Life as an Entrepreneur

My thoughts on life as an entrepreneur:

Being an entrepreneur would provide me with the flexibility I desire while also allowing me to follow a strong passion. I am a very passionate person and would love to create more value doing something that I love. Being an entrepreneur to me also means striving to make this world a better place, even in a seemingly minimal way. We may feel like our small efforts aren’t worth something but if we persevere, we can accomplish big things. Being an entrepreneur makes me think of the little train that could. The train was tiny, the little train had never gone over the mountain before, let alone pulling a bunch of train cars with it, most other trains would have doubted the little trains ability to do so, and yet, the little train did it. The little, blue engine pulled the toy cars over the mountain all because she thought she could. There is so much that can be accomplished if we put our mind to it, and that’s what being an entrepreneur means to me.  Life as an entrepreneur would be difficult. During the difficult years, it would most likely put some strain on our family. Family time is important to me and a self-owned business is a stressful endeavor, and it becomes a family endeavor. That can be a harmful factor if the family is treated accordingly. I would always do my best to put my family first, as they are what are most important to me. Life as an entrepreneur would be time-consuming; if I feel like my life is busy now, I probably can’t even imagine how busy my life would be as an entrepreneur, especially starting out. I probably would be lacking on sleep, but I would be doing something that I love. I would find joy in my pursuits. I also imagine that I would make a lot of new friends in my endeavors, connecting with other entrepreneurs like me, especially other mom entrepreneurs. I feel like life as an entrepreneur would be difficult, yet also thrilling and satisfying.
