The Life of an Entrepreneur

I don’t think people understand the personality or even the thought patterns of being an entrepreneur.

“it’s a constant drive to be better than yesterday”

I get up in the morning (between 5–6), take my phone and see what’s happening from a business stand point as well as an entertainer’s POV, because I have a social media business. I jump into the shower, get dressed, pack up my laptop and gear (camera’s) — sometimes I help my wife (which I love so much) with her goodies…. next, I jump in the car, drop off my wife and sit in traffic….

While I’m in traffic I try to phone 3–5 people I haven’t spoken to in a while to find out how they are doing or if I can provide value to them, sometimes its just for chats. While chatting to the people …this happens -

“ Hi Dean, how are you…

(in my head) …what I need to do to build my FamousBusiness Inc business, what did they do with that billboard, what can I do better that will help my clients grow…dammit I need to record a video for “3 reasons why your marketing is failing” — I need to see what is the results of the Facebook ad, oh I need to plan a UnderdogZone 101 show, how am I going to market that show , I need to plan GeboreTalente’s marketing(film), how am I going to do that, oh I need to see what the problem is with the exporting of the film, dammit I forgot to send an email…I need to plan “12 steps in acting”… I need coffee!

“okey bye, nice chatting with you.”

That was the first call, ready for the next call.

You see, I’m constantly brainstorming on what I can do better and what I still need to do. Then I get a Facebook message “ please help me with my business…” then I have to think about that as well, because i want to help.

I run about 6–7 project every single week so it gets very busy. What I do is breath then just ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in what I need to do today and what I need to spend my attention on.

I have been an entrepreneur from the age of 14, where I started loaning money out to my dad’s workers. I have realised that I can achieve anything — Yes I know everybody has this cliche’ about “you can do anything” — kinda irritates me…..

Don’t get me wrong, you can do anything, but for an entrepreneur that is a death sentence. Let me explain… You have heard Eminem “seize very opportunity” from the movie called 8Mile…. Just think about this, If you take every opportunity you will not complete neither. You have to take the opportunity in what you want to achieve and only focus in making that successful!

“If you run after two bunnies, you are not going to catch one”

We need to focus in what we need to do, only then will you be successful. I’m about to plan my next UnderdogZone 101 “ How Floyd Mayweather built a $1Bn company.”

Damnit, I needed to send that mail…I need coffee.

Please subscribe to my YouTube channel, I have been spending a lot of time researching that platform. Renier Weideman/Youtube
