Entrepreneurship - First week

After all that has been said, entrepreneurship sounds terrifying and exciting. It has been portrayed as a difficult, painful, and insecure path, but at the same time with a fulfilling, rewarding, and satisfying result. I am not a parent, but it sounds like parenting to me.

It is like you take have to care for a baby, a baby that requires a lot of your time and effort. Many times, you cannot spend time on things that are fun to you because you have to attend to greater responsibility. By night you wonder how it will grow and start to create a lot of expectations around that. Sometimes that baby doesn’t meet your expectation and you might get sad, but hopefully, it does not take him that long until he starts giving you those moments of joy, after the pain and sacrifices you have experienced. That is how I believe it is going to be on this path.

I have experience failure on this path even before starting. I have felt many fears, probably all of them, fearing of not being good enough, fearing of failing, fearing letting down those how to support and believe in me, but the fear of missing out has been extremely impactful, so impactful that constantly takes me back to the journey. The fear of regretting not having tried it and that it could have been successful motivates me a lot.

So I can handle this responsibility, I am preparing myself, by learning the craft of an entrepreneur, pondering about what kind of entrepreneur I want to be, dreaming of the things I would like to achieve, and planning them.

I am glad I am not alone, I have the support of my friend, my family, and my wife, and above all of them I know I have God’s support. I think that I have been led to strive to be better and do better, not just for my own sake but for others. Though terrifying might sound like this path I just can think of how exciting it will be.
