What do you like most and the least about being an entrepreneur?

Question

The coin has two sides. Another interpretation: we, humans, have various angles of view. 🙂 Many people (founders, entrepreneurs, makers, or marketers) can taste sweeter or bitter activities. What things do you find the most exciting and the least exciting? ---------- 👍 I like the variability of activities I can do and situations I can learn from. 👎 I do not like the bureaucracy around that.

What I love the most is the freedom—the freedom to be yourself, to set your own schedule, choose where you work from, and pick the people you work with.

I love the ability to work on projects that excite me and to focus on areas and things I find personally interesting.

What don’t I like? The sacrifice of time. Missing out on the little joys of life—family gatherings, going out with friends (though let’s be honest, there's a certain charm in that, despite what the "gurus" say). It’s not that I don’t do those things now, but just in smaller doses.

Freedom to build your vision! Worst? The constant rollercoaster of highs and lows. Gotta love the hustle:)

I think a lot of makers would agree with me that the most exciting and enjoyable times are when planning and especially when building.

Ironically, and as critical as it is, I don’t like launching! You somehow have to convince yourself that you’re done for now, it’s good and it’s enough, and then try to convince others. I don’t like getting in my own way!

@busmark_w_nika Thanks! Yeah, just figured out the emoji thing :D

Being in business just feels normal. Haven't got a fancy degree or trade. Still work part-time for stability, and the money I make from business is all in savings, letting it compound.

What about you? How'd you get started in business?

@moumen_hamid But it is better to throw away this kind of mindsetting :D

Business Marketing with Nika · Answer

@byalexai For the first point, I would say yes, but not completely yes, because you need to sync the schedule with other peeps and according to circumstances (which can be pretty complicated sometimes even with a good time management) :D
