53. First Generation Entrepreneurship: What it Takes When Your Loved Ones Don't Get It
When you're the first person in your family and circle of friends to become a fulltime entrepreneur, it can be easy to feel deeply misunderstood. Most people who are not entrepreneurs do not always understand the risks involved, the rejection you must endure, or the failure required to succeed. When you share these aspects of your journey with your innermost circle, sometimes their initial reaction is to protect you from these seemingly "dangerous" aspects of business, which can come off as unsupportive.
In today's episode I'm unpacking a profound conversation I had with my therapist regarding being the first person in my immediate family and inner circle of friends to become an entrepreneur.
We'll discuss:
- Breaking through your family's definition of success
- Choosing the path of entrepreneurship after being on the path of traditional professional success as a teacher and employee
- How to unlearn the deeply embedded codes of the professional workforce paradigms in order to stay the course as an entrepreneur
- The non-negotiable required for every entrepreneur to obtain success
- Why my therapist says no one else on God's green earth cares as much about your business as you, and what that means for your personal relationships
- How to navigate other people's fears for you
- Why investing in mentorship and rooms where other entrepreneurs ahead of you sit, is the greatest form of self-care and self-love that there is
