For most entrepreneurs, starting up your own business is just like raising a child. You love and nurture it, you sacrifice your time, energy and resources for it, you keep on thinking about it even when you’re home or on vacation, you spend sleepless nights worrying about it, you make preparations for it’s future, and sometimes, you cry for it when things don’t go as planned. Worst case, everything you did for it might not bear fruit at all…

 

But the good thing is, you can start all over. And if you’re smart, you’ll be able to use all that you’ve learned from everything you’ve gone through. And hopefully this time, with enough planning, good decision-making and perseverance, you can eventually see your child grow up to be a parent.

 

No one ever said being your own boss would be easy…
