I don’t know how many of you wish for a life where you play by your rules, at your own pace. There’s this thing called entrepreneurship, it’s very addictive, it’s very hard, it leads to you questioning your sanity but it leads to the ultimate form of freedom and liberation.
Many of you will probably try it out here and there and give up at the first sign of trouble. But why is that? Why give up on possibly the best thing that can happen to you? You give up because you lack this thing we call long-term vision, this thing gives you a bigger picture of where you want to be. In fact you should sleep, drink and sh*t your vision every single damn day. It should become part of who you are, you talk towards it, you read towards it and you are always thinking about it. A great vision is only possible when you think big, what is thinking big?
This is thinking big:
One Poor boy was
looking at a rich man’s car.
Rich man took the boy for a ride.
Boy: Your car is great, isn’t it expensive?
Man: Yes. My brother gifted it to me.
Boy: Ohh. (Thinking)
Man: What are you thinking? Let me guess.. You also want such a car
Boy: No.. I want to become like your brother.
How do you get this long vision thing right? You start by identifying what you love to do or you identify a problem you wish to solve and thinking big. Then you ask yourself, am I able to make some money from this, which is always a yes.
YOU CAN MAKE MONEY FROM ANYTHING!
Now once you have this vision thing running within your mind you set small little steps that lead to the attainment of your vision. These little steps are everything, they determine whether you make your vision happen or not. The little steps is where some of you go wrong. You wish for everything to be perfect and smooth sailing, but as I said entrepreneurship is hard, it can never and it will never be perfect. The key is to make as many mistakes as possible with your first try of being an entrepreneur, thereafter these mistakes will give you the base to start over a whole lot wiser.
