This is the one that no one talks about, and it hits harder than the rest. Life. Entrepreneurship doesn't happen in a vacuum, but the internal factors, what I call the seasons of life. You might have the resources, the time, the energy to start a business today, but you might have some obligations outside of work that are really important that will limit your time commitment to this new business. We must take care of important relationships, whether it's your children, whether it's aging parents, someone in our household who is struggling with addiction, handle those and take care of those. And then when you're freed up, go out and focus all of your energy on that business. Then find ways to allocate time, mental capacity, mental space, and resources to kick it off and get back into the grind once you have taken care of the important relationships that you have in your own personal life.
