Top 4 Reasons Why People Don’t Want To Become an Entrepreneur

By Samuel

Many people love to be an entrepreneur but due to one reason or the other they find it difficult to become an entrepreneur. Little did they know that if they want to have a real life, they should be an entrepreneur.

I’m sure most of you might be saying that, if everybody should become an entrepreneur who else will remain in the world? The fact is, not everybody will be an entrepreneur, it’s not today the word”Entrepreneurship” has been in existence.

Entrepreneurship had been in existence before I was born. I’m sure many people who were born by that time must have heard about the world entrepreneurship? And they must have known the cons and pros of entrepreneurship? So if I may ask you, why didn’t they become an entrepreneur?

Only few who want to have a real life will become an entrepreneur. If I should keep preaching from today till tomorrow only few will listen and little will take action.

When Jesus was sent to preach to the masses in order to change their ways and believe in God, is it all those he preached to that listen to him? Or is it all those he preached to that believe in GOD? No! Not all of them follow his path.

In this post I will be talking about the reasons why people don’t want to become an entrepreneur; below are the reasons:

Scared Of What People Will Say
Most of the people who want to become an entrepreneur are scared to do so because they are scared of what people will say about their new mission.

These kinds of people get influenced easily by external forces. By the way, why should you pay your mind to people who will never for once give you the right mindset or the confidence to try out new things in your life? If you are the kind of person who is always scared of what people will say when trying to explore new things in life, then you can’t go far.

I see this entrepreneurship game as an adventure, so when I fail I will rise up and learn from my mistakes. Also, I will always try to stay faithful to the process.

When I made up my mind to become an entrepreneur, many people laughed at me and saying all sort of rubbish about the route I’m taking. But one thing I noticed in them is that, they also feel like transitioning but the fear in them is pulling them backward so they try to cover up their fears and pretend as if they know nothing.

If you really want to become an entrepreneur and you are sure that you really want to become an entrepreneur, pay no mind to what people will say and follow your gut. You came into this world alone so I see no reason why you should follow the crowd by default.

I’m urging you to follow your gut and don’t be scared of what people will say. See, in this life, people are meant to talk and you can’t stop them, you just have to do your thing in your own way and switch on the “pay no mind mode” to what people will say.

They See It As A Waste Of Time
Many people do think that starting a business is a waste of time. Even if you continue to tell them the fact, they will never listen.

People who are fond of saying that “starting a business is a waste of time” are people who are scared of what the outcome will be. The people in this category are mostly old people. Most of them have families to take care of and they can’t endure when the business is not booming.

Well the advise I can give to this kind of people is to start a part-time business, and as times goes on, I mean when the business start getting traction they can become a full-time entrepreneur.

So if you think that starting a business is a waste of time, I guess seeking for a job won’t be a waste of time for you. Keep searching and may God help you through!

They Believe In High Paying Job With Benefits
These kinds of people believe in high paying job with good benefits. I’m not saying that seeking for a high paying job with good benefits is not good. But what if things change and you are no more getting the huge pay check you used to get at the end of the month?

The company you are working for today might have a huge problem tomorrow, and there’s no guarantee that you will still be getting the huge paycheck! The world of jobs is very competitive, a young post-graduate might challenge your position in the company you’re working for and instead of your boss to give you a promotion letter, he will not do that until you go to school and earn more degree before he can have mercy on you. But for the young post-graduate, he will automatically give the young employee the promotion and you will get doomed.

Those people who believe in high paying jobs with good benefits are the kind of people who cherish luxuries so much. Though everybody cherish luxuries but the rate at which these kinds of people cherish it is beyond normal (or am I exaggerating?). They love living large and they believe that the huge paycheck will keep coming in every month.

When the huge paycheck stops coming in or they get laid off from their jobs, that’s when they will consider starting their own business. And when they get into the business world they end up liquidating, thinking that God has not favored them.

These are the kind of people who end up seeking for any kind of job and after some time, they end up like Poor Dad!

So if you are thinking that seeking for a job with high benefits will make you have a real life, then go ahead. Wish you good luck!

Not Ready To Take On A Short Term Pain For A Long Term Gain
People are damn too lazy; most of the people who say that business is a waste of time are people who are not ready to take on a short term pain for a long term gain.

I can’t lie to you, building a successful business empire requires hard work and persistence. If you can’t give it what it takes to build a successful business then you are not fit to be an entrepreneur.

Before making up my mind to become an entrepreneur, I know I will come across different obstacles but that doesn’t stop me from moving on. I know that I will only be taking on a short term pain for a long term gain. So any obstacles I’m facing today will definitely pass away. The more you think about it, the more fear you impose in yourself.

So if you are ready to take on a short term pain for a long term gain, then you are welcome on board! I owe you a handshake

Conclusion:

I’m not saying that you should become an entrepreneur by all means, besides entrepreneurship is not meant for everyone. But if you think you want to become an entrepreneur and you want to have a real life, then you are welcome on board. Life is damn too short to bother ourselves about it. Follow your gut and be yourself.
