Entrepreneurs don’t want to work
Posted on May 10, 2007
This title should at least bring me some angry 18 working hours a day entrepreneurs. How can I say that exactly the same people who don’t sleep entire nights thinking of their businesses, the same people that suffer from entrepreneurship stress, the same people that make things to move don’t want to work?
There are many reasons why people go for Entrepreneurship: get rich, have your own working hours, having a boat, make something for yourself or for your children, pride and self accomplishment. These are the main reasons and the driving forces behind any entrepreneur, that keep him working during nights, during weekends and holidays. Hell, I (as an Entrepreneur) write this blog by night or in weekends, while keeping my day job as well.
OK, but most of the reasons above can be translated in “I don’t want to work”.
Get rich. What’s the point (besides owning expensive stuff) of getting rich? Not working.
Have your own working hours. Right, you just don’t want to work unless you feel like working.
Having a boat. Ok, the boat might be important as a thing to own, but at a different level, it means having time for sailing. I mean, not working.
Make something for your children. Yes, you want to be able to give them the option of … not working.
Pride and self accomplishment. Hm, no, in this case you really want to work.
Some time ago, Dane Carlson from Business Opportunities Weblog said based on my writings: Entrepreneurs have a better stand of mind. You need to have a special mind state to keep on going as an Entrepreneur.
Is the illusion that somehow, someday you will not have to work anymore.
PS: just wondering if I’m still writing interesting stuff - nobody seems to do any trackbacks to my blog anymore… But hey, maybe I will win, maybe I will lose by writing (in the battle of not working) and that makes me an Entrepreneur!
