….cries the new entrepreneur.<\/p>\n
I felt the need to speak on this today since it affects so many people. I have coached entreprenuers from all walks fo life for nearly 20 years. Our role as coaches and mentors is truly to encourage people. <\/p>\n
Examples; When you are studying for your degree, do the colleges drill you on how hard it is to get a job, or how many will get laid off, how many will not be able to retire etc etc? No they empower you to get an education and the rest is up to you. <\/p>\n
Here is an analogy that I sometimes use. My daughter was 3 years old when she started ice skating. All she knew is that she wanted to be an Olympic skater like the ones on TV. My job is to help her, give her confidence, encourage her and pick her up when she falls. As a parent should I really say this …..”now you know you will fall about 3,600 times. You will break some bones. The ice is incredibly hard, while other children are in their warm beds you will be freezing on ice at 5:30 every morning. And your odds of being an Olympian are 1 in a million. Now honey go get’em! <\/p>\n
That’s insane. Should I destroy her dreams and just tell her? NOT!! As she grows as an athlete she will decide what her goals are. Then she will decide if the work and the struggles to achieve them are worth it. <\/p>\n
For entrepreneurs it’s not 1 in a million. The odds are much better for the consistent, persistent individual who keeps working on themselves and their skill sets and learns to delegate what they’re not GREAT at doing. For those who are Olympians in their heart, when its all said and done they won’t remember the falls, because only the people who don’t get back up are focused on the dirt in front of them.
