Why is Being an Entrepreneur so Hard?
Why does being an entrepreneur seem so hard? It should be the easiest thing in the world
to do. With no set scheduled work times and no one (except yourself) to be
accountable to, it should be simple. Still we squander the freedom we have to
achieve our goals.
I worked many years in a factory as a maintenance man and
all the hours were set. They told you when to start, when break times were and
how long, and when to stop. Everything was predetermined and we would abide by
it or loose our jobs. We were told what to do, when and how to do it, with no
complaints or suggestions accepted. They decided the wages, benefits and IF you
qualified for them. The employer made every decision and the implementing of
it.
Even when I was self-employed as an electrician, contracted
to another company, I always started on a regular basis. I had the options of
when I did things but I knew the completion date of the project and worked
accordingly. The schedule was in my control but it was also my responsibility
to meet the deadline. The company owner expected me to be on the site and to
consistently show progress toward finishing. When plans and other peoples
decisions changed I also had to adapt and incorporate them.
Being an entrepreneur and the rewards of it exceeds imagination.
With no one directing us we have the freedom to apply our abilities and talents
in the pursuit of our dreams, yet we still fail to accomplish them. Attempting
to do what needs done doesn’t stop the interruptions and we fail to overlook
them, stopping our progress. A plan needs to be in affect to counter these and
support our purpose. It takes a decided and determined mind to overcome
obstacles and work for you. Write a schedule and put it on paper, set times for
doing certain tasks and stick to them. Allow for a break every hour to clear
your mind and rest your body. This gives you a fresh start hourly with renewed
energy.
Learning to control our actions and us is the key to
fulfilling or desires. Without that we cannot be in the position we dream of.
The benefits will outweigh the effort to achieve your goals.
