If you have any tips for early entrepreneurs.
Yeah.
Uh, oh God, there's like so many, like there's, uh, so many, a book can be written.
I'm sure there are plenty of books about this, but I would say the number one thing is that
understand you are in this for the long haul, right?
And that may be a cliche answer, but sometimes the cliches are true is don't think about,
I've had problems with this myself, you know, obviously I've learned from it, but it's like,
don't think of it as, okay, in one year, I'm going to hit all of my goals, right?
You should really think about, okay, what am I going to be able to sustain this 10 years from
now? Do I want to sustain this 10 years from now? Do I want to be doing this 10 years from now?
If your answer is no, or you feel hesitant to even answer that question, then I'm not saying
entrepreneurship may not be for you, but that particular business may not be for you, right?
So I remember when I started early in my entrepreneurial journey, you know, before I
became a personal trainer, coach, started that business, you know, that's when I kind of got
bit by the entrepreneur bug. And I saw everything I saw, Oh, make money from Amazon FBA, you know,
make money from, you know, uh, what's the, what's the word like transcribing, you know, make money
from that, you know, do Shopify, do real estate, like do all these things. And I was spreading
myself so thin because all I wanted was entrepreneurship, money, freedom, right? But
I was getting into things that I didn't necessarily love, you know, it seemed cool at the time, but it's
like, it's it fizzled for a little bit. So what I would say mainly is do what you love, obviously,
because that is to sustain you for the long haul. But also just because you're not getting the
results you want immediately doesn't mean you failed. Doesn't mean that entrepreneurship isn't
meant for you. It just means that it's going to take longer than you anticipated, right? Of course,
there are those success stories that people make, you know, six figures in a year that does happen,
but at the same time, that doesn't happen for every entrepreneur. But if you can start
and stay persistent and endure the loneliness of entrepreneurship, because that that does happen,
the hardship, the celebrity beliefs that you have about yourself, oh, am I good at this? Should I
even be doing this? If you can endure, sustain, overcome those obstacles, stay in it for the
long haul because you will thank yourself later. Eventually, when you are on this mountaintop,
you're going to look back at the road you traveled, at the journey you kind of went through.
You're not only going to thank yourself, you're going to be grateful for it. You're going to be
much smarter because one thing I've understood as an entrepreneur is every step I take, when I look
back, I learn something from it and I make sure everything that happens in my life, not just
entrepreneurship, I try to find the blessing in it. I try to find the learning lesson in it
because that's just how I program and rewire my brain. If I can look for something positive,
if I can look for something that I can grow from, that's only going to help me in personal life or
entrepreneurship. That is kind of a long way to answer the question, but to boil it down,
to put it in a summary, in a nutshell, is just keep going. It's a marathon, not a sprint.
