5 psychological burdens which every entrepreneur faces

It's generally not often talked about, but entrepreneurship is thus considered as incredibly lonely. How is an entrepreneur supposed to deal with this?

The purpose of this article is to make the reader aware of the 5 psychological burdens which every entrepreneur faces .

Entrepreneurship is however frequently portrayed as an exciting, amusing or also even lavish (especially after a company has thus  become successful), but the truth is that , there’s thus a dark side to entrepreneurship that however isn’t frequently publicized.

Most of the entrepreneurs in the public eye are  considered as ones who have thus become very successful, while the majority of the  business owners however  endure a silent struggle -- whether they’re thus  making a consistent profit or not.

It’s thus rewarding in order   to start and then manage one’s own business even if one fails ,  but before one  takes  the plunge, he must be ready for these kind of  psychological burdens that the entrepreneurs have to bear:

1. Accountability

Everything that however  goes wrong is going to be the entrepreneurs fault -- or  thus at least, that’s however it is  going to seem. As the leader of the  organization, the entrepreneur is only  the one who is however making the final call on most of the  decisions, and the entrepreneur is the  one who will however be most affected (whether positively or negatively) by those kind of decisions’ outcomes. Making too many decisions can however  increase the levels of stress, and increased stress can however lead to poor decision making, so one  may get however end up being  caught in a relentless cycle of stress and the decisions.

2. Financial stress and uncertainty

There’s however  no such thing as a “typical” startup; some of these businesses are however able to get off the ground with thus  almost no investment, while the  others end up  spending  millions of rupees before they end up being live.

On the  top of that, one will probably be required to quit his day job in order to commit full-time to his  new business, and it’s thus unlikely that one would however generate revenue right away. One would need in order to survive at least a few months without any income. And one will also have to do this based on a business plan one is only marginally confident will however  eventually yield produce a steady stream of revenue.

3. Reluctance to trust

No entrepreneur can build  a business alone, but even if one surrounds  himself with the best employees one can find, one might thus find it hard in order  to trust them in order  to take care of your baby. Still, one is thus going to have to if one wants the business to grow.

One would also need to delegate tasks, entrust the  entire departments to the  other people and also depend on the  partners and vendors in order  to have a back. On top of that, one will also  need to listen to the advice of the  mentors and the other entrepreneurs if one wants  a fuller perspective on the issues one will  face -- and those people won't  however always end up  going to tell one as to  what one wants  to hear.

4. Work-life balance

When one takes  on the role of an entrepreneur, everything else thus results in  taking  a back seat. One would also be passionate and genuinely excited about his idea, and thus  for the first few months, the long hours and weekends of work will however  be satisfying. But then, even though one can set his own hours, one would fall deeper into the demands of the entrepreneurial lifestyle.

In order to make the  matters worse, as the  health declines, one would however find it harder in order to resist problems like depression and burnout.

5. Loneliness

It’s thus not often talked about, but entrepreneurship is considered as  incredibly lonely. On top of the working long hours and also being away from the  friends and the  family members, one also  won’t feel connected to the people around him . One will also have to be the "boss" and would also have to be the consummate professional to all the coworkers one  considers  a kind of family. And one won’t also be able to show a moment of weakness -- even if the company is on the brink of collapse.

Thus if you are an entrepreneur who is thus struggling with these psychological burdens, then one would need to get help. Despite of being dedicated to the company, one may however either be in denial that one is experiencing these burdens, or feel that he is too busy to address them.
