Stop glamorizing entrepreneurship

Why does every startup story make entrepreneurship sound like it's all about yachts and Lamborghinis? The truth is, it's a grind. You're most likely to eat ramen more than caviar, and work 16-hour days. It's rewarding, sure, but don't go into it thinking it's easy cash. Get ready to work harder than you've ever worked in your life.

For sure it's tough, but where's your passion? The grind can be the best part if you love what you're building. Just gotta be ready for anything!

You're just doing it wrong! My uncle's brother's cousin started a business and now he's on Mars.

Yep, start-ups are marathons, not sprints. Best advice would be to find a solid team you trust and can share the burden with. Solo missions are a fast track to burnout.

It's just marketing! Influencers want you to think startup life is glamorous so you buy their courses. Reality? Most are barely making rent.

I was in the game for 5 years before I had to pack it in. No yachts, no fancy cars, just a pile of unpaid bills and stress levels through the roof. Some of us forget to live while we hustle.

But isn't that the dream tho? Grind now, Lambos later! 🚀 Gotta aim high, right?

Totally agree. I've been working on my startup for 3 years and if anything, it's more like a rollercoaster than a yacht cruise. People forget most of us are scraping by.
