Entrepreneurship is lonely as hell sometimes.

‍

Nobody “gets it.”

‍

Nobody understands what you’re going through on a day-to-day basis to make this thing work.

‍

The early rises… the canceled events… the pressure of satisfying your customers… the painful rejections… the unbearable uncertainty… the chronic confusion… and I could go on.

‍

Your real-life friends? 

‍

They’re turning up to their comfortable 9-5s – earning decent and safe money, seemingly satisfied with life. They don’t get it.

‍

You, on the other hand? 

‍

You’re out in the trenches, fighting battles every day, on a constant rollercoaster of emotions. Nothing is guaranteed for you. One day you feel like you’re on top of the world… the next you feel like everything is going to shit.

‍

And so you’re left completely alone. By yourself. With no one to ask for help.

‍

I get how you feel.

‍

I’ve been there myself.

‍

I’ve had those crippling self-doubts of “Will this even work?”, “Am I even smart enough?”, “Am I just running in circles?”

‍

I’m here to tell you: 

‍

There ARE people out there who understand – who are just like you.

‍

But it’s your duty to find these people. To be proactive and reach out to them. Cause nothing changes if nothing changes.

‍

I stepped into that trap a couple of months ago. It felt like my dreams were slipping out of reach. But I thought I could handle everything myself. 

‍

How wrong I was.

‍

Nobody does it all on their own.

‍

We ALL need someone to “lean on” and talk to.

‍

So find these people.

‍

• Forums
• In-person
• Social media

‍

Doesn’t matter.

‍

Be courageous and reach out to them. No matter how big or impressive they might seem. We’re all just people on the same journey.

‍

Talk soon,

‍
