Sometimes when we see successful entrepreneurs, we admire their success and pay little or no attention to their humble beginnings. It is not easy setting up a business from the scratch and beating all odds to see our little investments grow. Entrepreneurs are one group of people we underrate in our society, this people are doing alot to ensure we get our desired satisfaction. I have tried launching a business on different occasions and it didn't just work out. I just had to accept the fact that entrepreneurship is not for me, I have chosen other fields and I am successful in them.
You know, I kind of relate to your experience when the time I decided to start my own business. I had a hard time with everything even if I planned all of it, like I was overwhelmed with every problem that came during that time. I also feel that maybe starting my own business is not for me, this entrepreneurship thing is only for people who have connections and not from common people like me.
But you know what, I did the same thing as you do. I chose other fields where I could excel, but I never gave up on my dream to have a successful business. While working in this field, I attended seminars and watched YouTube videos to learn from the experiences of other entrepreneurs.
After all the preparations, I applied all the learnings and experiences I had from my past business and used all of it to start a new business. Guess what, this business has currently run smoothly by now, I have a lot of realization that I should have known in the past, but because of everything I have faced, I can somehow manage to settle the problems that I didn't imagine I could manage.
