Being a first time entrepreneur can be very intimidating.
It’s a lot like going abroad , because everything is so unfamiliar , and you don’t understand the language . It’s very easy to burn your fingers, because there are lots of predators around to take advantage of your immaturity and naivete.
This is a foreign land , which is filled with new norms , new jargon , and new traditions . It can be hard to find your way in a new location if you don’t know how to ask and where to look . It’s easy to get lost without a map and a GPS.
You need to decide if you want to be a tourist, or a traveller who is willing to get off the beaten track.
The good news is that this pain can be avoided with a little help and guidance, and the saving grace for most new entrepreneurs in the numerous fellow entrepreneurs who have travelled the same path you are on.
Please remember that you are not alone in your struggle ! Ask for help – and please offer it as well.
This is the only way the ecosystem will grow – if we take care of each other.
Entrepreneurship can be a life-changing experience , and the good news is that you don’t have to do it all by yourself
