Fake Entrepreneurs
I'm noticing a trend...
You know, there's this glamorous image of entrepreneurship that's constantly pushed in our faces:
- Private jets whisking you off to exotic locales
- Hiring a CEO to run your empire while you lounge on a beach
- Flashy cars and sprawling mansions
- A portfolio of 10 different thriving businesses
But let's be real for a second.
The truth is, entrepreneurship is more like:
- Staring into the abyss, wondering if you've made the right choice
- Eating glass (metaphorically, of course) as you push through endless challenges
- Taking out a second mortgage just to make payroll and keep the lights on
- Dealing with people problems that no business school could prepare you for
- Putting out customer fires left and right
- Always looking over your shoulder at competitors who'd love nothing more than to see you fail
Sound familiar? I bet it does.
Here's the thing – just like growing your business isn't about chasing vanity metrics or playing pretend CEO, real success isn't about the fancy trappings either.
It's about facing those hard truths head-on and pushing through anyway.
You've dealt with the crap. You've seen the ugly side. And you're still standing.
That's what real entrepreneurship is about.
