While we might like to think that everyone can pursue the dream of being their own boss, setting their own hours, and doing whatever they want- it just doesn’t work for most people. Entrepreneurship isn’t for everyone. Chances are you probably aren’t cut out for it – and there’s nothing wrong with this. Not everyone is cut out to be a gymnast, or a rock star, or an accountant either.

Passion doesn’t necessarily make things that much easier either. Let’s say you love baking cookies so much you quit your 9-to-5 so you could do that for a living. You might make the tastiest, most mind-blowing cookies out there – but how passionate are you about accounting, marketing, management, supplies acquisition, and all of the thousands of other tasks associated with a business? There might even be days you won’t be making cookies at all because you need to work on so many other things. If you think you’re too good for those things or if you won’t admit you need help with them – then you’re going to be in a world of hurt.

Being an entrepreneur requires tenacity, self-control, and a realistic knowledge of your limits above everything else –knowledge is secondary. Before you argue this point, think about it this way: why do most businesses still fail, even when there are now more resources than ever before to help us start and maintain almost any kind of venture? Knowledge alone can only help up to a point. The correct mindset matters so much more.

Few things are ever ideal or certain for start-ups – especially information. No one can possibly know everything that could potentially affect their business. This is where your ability to analyze and take risks comes in. Risk-taking is a huge part of running any business. If you don’t know handle risk –and consequences- you simply won’t succeed.

We had to bring up “consequences” because it’s pretty likely you will eventually get set back in some way.  Failure is inevitable. But failure happens to all entrepreneurs. Knowing how to go on after failure is just as important as learning from it. If you feel like failure is something that won’t ever happen to you, then you’ll likely have to check your ego at the door.

To make things worse for new entrepreneurs, there is absolutely no guarantee of financial security that you would have as an average employee. Emotional and mental breakdowns are almost a given for most people who try to start their own business.  Most people can’t cope with this. For some, it might actually be downright irresponsible to give up this security.

But if you have the determination, the emotional control, and the humility – there are few things that could compare to building your own business from the ground up. But if you lack any of these, nothing else – not even knowledge- would matter.
