What Parenthood Taught Me about Entrepreneurship

Anthony C. Nwokolo

Hi Folks, so sorry for not posting articles here for some days now. Its because, I had a fatal car accident on May 6th, 2016 and i have been hospitalized and on medication since then. But to the glory of God am out of the hospital and now working from home while am recovering from the injuries i sustained. 

However, i give thanks to God for sparing my life, as am yet to unleash the great gifts He endowed on me to deliver His assignment here on the planet earth. Since all these days i ve been in a place lying on bed, all i could do and have been doing is reading,

meditating and thinking creatively and now am ready to unleash and share you guys all the quality information i have been absorbing. In line with God's Word, which tells us, "When the cloud is full it empty itself on the earth. I have soaked some quality inform all these while and its time to release and share with the world. Truly, in every adversity there is a seed of greater benefit, if we think positive. Instead of worrying and lamenting over the accident i had i switched my mental attitude to the positive side and have been using the time positively to develop my mind.

Before i digress, let us discus:  What Parenthood Taught Me about Entrepreneurship

Being a dad, I've noticed an absolute and direct correlation between being a parent and being an entrepreneur. It changes you for the better, but that doesn't mean it doesn't come with its own set of challenges along the way.

When you're starting out, you're excited but scared at the same time. You lose countless hours of sleep and you don't always know what to do next. Sometimes you just need a break, and other times you can't imagine spending any time away from it. It disrupts your life, but it improves it at the same time.

Then somehow, you get through those early stages and you begin to see the results of your hard work. As it grows, so do you - but new sets of challenges arise at the same time. Things don't always go according to plan, you get stressed, and you can go from having zero energy to being full of energy and pride, all within a 24 hour time period.

But if there's one thing I learned about business and parenthood more than anything else it is this:

It takes massive patience.

Sure, it takes hustle too, but I don't really like that term because too many entrepreneurs believe "hustle" is just all about working hard and feeling busy, when really it comes down to what you do and how it's moving the needle.

There's a common belief that you have to work yourself to the ground, sacrifice all sleep and neglect your loved ones in order to succeed, and I don't believe that. Not one bit. Especially that last part.

I do believe in choosing your priorities wisely, being conscious about where you spend your time and always playing for maximum output (not maximum input).

And most importantly, understanding that you need to be patient, like a parent who wants to stay sane throughout the entire journey.

If you're here hoping for a quick buck or to get rich overnight, I'm sorry. You're on the wrong blog so I don't waste your time.

But, if you're ready to nurture and develop your business (or as entrepreneurs like to call it, your baby) into a fully developed part of your life that you and others around you can be proud of...well, you're in the right place.
