Business Advice – Running a business is HARD


running a business is hard I get people
right into me all the time telling me
how hard it is to run their business you
know you don’t have the money you don’t
have resources you don’t have contacts
people give excuses they say though I’m
too old I’m too young i’m not from North
America I didn’t grow up at an
entrepreneurial family I don’t have
money you know I’m disabled I’m a woman
you know people come up with all these
excuses none of that stuff matters yeah
it’s hard running the business it’s
really really hard I don’t know why you
think it’s easy this is going to be the
hardest thing you ever do in your life
it’s hard there’s gonna be a lot of crap
thrown at you and this is where you find
out about yourself this is where you
learn are you the kind of person who
shrinks when you come and go up against
something difficult or do you rise to
the challenge I got an email from one of
my newsletter readers Sam who wrote in
to say hi Evan I’m 23 years old I don’t
have a lot of money you know I was
employed at a company and I had an
accident and I heard my arm I want to
make a difference though set up my own
macquarie in business how can I overcome
the challenges that I have to achieve
that dream okay so you’re young you
don’t have any money and you hurt your
arm I don’t know how badly you hurt your
arm I’m really you know sorry to hear
that if i had a way to turn that thing
around i would but it doesn’t matter you
know that might sound heartless that
might sound rude but the fact that
you’re young the fact that you don’t
have money the fact that you hurt your
arm does not impact you being a success
because you can find people you can you
look at famous entrepreneurs you look at
the people who made it big you look at
their background they overcame crazy
odds the people will get it handed to
them they never take off you look at who
the most successful people are you look
at where they came from it’s usually
nothing nobody all the problems your
time no money immigrant woman yeah
different country you know all the
things you think are problems these are
tests for you the people who get it
handed to them who have all the
advantages you look what they do with
their life it’s usually nothing great
the second generation of
third-generation entrepreneurs where
they are handed a business from their
parents handed everything to them in the
silver platter that’s when the company
starts to tank it’s the founder the
person came from nothing who overcame
all those problems those are the people
who take off and they had all the same
problems that you have so this is just
an excuse this is a story you tell
yourself and you have two options okay
this is why it’s important because a lot
of people come up against this point
this is a defining moment for you okay
you hurt your arm and I’m sorry for that
you have two choices you either live the
rest of your life saying I couldn’t do
it because my arm I couldn’t do it cuz
of my arm I wish I could have built this
aquarium but I couldn’t because of my
arm or you keep going and you say I
built my dream who cares about my arm

your left are in the building aquarium
