This is an article about “Three Brutally Honest Lessons About Entrepreneurship.” Although I thought that all three of the lessons were valuable–“Get started;” “Success is about the journey, not how rich you get;” and “Don’t avoid failure-embrace it”– I found the first lesson to resonate the most with me. (See Article). The first lesson is to “get started:” the author notes that people often “wait for the perfect time” to start something. Id. However, “the perfect time never happens.” Id. I think this is absolutely true. So many get entranced with waiting for the perfect time, and then they end up never starting, or starting after a long delay and much wasted time. Sometimes, you just have to dive in and get going.
It reminds me of Ernest Hemingway’s advice about how to become a writer: “Write as well as you can, and finish what you start.”
BOOM.
I believe that the third lesson of “Don’t avoid failure-embrace it” resonated with me the most because I tend to run away from my failures and have these cringe moments which makes me avoid the unsuccessful means in my life. If I am able to embrace these failures I can learn from them and improve myself and my business.
