You Have to Sacrifice Something

I haven’t met a single entrepreneur that didn’t sacrifice something when they were first starting out. Most often people give up a better paying job, health insurance, and retirement benefits but it usually goes much deeper than that.

Entrepreneurs often don’t have the freedom to “leave work at work”. I know many that are “always on” (myself included). They need to consciously force themselves to stop thinking about the work that they do because they enjoy it so much.

When you are trying to make ends meet as an entrepreneur it is also hard to give yourself time off because if YOU aren’t working than YOU aren’t getting paid or moving any closer to where you want to be.
Many others give up time with their family (the very reason a lot people think “working from home” is so great) or delay having kids entirely.

The same goes for owning a home. It’s much harder to get a loan these days when you are self-employed than if you are a typical salaried employee. Underwriters want to make sure you run a proven and profitable business over the past couple years.

And lastly, most entrepreneurs actually downgrade their lifestyle to work for themselves, not the other way around. They live with roommates or parents, eat ramen for dinner, or move to the cheapest countries in the world just so they can do work that matters.

All this to say: being an entrepreneur isn’t always glamorous.

You’ll need to give up something you want to do the work you are passionate about!!!.

Being An Entrepreneur is More About Sacrifice Than Freedom or Riches
People like to dream about what you get when you choose to become an entrepreneur.

An exciting lifestyle.
The freedom to travel.
Passive income.

But what about what you give up ?

Don’t forget to factor into those dreams all the sacrifices that one must make to become an entrepreneur.

You can’t wait to quit your 9 to 5, but you don’t realize that you are most likely replacing it with a 9 to 9 (and in some cases for 6 or 7 days a week).

You’re ready to take more vacations and work from anywhere, but if you don’t spend years hustling beforehand you won’t have the income to support it.

Even mobile phone app programmers and developers, which are in one of the hottest and fastest growing industries around, are still struggling to make a living .

Passion is the real drive

There is another element that really dwells at the center of any entrepreneur: passion! An entrepreneur possesses an interior fuel and stamina that drives his or her actions; this superior energy helps to overtake and surpass the different challenges and it injects strength to continue pursuing goals when difficulties arise. Anyone can be an entrepreneur and behave like one- regardless of whether or not they happen to be an equity holder. Ultimately, it’s all about the attitude when running the show.

Entrepreneurship is more than financial gains

We tend to associate entrepreneurship with direct financial benefits and risk, but not only when the entrepreneur has equity in the company, he or she is exposed to the financial upsides and downturns. Corporate ventures and corporate entrepreneurship allows “corporate entrepreneurs” to benefit of the upsides of their projects without having equity stakes.
Corporate entrepreneurship does exist

2. An entrepreneur is the driver. The entrepreneur is the person in charge, the leader and the person to look to for leadership. He or she is the one that pushes forward and inspires a team to follow. The entrepreneur is the one that sits in the driver’s seat, and has the ability to change direction, accelerate, slow down or even stop a venture.

3. An entrepreneur is accountable and responsible . entrepreneur is the ultimate responsible for the destiny of its venture, which can be a company, a project, or any other endeavor. The entrepreneur is the one that has the highest stakes at the venture, thus the one that needs to be empowered to fully direct the endeavor.

1. An entrepreneur is a starter. An entrepreneur is an initiator, a challenger and a driver. Someone that creates something new, either an initiative, a business or a company. He or she is the beginning (and sometimes the end) of a venture, project or activity. The entrepreneur might not be the ideator, but he or she is definitely the one that decides to make that idea a reality.

The question is.... WHO IS AN ENTREPRENEUR?

Hello NL,

Alright, 2 weeks ago i created a thread on the Ideal and Safest way to Withdraw your PayPal Funds at the Standard bank rate: https://www.nairaland.com/2347095/ideal-safest-way-get-paypal

Today, i will be talking about the Ideal and Safest way to Withdraw your Perfect Money Funds. We all know that Perfect Money does not really have a direct way to Withdraw Money(Although it does) but it does not really favor Nigerians like that. So Nigerians result into using Exchangers. It was so funny when i saw a thread about a guy saying he sell Perfect Money for 180 and people called him fraud because its suppose to be 230 or so. Lol, what a Joke! Why can't we withdraw our perfect money funds at the standard bank rate? After all, Perfect Money did not officially stipulate any exchange rate!

Lets get down to business! If you have funds in your perfect money account, lets say $500 for example and you need to get this money out. You can safely get this money in your bank account at no exchange rate at all because your bank account is a dollar account and if its not, then it will be at the standard and official CBN bank rate! Not the rate of one exchanger looking to make his profit! I got a mail from LHPay that perfect money is now accepted on LHPay. Just like i stated in the PayPal thread, same goes for Perfect Money.

- Obtain an LHPay Merchant Account (https://lhpay.net/mpp/apply)
- Fund your LHPay Account using Your Perfect Money
- Withdraw to your bank account!

Its so simple and fast! It should not take more than 24 hours!

You can even transfer funds from your LHPay account to your PayPal account that is like transfering from Perfect Money to PayPal. I.e when you fund with Perfect Money, transfer it to your PayPal account.

Business is easy with LHPay.
