The concept of entrepreneurship is often romanticized. People see the glitz and glam behind being able to say that they work for themselves. What a lot of people might not understand is that owning and operating your own business takes a great deal of sacrifice and commitment.
Recognize that your victory is for you. It feels great to know that the people in your circle are proud of you but ultimately, you do not need their validation.
Personal Growth should not be seasonal. Progress should be an on-going process. If you make a resolution for the new year and wind up off track after a week, are you really going to wait until the next year to try again? The new year is also a new day. If you think about it, we experience a lot more new days than new years so there are a lot more opportunities for a fresh start.
Life is about finding your strengths and working within them. Know your capabilities and limitations. Be willing to step outside of your comfort zone and try learning new things. In doing so, you may discover skills and competencies that you never knew you had. Alternatively, you may find that certain things are just not for you. Either way, taking the risk will teach you something about yourself, bringing you one step closer to what is ultimately meant for you.
