The Lonely Journey of a Start up Entrepreneur

I must confess that the pains and struggles felt by a start up entrepreneur is not an easy one at all, it is one that is extremely difficult.
The truth is that, it is much more convenient to get your money and spend it on the things you need and want than investing it.
Investment takes time and effort, it takes wisdom and the ability to sacrifice lots of things, it also requires patience and skill.

Lots of start up business owners get loans from families and friends, in cases like this, may be a high profit rate is not required but when it has to do with getting loan from banks (that is if you get one) or other established institutions, the interest rate is usually even higher than the profit you get.
When people see individuals who have their own business, especially those who are not involved in the game, they view the business owners as people who have all that they want, but little do they know about the pains they have to go through and the sacrifices they have to make in order to make their business stand.

Sacrifices made by Start Up Entrepreneurs.

• Lots of entrepreneurs sacrifice the consumption of good food because they have to give all they have into the business to make it stand.

• Others sacrifice their ability to get proper rest, as a matter of fact they hardly have time for rest because they know that as much as money is required to make a business grow, time is as well required.

• As a business owner who wants the success of his or her business, ego must be sacrificed, in order to get the attention of your customers and please them, you will have to sacrifice your ego and give up your pride totally.
  Some customers will talk to you in ways that are not pleasing, but you have no choice than to plead with them and act calm with them for the sake of your business and the achievement of it's success.

• A young business owner sacrifices moments of pleasure and fun.

• A young business owner sacrifices lots of things that not everyone can see.
  So, the next time you see a start up business owner who is trying to survive, be nice to them and do not say words that will make them feel depressed because they are going through so much than you can imagine.
