You are correct. I have my eyes set on something much bigger than me. It's something that's been a part of me ever since I was a little kid. The idea of letting it go or not living up to it and any of my dreams is just non-existent. I think superiority complex is a solid way to define this feeling. The desire to go beyond expectations, and the confidence in one's abilities to do so.You seem to have the energy and determination to know exactly what you want—two crucial components for success. I didn't mean any harm by mentioning the ego aspect. I wanted to highlight that ego can be a controversial factor in entrepreneurship. It's important up to a certain level, as it serves as a driving force. However, exceeding that level can lead to burnout, disappointment, and a loss of interest and joy when you find that great success is almost impossible and requires so much luck.
Keep in mind that most of people here are not successful entrepreneurs so far (or we would be busy with our thriving business, lol). However, they undoubtedly possess valuable experiences and knowledge due to a long journey of ventures- for most of us. I would not absorb any discouragement because you can't trust it but learn from the NOT-TO-DO things leant in the hard way, since the people with the to-do advices are probably too busy to read your post . Good luck!
Great success, certainly, is impossible for the one who believes so. After all, how can one achieve something he doesn't believe exists?
I personally refuse to accept the potential for total failure and unfulfillment. Could be argued that it could lead to disappointment. I argue it's a driver.
Quoting you:
"However, they undoubtedly possess valuable experiences and knowledge due to a long journey of ventures- for most of us. I would not absorb any discouragement because you can't trust it but learn from the NOT-TO-DO things leant in the hard way"
That is a great statement. I agree. Learning from mistakes is a part of the journey. Mistakes help shape the person we become.
Thanks for the reply, and apologies for taking my time with mine.
Bring it on and have a rad one.
Simon.
