7 Sacrifices Successful Entrepreneurs Make to Succeed
7 Sacrifices Successful Entrepreneurs Make to Succeed
Dan WesternBy Dan Western
You can’t have success without sacrifice; If it was easy enough to become one of the greats without making sacrifices, every tom, dick and harry would skate by through life putting in the bare minimum, and still living they’re dreams. They wouldn’t have earned it.
Every successful entrepreneur has made sacrifices in order to build themselves great wealth and success. But they won’t just make one. They’ll make several in order to maximize their entrepreneurial growth.
Here are 7 of those sacrifices successful entrepreneurs make:
1. Security
If you’re planning on ‘starting from the bottom’, in the business world so to speak, then your job security is a sacrifice you need to think about making.
The only way you gain job security in the first place is by dedicating the majority of your time each day working for someone else. Starting a business at the same time can be incredibly tough, and in many circumstances almost impossible.
So you need to sacrifice the security in order to work towards bigger things. It’s both a difficult risk and sacrifice since income will be tight, but you’ve got to be willing to give up the good in order to shoot for the great!
2. Free Time
There comes a point in every entrepreneurs life time where they can slow down on the hours they’re putting in and begin to gain back their free time.
But to begin with, and certainly for a long period of time, they’ll sacrifice their free time to spend more hours working and building something they can truly be proud of.
All that time you’d normally spend watching T.V, chilling and doing unproductive activities will need to be sacrificed, and extra sickening work ethic needs to be put in.
As soon as you step into the wide world of business, the level of competition hits an all time high and becomes a major factor in determining your success.
If more hours put into a business correlates with larger progress made, and every other entrepreneur is working 15 hour days, does that make your situation different to the rest? They’re your competition. Stay on their level, otherwise you won’t survive.
3. Money
Mark Cuban once said that people who start businesses on loans are fools, and I agree with him to a certain extent.
Obtaining a loan for a startup gives you a little more financial stability in the short term, and that cash isn’t something that you personally have to sacrifice, not all in one go anyway.
