25 Jul Getting Back From the Edge of F**K it? Part 1
F**K it -- I want to talk to entrepreneurs - I started my first business in 7th grade -- I have been an entrepreneur ever since. I can tell you one sure thing -- You will find more ways to fail than succeed. This is not an easy lifestyle --
You can easily become discouraged. People don't pay or they don't pay on time -- Your employees' lives and that of their families are in your hands -- Your family well-being is in your hands. The stress and pressure is immense. As a result, you become careful, you stop innovating and you stop taking risks. You often find yourself between give up and I quit.
But every once in a while you find yourself in a place called F**k it.
This is a dark place -- You see I give up --means I give up on this idea -- I give up on this situation -- I will let it turn itself around. If I quit -- means -- I am no longer going to do this- Let me close down -- pack up my stuff and move on to something else. F**k it is different -- F**k it means -- You no longer care if it works or it doesn't work. You don't care about the company -- the employees -- the products -- the clients-- and probably the most hideous part is you don't care what happens to yourself.
This is a hard place to be -- Empty -- Heartbroken -- Depressed -- Suicidal -- Questioning yourself -- Questioning God (if you are a believer). How did I get so far out here that I see no other opportunity for existing?
I know -- I am there -- but I am on my way out. And in my next installment - I'll tell you how I came back from the edge of F**k it. Have You Ever been in this place???
