You may not agree and that’s fine, so Allow us share five things starting and running a business will do to you;

You think you are lazy? You think you lack ideas?

Start a business.

You’ll suddenly realize you weren’t lazy, you just didn’t have a sense of responsibility.

Your mind will be active like clockwork to make your business survive.

I hated selling as a child.

I was pretty much an introvert and would rather die than try to make people buy something.

Running a business forced me to work on this. What do you fear? Business will make you face it or die.

You used to think you were good at managing money, now you realize you really aren’t.

You thought you were a good leader who could manage people,

Business will help confirm if that’s true. Nothing exposes your personal weaknesses like business.

You’ll find yourself actively looking for places to learn new skills you need to make things work.

You won’t scoff at buying courses because you now realize you need that information or skill to grow.

Sadly, persons who don’t fit into your big picture would have to drop at some point.

You’ll find yourself choosing a new circle of friends with ambition & drive.

People will tell you you’ve changed and don’t have time for them.

What you learn in one year of actively running a business, may eclipse what people will learn in 4 years of studying business in school.

Why?

You make decisions everyday and see their consequences.

You take risks and get rewarded or burnt.

Business can make you rich.

And it is true.

But the person you become through running business may just be the biggest win for you.

Why?

You become someone who can take an idea and turn it into money spinning machine.
