An entrepreneur argues that the real reward isn't the dream car or the money, but the struggle itself: the sleepless nights, the cash-flow scares, the urge to quit. The hardship forges who you become.
Let me spoil the ending of entrepreneurship for you. I'm sorry for what I'm about to tell you, but that goal that you have in mind, that car that you wanna drive, that house that you wanna live in, that financial amount that you want in your bank account is not gonna feel as good as you think it will. But what will feel as good and what you're gonna start to see as you mature in this entrepreneurship journey is that the enjoyment comes from the journey. The enjoyment comes from the struggle. The enjoyment comes from the problems that you will face trying to reach that financial goal, trying to reach that level of freedom, trying to reach not having to work a 9 to 5 anymore, trying to reach the next financial milestone that you have for your business. It's the struggle, it's the journey that is the real gift of entrepreneurship. It's those long nights, it's those stressful days, it's those times when you're on 3, 4 calls trying to solve a problem. It's those days where you almost run out of money, but you somehow make it out. It's those times where you honestly wanna fucking quit, but you know that quitting is not an option because you know what's gonna happen if you quit, but you don't know what's gonna happen if you keep going. That is the real joy. That is the real gift. That is the real cupcake of entrepreneurship. It's not the end goal. It's not the lifestyle that you see on the internet of jet skis, steak dinners, high rises in Miami, that is not the end goal. The end goal is the journey to get there. Now, still gotta do it though. I mean, you still gotta work after watching this video. So sorry, buddy, I ruined it for you, but whatever.
