You owe it yourself to try!

If you've ever thought about running your own business but for whatever reason were too afraid to take the jump, you owe it to yourself to at least investigate it. At least look into it. Because otherwise you could be making one of the biggest mistakes of your life and missing out on a huge opportunity. Hi, I'm Evan Carmichael, your friend in all things entrepreneurship, and I want to tell you a little bit of a story of how I got started. When I was really young, I didn't have any role models to look up to, to say, I want to be like you, I want to be an entrepreneur. Everybody in my family had traditional corporate jobs, and that's what I wanted to be growing up. I had my own little ventures, you know, when you're really young. I sold baseball cards, I joined Junior Achievement, we created our own little, you know, company programs and sold products. But when I graduated high school, when they asked me, what did you want to be in 10 years, where do you see yourself, I wrote down that I'd be a VP at some bank. How boring is that? And it wasn't until university where I connected with two of my friends who had a business and invited me to join that I really considered entrepreneurship as a career path. And I wonder what would have happened if I didn't I didn't talk to those two friends. What would have happened to me? Would I have joined the banking ranks, be on my career path? Because once you get started, it's really hard to jump off and do your own thing afterwards. The further along you are, the more difficult it is to jump and want to do your own thing. You may want to do it, but it's a lot scarier. You have more responsibilities. You have more of a track record already built up at your company. And I really am grateful that they asked me to join their business and I discovered this world of entrepreneurship because I didn't have a huge exposure to it before. And I'm, I'm so happy that I didn't go and join the corporate ranks. I can't imagine what my life would look like if I did. And so for you, if you've ever thought about entrepreneurship, if you're trying to figure out what you want to do with your life, at least explore it. Entrepreneurship isn't for everybody. It's hard. It's going to be one of the hardest things you ever do in your life. You know, it's not easy for sure. There's a lot of benefits, but there's a lot of cons to it too. But at least educate yourself. Read some books, watch some videos, go meet entrepreneurs and what they're up to, and see if that's the lifestyle that you want. And if you are already an entrepreneur, Take some responsibility and teach other people about it. Expose them to the world of business because we don't learn enough about it in our schools and university where we're trained to go get jobs. And you can't blame other people for that. You know, you have to take your own personal responsibility. Take accountability. If you're interested in learning about it, go learn about it. If you are an entrepreneur and you think it was the best decision you ever made in your life, Teach other people about it. Let them know what you're up to. Expose them to that world. You can help make a difference in their lives as well. Thank you for watching this video. If you guys enjoyed it, please give it a thumbs up below. I always seen— I love seeing them come in.
