Startups Are Just A Walk In The Park

I like walking in the park, it's refreshing and gives you the opportunity to reflect on your thoughts. . . . . Now starting up a business is definitely not a walk in the park, whoever assumed or said it was, is simply naive.

There is a lot of planning that goes into starting up a business, from the concept stage when your developing your idea, to turning it into a product or service to then having to market and sell your products to customers can be very challenging and very demanding, you've got to believe in yourself as well as your product/service and brand, you've got to manage your expectations, be patient and show persistence as over time your perseverance will pay off, you've got to be dedicated and put in the work and effort your dreams deserve as you'll only get back what you put in, you've got to network and brand yourself in the right way so you reflect your brand image and the list goes on and on.

You will go back and forth to the drawing board over and over again, however when you achieve success that sense of satisfaction will be all worth it.

PS: the only people who find running easy are the ones that have done it for a while and have a plan in mind, for a new starter it can be very difficult, however with some dedication and effort you'll get there, just like you'll get there when you start up your business, aim high and dream big. Good luck!

Don't be this GUY

I spent my whole life chasing money, if you ask me I'd say I'm not money motivated, if you asked somebody that knows me they'll say I am.

I understand and appreciate what money can bring to you, it can give you the things you've never had or always wanted in life.

The problem is sometimes we can get so fixated on a number that our minds shut out everything else around us and we forget to live, the journey we are on, the people that are around us and the moments we can have or share as time ticks away.

Always remember why you started your journey, what made you start and what your end goal was, look at the bigger picture. If you wanted a pair of Nike Air Max trainers because you've never had a pair, you’re not going to tell your friends about the £110 you've paid for them, instead you'd be telling them about your NEW Nike Air Max trainers and how comfortable and clean/fresh they look. That's the satisfaction you’re chasing!! Money is not the be all and end all of life, it is simply a catalyst that speeds the process up, money can't buy happiness, love or success, it can help you on the way to getting there but don't let it end your life. 

Money comes and money goes over time! Time is something you can't get back no matter how much money you've got, use it wisely, build a legacy, have something to show for your time, energy and effort that lasts once the race is over!!!
