Some years ago I would have never thought of being an entrepeneur, not even part-time.
First I want to think about the reasons why I didn´t see entrepeneurship as an alternative.
- Financial risk. There is no guarantee of the monthly income. Especially in the beginning of starting a business.
- A lot of work. This is the second thought about entrepeneurship, it requires a lot of work. And how do you find free time? Do you have to work all the time?
- Stress. How to handle stress?
- And last but not least. All the paperwork!
How did my thoughts about entrepeneurship change? I think the change happened after remote work started due to Covid-19, and I understood that I had to find a different way to work. And a routine. After all it wasn´t that hard.
Another thing was that I started studies, which were very independent. In a short time a lot of programs and some coding had to be learnt beside daytime work. It required hard work.
Some evenings I just wished that some one could have told me how to code. Now afterwards I am happy that no one did! I had to search and try, which helped me to learn. This is a process, to learn how to find and understand information.
After all, I realized, that I am capable of a lot more than I could ever have thought of. Stepping out of the comfort zone has been great. Hey, I can do some technical things too! A lot of things can be learnt by searching information and using it for learning.
Now my thoughts of entrepeneurship is:
- Freedom. The possibility to learn and invent. To do your own decisions. Decide how to use your time.
- Inspiration. Can it be possible to do things, that you enjoy doing? As an entrepeneur you can build a business of your hobbies for example.
- Paperwork. Yes, I can do it. It´s not that bad, and if needed some one else can do it.
- Financial risk. Yes, you never know if your business will be successful.
Now I can only write about experiences as a part-time entrepeneur.
What do you think about entrepeneurship?
