Are entrepreneurs happy with what they are doing?
There are a lot of assumptions about being an entrepreneur. Some would agree that being an entrepreneur gives you the time you want to do things you love. An entrepreneur means having the authority to make your own decision. Doing the things that you are passionate about. Successful entrepreneur will reap all the rewards in the form of satisfaction and monetary value.
Isn't these good enough to make you a happy entrepreneur!
But well, not to forget that being an entrepreneur is not an easy feat. Everything you heard about an ordinary man suddenly became an overnight millionaire is bullshit. Its very rare that such thing will happen overnight.
My very honest truth is that startup is not simple. When you first started, you'll suffer the day and night thinking about your business because no one else will think on your behalf. You are the decision maker for your business, whatever rise and fall of your business is all totally on you. No supervisors or bosses are going to back you up should something bad happens, you got to solve it anyway.
Now knowing all these, think again the same question...Are you happy now as an entrepreneur?

Oh hell yes! You are now doing something right from your passion. You have visualized your future and are halfway on the journey to invent your future. You are different from the typical 9-to5vers who are still making ends meet. You decide your own fate. What else is not to be happy about?
People always get the equation wrong. They assume that all the stress and problem of doing your own business is not making you happy. In fact, it makes you angry, or worse drives you mad. If you agree with those people, maybe you are not an entrepreneur. You're just someone who's trying to create a business to survive.
"True entrepreneurs are always happy at what they do, despite the troubles and stress they have to go through."
Have so many problems in your business? Well screw that. Bring it on! You're already halfway on your success journey, what's there to stop you??

4 Basic Rule Every Entrepreneur Should Practice
Every year there are thousands of entrepreneurs born and ready to rule the world. And almost (yes, I mean almost all) of these successful entrepreneurs practice these FOUR RULES of entrepreneurship. I called it MINO. The big four of MINO are: Motivation, Innovation, Networking and Opportunity.
Motivation
This is the ground rule of being an entrepreneur. Every one of us always have to start somewhere, and it is MOTIVATION that push us forward. What motivates you to be an entrepreneur? Is it passion? Freedom? Get away from regular corporate life? Or family?
You identify what is your motivation, and set a goal towards what drives you to be a successful entrepreneur. This is how you can reach where you want to be.

Sometimes when things become too easy, its where the hardest problem arise. When everyone are doing the same thing doesn't make you any different with other entrepreneurs out there. Millions of them!
Which is why we need innovation. How are we different from competitors? How to serve the customer the same thing in a different manner?
Before Facebook, MySpace and Friendster used to dominate the social networking world. But Facebook stands out due to innovation. The creation of 'Newsfeed' is proven to be something out of the world. Offering the same service with innovation. That's how Facebook stands out.
Networking

Networking can be done with anybody. Seriously! As an entrepreneur, you should always start by sharing your success or problems with your family or close friends. Listen to them, get their support, this is what keeps entrepreneurs going.

Even for some entrepreneurs, networking is parts and pieces of success in the business. Always know someone better than you and learn from experience of veterans who have 'been there, done that'.
“It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.” - Warren Buffett
Opportunity

Every entrepreneur will always have to start somewhere. Where did you begin your journey as an entrepreneur?

When an entrepreneur started their journey, its all because they have identify an opportunity. An unmet needs or new solution that can reach out to their customers. You could have all the motivation you can get, but without the opportunity to start a business, you are still standing at the beginning of the road.

1. MONEY WILL CONTROL YOU
2. YOU MAY SINK INTO STRESS AND DEPRESSION
Engineers, fund managers, investment bankers, and some of them work for long hours. 14 hours a day just to cover their asses in their job. If you are one of them, you may have received a 6-figure income pay check. But to what end? Unless you are doing it for the love and passion, else there is no point in life pulling into long hours of work, subsequently suffer depression and stress.
3. MONEY WON'T MAKE YOU HAPPY
4. CAN YOU CLIMB A HIGHER CORPORATE LADDER?
5. THERE IS ALWAYS A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH YOU EARN

5 reasons why working for money will FAIL you
"Money is usually attracted, not pursued"
Jim Rohn
So many times we have seen parents told their children to study and earn a better pay for a living. Robert Kiyosaki has many times educating audiences that school taught us the wrong advice. And according to my observation, I can't agree more with this. People have always been seeing it the different way.
Many entrepreneurs have already discovered the way to live a better life. Nonetheless, there are still people who continue to work full time. Sadly, doing it by working hard to pursue money for they think that working hard for money equates to happiness.
I will show 5 reasons why working for money will FAIL you, instead of planting you a success.

Sad truth behind this is that people constantly think THEY are the source of income. If you have the same thought let's assume this. When you fall sick, you cannot earn money. When you are on holidays, you are not going to earn money. Perfect example are doctors, lawyers, therapist, consultants...If you run a one-man company, then its even harder to manage. Money takes control of you. Without you = no money.

3. MONEY WON'T MAKE YOU HAPPY
Face it, money will never make you happy. You work harder for it, so that you can enjoy a better life. But if money is your goal, how do you even have time to enjoy that life? You work so hard to earn it, your time is wasted for all that. Happiness is grow from within, not earned from the outer layer. Work on something that makes you happy. When you do, you might not even care how much you are earning.

4. CAN YOU CLIMB A HIGHER CORPORATE LADDER?
Unless you have a have a crystal ball to predict future, else you have no certain way to see how far you can go in your career. Every step is a risk, as you grow older you are going to compete against many young graduates who has more time and energy than you. Pareto 80/20 rule. Only 20% of managers will control 80% of his/her subordinates. Now, if there are 100 employees in your company, you are going head to head with your co-workers and only 20 of them earns the throne. If you choose not to compete for that throne, you may risk your career line over younger staffs.
Working for people you will be limited to the amount you may earn. Company always secure a budget. You will never get to earn more than you want unless you're not as ambitious. Being an entrepreneur however, is a different story. Sky is the limit.
"Ridiculous yachts and private planes and big limousines won't make people enjoy life more, and it sends out terrible messages to the people who work for them. It would be so much better if that money was spent in Africa - and it's about getting a balance."
Richard Branson

These 10 signs will tell you are ready to quit your full-time job and venture into the entrepreneur's game.
- When you wake up in the morning, first thing you thought of it, "I don't want to go to work!"
- You start day dreaming in your office, thinking of whatever potential business you could have done if you're not working full time.
- You have the desire for this - independence, success, passion and hunger (NOT FOOD!)
- You want to show the world that you are different from most of them. *Pareto 80/20 Rule - 80% of the employees work for 20% of the business owners.
- You have identified an unmet need/solution, which has the potential to be launched as a business
- You do not have huge commitments that force you to stay on your full time job.
- Your family and spouse are supportive of your dream.
- When you have a circle of entrepreneur friends who have "been there, done that". Encouraging you to go for your dream.
- You understand that you are have to focus and work 200% harder than your current full time job.
- You are ready to take the risk, not fearing that you may lose it all should this entrepreneur dream fail you.
If you have 10 signs above, my friend, you are already an entrepreneur. You just didn't know it yet!
By the way we only live once in our lifetime, we should live the life we always wanted.
"Regretting not pursuing our passion is WORST than the regrets of failing one."
Step out there and change the world.
