9 Things I Wish I Knew Before Starting My Business
What to prepare for to achieve success.
Entrepreneurship is mostly a lie.
It has this aura of fame, lambos, parties, and freedom. Influencers flaunt private jets, weekends in Vegas, models, and a selfie with Gary Vaynerchuk to show how awesome it is. But very few show what goes on behind the scenes and what it takes to build a business. While everyone is happy to show off their wins, few are as eager to showcase their losses.
I wish someone had told me how difficult the journey to building a business online was and what it takes to achieve our goals.
Luckily for you, I’ve had plenty of failures and have learned from them. If you desire to build a business or brand online, brace yourself for what’s to come.
1. Doubt
The amount of doubt you’ll feel at times will be crippling.
You will question yourself and feel like this will never work. But, it can and it will if you stick to it. Any dream you have — especially building a business — will be a test of perseverance. It’s an opportunity to build a relentless mentality of grit.
Doubts creep in when you’re seeking fast cash and instant success. Get that out of your head now. Entrepreneurship is hard.
