So many times I hear “want-to-be” or aspiring entrepreneurs say things like, “I just don’t have the money or time to start a venture right now, even though I do want to.”
Its comments like this that hinders a large proportion of the youth in our society from ever running and tackling their dreams for success.
You see in our culture we come from the “microwave generation,” we want everything correct and done in just a few seconds.
However anything worth a red cent isn’t going to come overnight, but it’s going to come through hard work as many of you guys already know. Another issue plaguing young ‘prenuers is also the fact that they place too much emphasis on their current situation or what they perceive as a negative or unstable foundation.
However if you can grasp the concept that your foundation or current situation means absolutely nothing at all, then you will have that extra determination needed to go after your goals full force without the negative mental perceptions of your current state of affairs.
Forget about the fact that your time is limited, who cares that your parents and other family/friends don’t support your ventures and believe that you will fail.
Who cares that money is tight and you’re barely making ends meet and covering business expenses.
Who cares that you have a hard time finding loyal and trustworthy business partners, forget about the fact that your venture is currently small and fairly limited.
Don’t stress over the countless waking hours you’re pouring into your business without the immediate gratification.
You know why you don’t have to stress over all these topics, issues, and conflicts that you’re facing, it’s because none of it truly matters, because it’s not where you start that matters and it’s not even where you’re currently at that’s important.
The only thing that matters is where you’re going!
Keep going forward and don’t dare look back.
