So much time dedicated to entrepreneurship

Tender documents this minute, 

The next minute contacting sub-contractors,
the next minute unpaid overtime

Entrepreneurship can make or break you,
You have to give yourself 1000%

At the cost of personal development,

Dear family and all the things that you adore

You always have to go an extra mile,
work tirelessly because in real essence your business is at the cornerstone of your contribution to it.

Entrepreneurship becomes an identity, 

It is enmeshment (it depends on you and 

You depend on it)

So many sleepless nights,
So much effort to it,
there’s no break because you’re the foundation of the lucrative business,

You may hire people but at its core you are the founder,
you understand complex operations like the back of your hand

No one can get your vision better than you do,
you can hire all the skill that are there in the world but at the centre of it all you’re the mainstream mastermind

Who understands the project and blueprint better than anyone else.
