More Than an Entrepreneur: Redefining Your Identity Beyond Business
I could not wait to be a full-time entrepreneur. Give me the risk, give me the uncertainty, give me the possibilities. That’s what I fell in love with—the creativity of it all.
If I am honest, this became my life. It became who I was, and it was hard for me to identify myself outside of an entrepreneur. I was many things at this time: I was a husband, a brother, a cousin, a father, a grandfather, and a friend to quite a few people. I became hyper-focused, and I didn’t apologize for it. I was literally unapologetic.
Now honestly, I’m not mad that in certain seasons you become all in with what you’re doing. I think that is necessary. But I look back, and I looked around, and so much has happened. So many people passed away, and I wish I spent more time with them. I had some great experiences doing my work and traveling, but I wish I would’ve just traveled more with my wife—independently from my work schedule.
I should’ve taken more lunches with friends. I should’ve checked up on my brothers and sisters more often, especially my grandmothers and my mother. And I can go on, but I think you get the picture here.
We are more than just what we do. While this is good, we have to find a way to be everything we are.
God Bless The Entrepreneur
