If you are an entrepreneur you understand it takes a lot of work. Not to mention time, sacrifice, dedication, determination, patience, perseverance, and so much more. What drives me as an entrepreneur is that belief in what I am doing. I believe in my mission; the “why” in the “what” I do. That keeps going.
Unfortunately, there are so many messages out there that make it look so easy. It’s simple, but it is not easy. And most importantly, it doesn’t happen overnight. These messages are being created and delivered by the wantrepreneurs. They want it so bad they are willing to do whatever it takes make you and anybody else believe them, follow them, and buy their secret formula. The secret is there is no secret. It takes everything I mentioned in the opener.
The sad part is that so many people fall for the ones playing with smoke and mirrors. I’ll give them credit, right or wrong, they are good at what they do. I get it. If thought I could get the real thing faster I would go for it. I have fallen for few tricks in my time. For me, it became part of the learning process and ultimately, reinforced the reality that it takes time and hard work.
Of course there are many out there that are real and legitimate but it seems for every one real one there are ten snake oil salesmen. It often seems that these true entrepreneurs came out of nowhere but if you ask any of them they will say that their overnight success took ten years to accomplish.
If you have that drive, desire, and passion in you, don’t give up. Don’t be discouraged when things are not happening fast enough. Anything worth having is worth working for. Don’t sell yourself short. Don’t fall for the scams. Just put your head down and do the work. If you can’t say that you did everything in your power to make it happen, then keep going, don’t walk away. Regret is a horrible thing to live with.
Don’t walk away before the miracle. You will never know what might have been if you stop short.
