Watch This Before Starting Your Business
Summary
- Being a CEO is not as glamorous as it seems. Most people who started their businesses at the same time as I did are out of business now because they didn't take it seriously.
- The business continues to grow because of the care and attention I give to it, which can sometimes feel like paranoia.
- Running a business is not for everyone, and most people shouldn't want to do it because there are many other meaningful ways to contribute on this earth.
- I believe being a successful entrepreneur might require having a chip on your shoulder.

How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a reality check about running a business or personal growth journey. It's important to know it’s not all glamorous but takes serious commitment and care to thrive. Start by assessing your level of passion and dedication towards your goals. This way, you avoid diving into a challenging journey unprepared.
A good way of doing business or growing personally is by consistently giving attention to detail. If there’s something that feels off, even if minor, address it right away. Treat your ventures with a kind of cautious attention, almost like paranoia, ensuring nothing slips by unnoticed.
Reflect on your motivations. Figure out if you have a driving factor, like a chip on your shoulder, which propels you to succeed. This underlying motivation can be a powerful tool for pushing through challenges.
Examine and appreciate that entrepreneurship is not the only way to contribute meaningfully. If running a business isn't your true calling, look for other paths that align more closely with your skills and interests. Sometimes the most impactful contributions come from unexpected places.
Remember, low-cost, high-value strategies often begin with a mindset change. This means making the mental shift to seriously commit to what you are doing, ensuring each decision aligns with your core goals and motivations. This approach helps to nurture long-term success.
