Look around you, there are more entrepreneurs than icecream vendors now. It’s nice to be an entrepreneur, and obviously everyone can be one, if they desire.. and work on it. But seems like most people just desire to be one, and become one.. in their own imaginary world. Let me clarify..

aspiring Model isn’t same as a Model

aspiring Actress isn’t same as an Actress

similarly, aspiring Entrepreneur isn’t the same as an Entrepreneur

Entrepreneur, is quite a distinct being. Every entrepreneur has a story to tell, a success story, or a success story gone wrong, but they are the people who initiate something, try to make a change, who succeed, or fail or are in the process of finding it out. But so many people simply aspire to be one like them, and start calling themselves as entrepreneurs.

Unlike doctors and engineers, it is not so easy to be an Entrepreneur. There is no degree or diploma, certificates or colleges which can make you an Entrepreneur. And no.. if tomorrow you write in your Twitter Bio “- a student, gamer and Entrepreneur”, even that won’t make you one. So what does it take to be an Entrepreneur???????

Its BUSINESS.

An Entrepreneur is a person who starts his own Business, leads it and directs it. Have you done that? Have you even tried doing it? If Yes, great, nice to meet you.. if No, then please stop making a fool of yourself calling yourself an Entrepreneur.

Problem is when you already think that you have achieved it, you might work lesser or may not work at all to achieve it. Besides, there is nothing wrong with being an aspirant, everyone is one at a time and that is also a phase of the process. Its a good thing as long as we don’t confuse it completely and delude ourselves to believe that we have achieved what we aspired for.

..but saying YES and not doing it later might affect my trust on you negatively. I know many good people who find it to hard to say No simply because they feel it will sound rude. Saying No is very crucial at times and NO it doesn’t sound rude at all. No doesn’t always mean rejection, sometimes it means that “I am unable to do it for you for whatever reasons, and instead of wasting your time persuading me, go find someone else”, which is actually a good advice.

Maybe you really really want to do that for me, but you can’t. Say No to me, I WILL understand, or maybe you make me understand. Maybe cause you lack resources or don’t have time or are in middle of some process or are preoccupied with other work, but you still want to do it for me, but ultimately can’t. Saying No will save time and trust between both of us. Best No is the quickest No you can give to me, will save me energy and time. I would also appreciate if you could rather give me a No like, “I can’t do that for you, but you should check-out with Tom, Dick and Harry”. There you got an opportunity to help build my network, initiating a connection between two people, thereby earning some good karma, which will comeback two fold to you (one from my end, and second from the other connection).

Sometimes No is the solution, and we should use it then, but also be cautious that you are not using it for the easy way out. People are not fools. Being genuine is the key to good relationships.

If you help me now, next time when you need something that I can do, I might do it for you.

If you don’t help me now, next time when you need something that I can do, I will mostly probably not do it for you.

If you have a track record of ditching me everytime I need some help from you, next time when you need my help, I won’t help you for sure.

And this is not the way how I think, this is how almost everyone thinks. So think twice before saying No to some potentially helpful person.

Hi

How are you today? I hope you are good. I am not, not lately.

Most people know me as a passionate guy with great will power. But things have not been the same lately.

I used to think that stress, anger and depression are something that need not to be bothered about, and one can moderate them oneself if they want to, but I have started to feel that it’s not the case anymore for me.

I have realized that these mood disorders are hindering in my productivity. Infact, I am going through the worst era of my productive life. I read less, concentrate less, sleep less, relax less, work less,… and stress more, anger more, anxious more, depress more…

I started making excuses to myself, I deluded myself that I am doing the best I can. All this time I was surrounded by clouds of nothingness, my mind has become a black hole.

Good thing is I have found the cause of this issue. Some choices I made past year, which felt like the best thing to do at that time, now seems like the worst mistake of my life. But now that I know it, I am taking that cancer and removing it from myself physically and morally, for once and for all. It hurts a lot to do so, but I am doing it anyway.

However, the stress has risen to a whole next level, putting me through not only mental, but physical pain, which now seems like not so easy to cope with alone. So, I am looking for some medical help with a psychiatrist.

I know I will get over this problem too, just like always, I just hope to get rid of this fast, just like always .

Lucky are the people who are insane. They see the world the way they want to see. They see other insane people and see themselves in them. Ignorance is bliss.

Lucky are the people who are fools. For they have little mind to understand how things work, and have made themselves understand that nothing is under their control. They learn to be happy with what they have.

Lucky are the people who are irresponsible. Since it is easier to be consistently irresponsible than it is to be responsible. Its not them who suffer, the people who suffer because of them are often the people who care about them.

Lucky are the people who are selfish. For they have more than one person in the world who thinks only about them.

Everyone else is unlucky.
