about the 5 steps in becoming a Young Entrepreneur. The first thing that any young entrepreneur needs to be thinking about is the ‘why’ behind them becoming one.
Your “WHY” is your reason for doing what you do. It’s your drive, your purpose, that thing that you’re working for. People become entrepreneurs for many different reasons. Here are just a few reasons why:
- Time freedom
- Family
- Travel
- To be your own Boss
These are just a few. Did you notice I didn’t mention money. Money will only take you so far. But it’s what money does for you that’s more important than money itself. If it’s all about money for you, I PROMISE you that you’ll never be fulfilled.
For me, it was to be in a position where my wife can raise our kids, be able to pack our luggage at any moment and travel anywhere at any given time, and to be able to give back. Your reason might be different than mine, but you’ve gotta figure it out. A hint on how to find your why, is to figure out what you’re passionate about, what you love most, who you love, that thing inside of you that you LIVE for!
Another reason this is so important in my opinion is because being an entrepreneur can sometimes be rough. Being you’re own boss can get to you sometimes. Lets say that money isn’t coming in, you’re being rejected, you can’t strike up business, your friends and family might think you’re crazy, if you have no ‘why’ it’s very easy to give up and throw in the towel. When you’re absolutely clear about your reason why you’re an entrepreneur, there’s NOTHING that will stand in your way of becoming a successful young entrepreneur.
What’s your reason why and how has it helped you?
