The biggest shock most people have when they begin to build their own enterprise is the amount of time they need to dedicate to it. It is hard. It is even harder to find individuals who will commit to your cause in the same fashion that you have. There is no free time, or days off, the money can be tight, or worse there could be lots of it. The new business becomes a relationship in its own right. Full of life experiences and challenges that are rewarding opportunities for growth. It is an uncomfortable experience. Your family will doubt you. Probably because they know you. They will have seen a hundred times where something was started and never finished. Or, some vice perhaps that may cause a downfall. You know it, they know it and it is the biggest hurdle you will have to overcome. Making it worse is the reaction to a failure. But for some reason an idea may have settled in your thought process that you can do this, whatever it is. That you have what it takes to go and make it happen.

I knew a man once who walked away from a good paying job because he wanted more. He started a store that sold mattresses. He told me that one day his wife asked him why he was working so hard to sell these mattreses, why so much for advertising. He told her that if we don’t sell this many mattresses by Friday, we don’t eat next week. That is pressure. You either rise up to meet the occassion or you go back to working a job. My friend is a wealthy man today. Bills are of no concern to him. By all yardsticks with which we measure financial independence he is there.
