Confessions of a Sad Entrepreneur

If you are reading this, you are a person who wants to serve the world but doesn’t know how.

OR

At the core, you are NOT concerned about making MONEY but with your life’s mission: “To leave the world a better place.”

Can you help me with your valuable advice?

Do you say these phrases too often in your life?

“I have done it badly again.”

“I wasted another opportunity.”

“I am struck.” “I will never make money.”

The problem is that I boldly decided to change my life at 45 by quitting a well-paying stable job to follow my passion for entrepreneurship

I wanted to pursue online teaching.

It was exciting at the beginning(even now too). I spoke about my passion to my wife. She was excited. My children were excited. But I made no money yet!

It’s been eight months and now I start to doubt whether my passion has turned into POISON because I could not sell my courses!

My decision was to become an online English Coach because I wanted to help the students of my community to be fluent in English.

It involved speaking to a camera, editing my work, doing some designing for my YouTube Thumbnail, Publishing my work regularly, etc…

Moreover, if you are an introvert like me, we love the comfort of writing rather than getting ourselves before the camera.

We don’t like getting ourselves visible and allowing people to laugh at us.

Unfortunately, I cannot stop.

Do you believe that we were all guided by some unforeseen forces to a better self?

Or

Am I another random fool?

At the age of 26, I suffered from a severe Kidney failure, and I never thought I would see my next birthday.

My girlfriend left me, and I thought no girl would ever fall in love with me to be my wife.

I thought I was the most useless fellow on earth because I was brought up in a very troubled family.

Then I came across a quote by Henry David Thoreau:

“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.”

I was curious, but I felt like believing it.

Lo! It became true.

I found love later. I got a respected job. I fathered two wonderful children.

So why am I writing this?

I have NOT made any money in my passion.

Have I made a wrong turn?

I know you could also be the same person, burning inside but keeping a bold face to the world.

Is it okay to believe in our passions and mission?

Can I believe in this wonderful quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson:

“The law of nature is: Do the thing, and you shall have the power, but they who do not the thing have not the power.”

So I am fighting for the power just as you. I will pray for you as you do for others.

Bless you.

Please leave your valuable thoughts. I think your words can heal me.

Thank you for reading.
