7 Entrepreneurship Truths (I Wish Someone Had Told Me)
Today hit heavy. So I grabbed the keys, went for a drive, filmed, and posted a YouTube video that’s been on my heart for a while. But I wanted to share here as well... If you’re building something if you feel like you're behind, misunderstood, or stuck in the grind with nothing to show for it yet. This one’s for you. Here are 7 truths I’ve learned after 14+ years in the trenches: 1. Winning Doesn’t Feel Like Winning. You’ll be doing everything right & still feel like you’re behind.Because winners don’t chase feelings. They chase progress. 2. Money Won’t Fill the Hole. Your first six-figure year won’t save you. Your AMG won’t save you.Real joy? It comes from helping others, family, purpose—not paychecks. 3. It’s Not About Being Smart. I barely graduated. I dropped out of college.Success came because I didn’t stop. Period. 4. People Won’t Understand You. Your vision will confuse them. You’ll disappoint people—maybe even your family.But temporary disappointment creates long-term pride. 5. The Better You Get, the Lonelier It Feels. There are fewer people at every level you climb.But that isolation forces you to evolve. 6. More Money = More Pressure. Every income level requires a higher capacity for stress.But if you shift your perception, pressure becomes opportunity. 7. You’ll Always Feel Behind. Even when you’re in the 1%, you’ll feel like you’re not doing enough.And that’s what keeps you ahead. If you're deep in it right now and wondering if it’s worth it, it is.But only if you’re willing to pay the price most people won’t... & that's up to you to decide. 📩 If you want to take a drive with me & listen to the full video, message me “TRUTH” and I’ll send you the full video. This one’s not a flex. It’s the real truth behind the highlight reel. —Alexis
