The passion 🔥

For me it's the only thing I got. Friends/family is kind of falling apart atm. So it's a good way to combat loneliness couple that with the fact that I've wanted my own business since I was 12. That's the recipe for me I still have days with 0 drive but hey as long as I know I won't give up that's what matters.

And the whole loneliness part it's not a sob story I know I'll get the social circle I want in the end I just have to work(socially) for it. Just wanted to share that for some of us it offers an escape because on the days I don't want to do it I think to myself

"Ok you have no friends, family relations is going to s#it, no gf do you really want to hit a homerun and have no career also?"

Then I get my ass up and start working

Put in too much blood and sweat into this already to give up now

Vengeful spite.

Just the satisfaction of knowing I made something work and making my own money.

Choosing entrepreneurship/self-employment/starting your own business over getting a "job"/being an employee of a company, is a frightening and extremely risky decision to make. Yes, it is exciting and the potential rewards can be amazing (this is why those of us who chose this path did so, right?).

This decision comes with very hard work, all of which must be initiated by you and you alone. Your success (or the rate at which you move towards success) depends very much so on how much effort you put in, how much resources you have to help you, and how much (and what kind of) support you have.

Moral support and encouragement from loved ones - family and friends - helps a ton if you are lucky enough to have that. Sadly, many have family and friends who are unsupportive or even actively discouraging (I think most often this is down to jealousy). Things are so much easier (by no means easy, just easier), when you have a supportive and encouraging environment. Try to socialise with fellow entrepreneurs/business owners, if possible, in your local area perhaps, or heck even online, so you can be around people who are likeminded and who you can relate to - and, ultimately, will support and encourage you.

Many non-entrepreneurs just don't "get it". Let's be honest, life is much easier to be in traditional employment, where you have "a job" or a career working for someone else; where you can clock-out at the end of the day, go home and switch off from your work until the next day or next week. When you're an entrepreneur, particularly an early-stage entrepreneur, you don't have that luxury, you have to be focussed on your business day, evening and night. Many people just cannot understand why you would choose that over a job/career that would give you an easier life. They see you struggling and fighting constant challenges and obstacles in those early stages and just cannot fathom why you would put yourself through that, when there is the option to go work for someone else and not have to go through all of that.

I always go back to my why and make sure I’m very clear with it when I am struggling I am the sole provider for my family and also own a company it can be a lot to back to your why and focus there

Hmm….

1. An espresso machine at home / office
2. Vacation (Clears my head and get inspired) preferably a place of wonder to remind me that greatness is amongst us.
3. Going back to my hometown
4. Audio/traditional motivational books
5. Crunch Time / Deadlines
6. Exercising (Boosts mood and motivation)
7. Watching artists / documentaries
8. A good sleep 8+ hours

Entrepreneurship isn't for the faint-hearted, and only a (albeit large) minority of people are, in reality, really suited to it. But even those of us who have chosen this path, and believe we are among the few truly suited to it, need support and also encouragement along the way. To those who are able to crack on and succeed without that - I salute you.

I’ll lose my house if I don’t keep going 🤣

In all seriousness though, I love doing what I do - games, design, development, product and packaging development. All cool shish.

The very fact that I have no support. Every time things get rough I think, “watch what I do in spite of…..”
