W06 Reflection: Entrepreneurial Journal

This week was rather discouraging. Which I guess is goo practice? According to the study material anyways. Aside from detailing how difficult the life of an entrepreneur can be, there was a lot, and I mean a lot, of material on ways around, though, under and above all that. And even a little bit on the benefits.

As I look back and reflect on it all now, I find myself questioning my line of study here. I would love to help change the world. I do think the best way to do that is to put on the wolves clothing as it were. I mean, they did it to us, and my favorite counter strategy is using the force of an adversary against itself. Which interestingly correlates in some obscure ways to that Mastery book we’re doing a book report on soon. I already finished it. I found it a dull read but there were good points of information on how to change ourselves in there. The guy just droned on about his love for martial arts a bit much for my taste. But I’ve gotten off track.

To be an entrepreneur it seems is to be frustrated, stressed, tired and overloaded. I already knew this. But I am now remembering more clearly. I may have helped in the successful startups of a few companies but I was never the one at the heart of it. I don’t like 12 hour days and even as a CEO would not be found dead doing that. Much less 14 or 16. I do not believe man was made for that. To be awake for 16 hrs sure, but not endlessly stressed and overloaded trying to chase after monetary gain of all things. I believe in being at peace, in having just enough and helping others to do so. The study material I think as overdone it, or maybe the world in general has.

and that is exactly what I want to change. This mindset of always needing more, of it never being enough. Endlessly producing and selling. Why? This is my reflection this week. Why..
