I look at entrepreneurship success this way…
Entrepreneurship success has 2 components:
- the tangible wealth – money and what money can buy
- the feelings of self-worth & the quality relationships with other human beings.
Few people are fully satisfied by money alone.
Deep down, you know that.
But, you will be tempted to dis-remember it. I say dis-remember to make the point – you will not forget people are more important than money, however, that fact can be buried during the heat of entrepreneurial battles.
And – that’s when problems start.
That’s when self-esteem suffers.
That’s when success, if it comes, is bittersweet.
That’s when success can not fill the ‘wanting’ that drives entrepreneurs to carry on.
Much has been written about how special people connections can generate amazing success stories. As one example, I would recommend ‘
Click’ by
Ori & Rom Brafman.
Dedicate time to understanding what it means to click.
To succeed as an entrepreneur you must click with other people.
