#ChasingDreams #Entrepreneurship #Crazy
🤪 You are crazy if you think starting a business is easy. But sometimes, being a little crazy is what it takes to make your dreams come true. When you step out of your comfort zone and pursue your passion, amazing things can happen. So, don’t be afraid to follow your dreams, even if others think you’re crazy.
## The Fear of Being Called Crazy
It’s crazy how society can view starting a business or chasing your dreams as a risky or foolish endeavor. Many people are quick to offer their unsolicited advice and tell you all the reasons why you should play it safe and stick to the status quo. But the truth is, taking risks and stepping outside of your comfort zone is often necessary for growth and success.
### Embracing the Crazy
Instead of letting the fear of being called crazy hold you back, embrace it. Use it as fuel to propel you forward and prove the naysayers wrong. Remember, some of the greatest innovators and entrepreneurs in history were once considered crazy for their ideas. But they didn’t let that stop them from achieving their goals.
## Why Starting a Business Isn’t Crazy
### Financial Independence
– By starting a business, you have the opportunity to create financial independence for yourself. You have the potential to earn unlimited income and build wealth in ways that may not be possible with a traditional 9-5 job.
### Pursuing your Passion
– Starting a business allows you to pursue your passion and do work that you truly enjoy. When you’re passionate about what you do, you’re more likely to be successful and fulfilled in your career.
### Making a Difference
– As a business owner, you have the power to make a positive impact on the world. Whether you’re providing a valuable product or service, creating jobs for others, or giving back to your community, starting a business allows you to make a difference in a meaningful way.
## Overcoming the Doubt
It’s natural to feel doubt and uncertainty when you’re embarking on a new venture. But it’s important not to let those feelings hold you back. Here are some tips for overcoming the doubt and staying focused on your goals:
1. Surround yourself with positive and supportive people who believe in your vision.
2. Stay focused on your why – remind yourself of the reasons why you decided to start your business in the first place.
3. Break down your goals into manageable tasks and celebrate small wins along the way.
4. Remember that failure is not the end, but rather a stepping stone on the path to success.
## Embracing the Crazy and Chasing Your Dreams
Don’t let the fear of being called crazy stop you from chasing your dreams. Remember, some of the greatest achievements in history were born out of crazy ideas and bold actions. So, embrace your inner “crazy” and go after what sets your soul on fire. In the end, you’ll be glad you did.
eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yup. Entrepreneurship is a lonely road. Most friends and family will try to talk you out of it. Succeed and you may even lose some of them. It’s the price of daring to break out of the standard 9 to 5 way of life.
Then tell them you got a new job. And pay more attention to the *target prospect and your customers* than the constant whining here about everybody ‘supporting’ you.
If you make real money, you won’t be able to pry them off you with a stick.
I think all the success porn has warped wantreprneur thinking. You ain’t gonna bask in public adulation the moment you utter the word “entrepreneur.” You have no customers. You have no business. (Really — a couple of people who bought is kinda the definition of not having a functional business).
STFU. Do your god damn job. People aren’t going to start doing the potty dance for your special snowflake ass just because you said “entrepreneur,” got business cards printed, then crapped out a business. And a lot of people’s ‘journey’ is from getting paid six figures to getting paid in the low five figures. Get real — nobody respects that. They back away from you, slowly.
Founders want to be considered like some pioneering discoverer, a Christopher Columbus. They are surprised when people do just that — looking at you like you’re lost.
People say u are crazy because most businesses being created are a waste of space and bring no value to society. If u want to create our company that has value for society people will say it will be hard but they won’t call u crazy. However if u want to open the 1000000 social media management company I will laugh at you.
I don’t know you OP, but I do know at least a few budding entrepreneurs who are very thin-skinned about their ideas. Posts like this appear in the sub on a daily basis, and I can’t help feel that at least a few are describing friends who are genuinely helping.
In a salaried job you generally have to convince your boss that some idea is worth doing. This forces you to actually think it through and be able to explain it. Owning your own business means not having to justify anything to anyone, which if you’re not careful can also mean not having to think anything through.
Surrounding yourself exclusively with yes-men and pushing away friends who ask the challenging questions is a path to ruin.
That’s a good thing though. Why would you want to be like the masses. Embrace being different. Why do you even care what they think? Why are you looking for validation? If you want to be cingartulated, get a job.
But… many people that tell others they are starting a business haven’t actually started one. They don’t have a business. People don’t congratulate others that say they are going to get a job. Once you have a business, people are more like congratulate you. But why do you need congrats. Be happy for yourself.
“95% of small businesses fail within 5 years.” Crazy.
They’re just jealous. You’re doing something they would consider so scary they project their fears onto you to justify their own decision to stay stuck in a job they hate.
Yeah, you’re crazy, but you’re not waking up every morning with a sinking feeling and wishing you didn’t have to go to work.
Crazy and brilliant.
In that position now. But I feel like you have to quickly disregard that. It’s just how we are all conditioned to be.
Just move your way, there will be a lot of saying random things working 9-5 jobs.
Absolutely true!
If you care what others think of your career choices, entrepreneurship is not for you.
Yeah my family has always made snide comments about freelancing when I literally make more than all of them and don’t have any college debt, lmaoo people are weird
Tell nothing and show results, you will never see their faces
