Aspiring entrepreneurs often ask me what’s it like to be a startup founder and what must they know before starting a business?The short answer is GREAT and a whole lot but we’ll get to it shortly…It’s no secret that we live and work in the world where most people, especially among Millennials and Generation Z who are soon to enter the workforce, think and dream of starting their own business.Freelancers, solopreneurs and entrepreneurs are terms being used by millions worldwide to describe themselves. Many don’t even realize the true meaning of those terms, yet use them on a regular basis and with much bravado.Why?Because it’s cool…entrepreneurship, freelancing, gig economy, co-working spaces and all the new and fancy schmancy terms and ways of making living nowadays are just cool and best of all, there’s really not much to it, is there?Well, hate to tell you but there’s much more to it than meets the eye…much more than what the mainstream media report on and wants you to believe.There’s no glamour or fame, instead there’s so much misery and pain. Entrepreneurship is the way of life not something you just become over night.Entrepreneurship is the way you think, breath, eat, sleep, live and everything in between. I believe that you either have it in you or you don’t. I say this from experience having worked with and known so many interesting people over the course of my personal and professional life.Many were exceptional and wildly successful, others not so much but often times the one thing they had in common was the entrepreneurial DNA.You reading this, tells me that you too might be an aspiring entrepreneur who dreams of becoming a successful startup founder and serial entrepreneur or perhaps you already are a serial entrepreneur who simply wanted to read my take on entrepreneurship and what I believe aspiring entrepreneurs and startup founders ought to know before taking the leap of faith.So, here goes… https://ift.tt/2ADb13K via /r/business https://ift.tt/2RudDa1
