Great post. It’s so true that entrepreneurship isn’t the posh, live-your-dreams job that people mistake it to be. 1 in 10 businesses fail the first year! Appriciated your down to earth approach to the article.

Somebody said it in his/her comment and i must agree with that its very honest post but at the same time very personal as well. And you managed to express yourself nicely but i have to be honest with you too, don’t know why but i stopped reading in between, couldn’t read till end. Unexplainable emotional feelings i am facing.

I know I am getting in on this a little late but I couldn’t help but leave my 2 cents.

I have been self employed for the better part of going on 4 years now and I have to say they have been the greatest, most fulfilling, stressful years of my life. I think you hit the nail on the head when you say that being an entrepreneur can leave you with an extreme sense of being isolated and alone if you do not manage your time and activities very closely. These issues become greatly compounded when things fall through the cracks and there is no one there to help pick up the pieces, distribute the responsibility or tell you everything is going to be okay.

It is so important that while stepping out on your own you also set up a very strong, sound support system (which it sounds like you have) that will be there to listen to you, provide guidance when you stray and console you when you stumble. Without that not only does one put their business at risk, but their sanity as well.

Working around by yourself sometimes can be a little bit frustration. But it can a good way to improve ourselves. To reach financial freedom, we must try to start our business. Working with other people is a good place to start in the beginning. After we have enough knowledge, we can start our own business.

Hi Chris,

I used to be self employed about 5 years ago and it got to me so much I subconsciously ran a thriving business in to the ground two years later.

I have been starting to work part time again on some projects so that I can be self employed because I soon realized that working for someone else was not the answer.

Take Care,
Brett
