The Struggles Of Being An Entrepreneur In The Network Marketing Industry
This article was written by my friend and business partner Jordan Adler. When I first read it almost two years ago, it literally caused me to well up as I could completely identify with Jordan’s words.
We’ve all experienced the struggles to some degree.
This folks, is why we do the things we do and make the sacrifices necessary to succeed in our industry. Enjoy!
Being An Entrepreneur
Being an Entrepreneur is tough but it has great rewards. Successful entrepreneurs call their own shots. They can make as much money as they want to. They can work as much or as little as they want to.
They get to exercise their creativity. They can work alone or with a team. They get to create their future . . .
As an Entrepreneur, I have been able to do things that 17 years in Corporate America wouldn’t afford me. I have traveled the world in private jets. I’ve eaten at the finest restaurants where each person dropped $500 per plate. I have friends in all 50 states and many around the world.
I’ve rented private yachts and cruised the canals in Amsterdam with over 50 people. I’ve stayed in Castles in Scotland, Drank beer in the pubs in Ireland and took a tour of Iceland.
Being an Entrepreneur has allowed me to live my dream life in the Mountains of Arizona where the air is mountain fresh and the hummingbirds buzz around my deck in the morning as I drink coffee as the cool morning breezes blow in from the valley.
Being an Entrepreneur is great. Its really great. But its also got some challenges and a price tag. Its a small price in retrospect, but when you are paying for it can be overwhelming.
Sometimes, in fact, many times, you question whether its worth it. Wondering whether you can pay the bills next month. Taking calculated risks knowing that things might not go in your favor. Risking bankruptcy. Losing some friendships (and even family) that never quite understand you. Losing Sleep. Stressing out. Wondering. Imagining. Creating.
It takes very special and rare qualities to succeed as an Entrepreneur. You do it even though you know some don’t make it. You do it knowing that you might not make it.
But you do it anyway, because you want the freedom it can give you. You want to control your destiny. You want pride of ownership. You want to be recognized. You don’t want to be told what to do. You want to make a difference.
