The WHY!
Before starting this steemit work, you need to be prepared mentally, emotionally and Spiritually for it. So the first step is to envision your WHY!
Why are you you here on steemit? Why are you doing what you are doing here? Why do you
want to become a member?
The stronger your WHY is, the more guaranteed your success will be.
i. I want us to discuss Entrepreneurial Journey.
One of my entrepreneurs friends said:
I’m not telling you that to discourage you; I’m showing you the reality, far from all the cliché that you hear and read
every day about entrepreneurship.
Just remember, if it were easy, everyone would do it.
Your entrepreneurial journey here will be full of failures, setbacks, hard work, sacrifices and persistence.
Failures and Setbacks:
The only barrier standing between you and your dream is the fear of failure.
Failures and setbacks are the essential natural parts of the path to success; they’re part of the game.
Your journey will be full of setbacks and failures, except if you are so lucky!
But are you going to tell me that you are betting on your luck? If you are, the best place to go to is Vegas, my friend.
My suggestion is to start the soonest you can, start failing soon, so you can succeed soon.Hard Work:
Don’t expect to reach your goals sitting and watching TV, or just lying on your back and dreaming, don’t expect
anyone else to reach your goal for you and just give it to you on a golden plate.
If you want your dream to come true, you have to get your butt up and crash it.
Trap:
Here’s another trap that you don’t need to fall into, it’s called “workaholic trap,” be aware not to fall into it;
work effectively, work smart.Sacrifices:
Although you work hard, people will not believe in you, some will think that you are insane. You will find
yourself alone, will expect support, but find nothing, you will be discouraged.
Although you sacrificed all your entertainment, your comfort zone, on the first failure, you will find the
“I told you” people gathering around you, pointing at you.
Don’t expect anything in return for your sacrifices; people won’t care about you, your feelings or your
motivation.Persistence:
Failures, hard work, and sacrifices, but how can anyone succeed after all this?
The secret formula is called Persistence.
