2020: I thought entrepreneurship was easy.
2025: I push through 15-hour days to keep going.
When COVID hit, I caught the entrepreneur bug.
I had years of industry experience.
I was skilled, confident, and ready to build something big.
So, I jumped in:
I started my business.
I hired a team.
I planned a life of freedom and delegation.
I thought clients would come instantly.
I thought my team would just ‘get it.’
I was wrong.
↳ My team didn’t meet expectations
↳ They left. Again and again.
↳ I spent months training people.
↳ Only to watch them walk away.
And then, reality hit me like a truck:
No one was coming to save me.
So, I did the only thing I could. I worked harder than ever.
→ 12-hour days.
→ 13-hour days.
→ 15-hour days.
The same business I built to ‘buy my freedom’ had turned me into its hardest-working employee.
But here’s the thing:
That struggle taught me more than any success ever could.
It made me:
→ More resilient.
→ Smarter about hiring.
→ Unshakable in my belief.
And that’s the lesson I want to share:
Entrepreneurship isn’t a straight line. Some succeed fast. Some take years. Some never make it.
But the real question isn’t if you’ll struggle.
It’s what you’ll do when you do.
So, if you feel stuck right now, remember:
You can either let failure break you or let it make you.
Keep going. Don’t quit.
You’re just one lesson away from your breakthrough.
PS:
Reshare if this resonated. Let’s talk about the real side of entrepreneurship.
