Although it looks glamorous, real entrepreneurship takes hard work and frequent failure.
Fifteen years ago, people would have assumed you were crazy for expressing a desire to become an entrepreneur. But the tables have turned. Today, it has become one of the most respected and intelligent paths to take. I’d go as far as saying it’s saved our economy and continues to move our culture forward.
Dream “jobs” are disappearing fast, and creating your ideal opportunity is the new normal. But a lot of people are getting into entrepreneurship with a blurred perspective, thinking that all you need is passion and work ethic. Those people are in for a rough ride unless they understand a few powerful truths and adopt the proper perspective. You can either play it safe or become successful, but you can’t do both. Entrepreneurship can be a dream come true, but you must know these truths.
