Success... Who Will Stand by You to the End

Entrepreneurship is not a field for those who aren't willing to make sacrifices. There will be times in our lives, in this field where you must decide between family and work. It's as simple as that. There are times when family will win and there are times when they won't. That's how things work and you have to decide what the rules are for each decision. I came up with three different things that you must do to find success and to ensure that those who begin this journey with you, will finish it with you.
1. Finding common ground- I don't believe that you wake up one day and decide that you are going to be an entrepreneur. It's a journey and it takes time. With those steps and time to make this decision, there are critical people in your life that you should include in the decision. Your partner or spouse is the number one person. You should sit down and make rules. When you will work late, when you shouldn't miss your children's events and when work will come first and when it will come second. You should also be prepared that this will be a long journey. The more you talk about it and the more prepared you both are, the less there will be to disagree upon once the events actually happen.

2. Keep your word- I think this is important for keeping people by your side until the end. Have you ever had someone who constantly tells you something and never pulls through? It gets old. Eventually you get tired of waiting and tired and being let down so you go find someone who won't let you down anymore. If you say you are going to be somewhere, be there. If you say you are going to do something. Do it. Simple as that.

3. Last and final is make time- there will always be a better option. A chance to make more money. A chance to find everlasting success but what won't always be there, is your family. Watching your children grow, you will never get those moments back. It's hard but there will always be a chance to make more money later. Make time for those that you love and figure out a way to balance both rather than making work the number one priority in your life.
