What It Really Means to Own a Business

Owning a business can be a dream, but it can also be a nightmare. In today’s episode, host May Yeo Silvers breaks down what it really means to own a business without shying away from the uglier truths.    Entrepreneurship provides amazing opportunities for reaching your goals, but it also is not for everyone. You may have a lot of passion for the service or product you want to provide, but you also need to have a similar amount of passion for the business side of things. You will need to run payroll, social media, marketing, hiring and firing, and everything else that makes a business actually run.    Entrepreneurship is not for the faint of heart and requires a lot of time and effort to really be successful. Before opening the doors to your business, really consider all the aspects that owning a business entails.   Quotes • “When you're building a business, there are some big moments that are going to be super ugly, and very uncomfortable. And if you're thinking to start a business, I want you to go all in with your eyes and your ears and your mind and your heart wide open, so you don't feel that you're blindsided.” (2:11-2:39 | May) • “Welcome to entrepreneurship where there are highs of the highest and lows of the lowest. And the lowest will rip you apart if you do not have the aptitude.” (4:06-4:19 | May)  • “In order to have a successful business, you not only have to love what you're offering, you also have to love what you have to do for business.” (10:15-10:29 | May)  • “Your business can't grow without you growing first. So you need to be the one leading the business and not let the business push you.” (21:56-22:06 | May)   Links Connect with me at: [email protected] Website: events4anyone.com LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/mayyeosilvers Facebook: www.facebook.com/mayyeosilvers IG: www.instagram.com/mayyeosilvers TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mayyeosilvers  FB private group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/events4anyone   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm
