Let me give it to you straight: ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS NOT FUN. It’s blood, sweat and tears all day long. It’s trying 10x and succeeding once. It’s giving everything up for your dreams. It’s a long haul of frustration. It’s not some way to get rich quick and live happily ever after. If you believe that, you’re delusional. Entrepreneurship is a lifestyle. It’s something you are born as. You can’t “become” an entrepreneur. You either are one or you aren’t. You just KNOW. It’s a feeling in your soul that you usually start to feel when you’re just a kid and want to make money. Lemonade stands, door to door sales, the works. If you did that and you loved it? Baby, you’re an entrepreneur! If you’re entreprener, you know: It ain’t a fucking joke. Being an entrepreneur is hard work. It’s a lot of work. It’s sometimes frustrating work. But you know that it’s who you are. So you embrace it, even when it sucks. And because entrepreneurship is a crazy fucking ride, it can be easy to fall into the trap of thinking it’s all fun and games. You can just create a product, and a funnel, set up some FB ads, and then you’re rich and free and don’t have to lift a finger practically ever … HA! Not. Even. Close. To. Being. Correct. Don’t believe the hyped up “ease and flow, ease and flow!” content you see out there. Don’t listen to the people who tell you that everything is so fucking easy, because that’s a bullshit lie. I’m not saying it can’t be easy, but it’s not ALWAYS easy....
