Let’s be honest, there comes a point in life when one tends to wonder, is this how it's going to be, 8 to 5 everyday, no time for the kids, friends, heck ! No time for yourself. Demanding employers who do nothing but sit back in their chairs and bark out orders in any language conceivable. It is at this point, this dying moment that my dear friend ENTREPRENEURSHIP comes all smiley saying " hey dear, need a hand?”

Entrepreneurship is not as scary as it looks. Yea, statistically, about 3 out of every 10 start-up businesses survive after the first 3 years, BUT, BUT, BUT let’s be positive if you do everything right, the right way and at the right time all will be well.

Frankly, why would anybody want to be an entrepreneur? Don't be deceived it is not just about the money, the money will come, and true, but entrepreneurship is a lifestyle that causes you to make an impact on the world. It's this mentality that keeps you going when things get rocky in the world of "E".

I think one of the best things about being an entrepreneur is

YOU CALL THE SHOTS: That's just awesome. You get to do what you want, what you like and what you have passion for BUT on your own terms. Entrepreneurship is not a bed of roses but it’s not a crown of thorns either it’s a building process. You take decisions yourself but you take responsibility too. Basically, YOU ARE THE BOSS... (You call the shots but you also take the shit...)

The satisfaction of being referred to as a business owner is priceless. Have you ever been out for drinks with friends, they start talking about your work then you go 'oh that's my place' and they say ' I know you work there' and you are like 'oh no... I own it...' for those 30 seconds everybody is literally speechless like "ARE YOU KIDDING".

Being a business owner has a sort of prestige to it. Whether the business is booming or not people just appreciate the fact that you are doing your own thing.

Yea ... well, that's just the fun side of entrepreneurship. Check out my next post because entrepreneurship is no smooth sailing it can bring on some nasty storm but when the going gets tough...
