Remember the reason you chose to become an entrepreneur

How many times do you hear people saying to you, ‘I could never leave my secure 9-5 job for the uncertainty of the entrepreneurship life’? Yet, today as economic challenges are impacting many African countries and big companies inevitably restructure and often downsize to mitigate the impact, there is no such thing as a secure job anymore. So the idea of abandoning the steady paycheck in favour of setting up a new business is perhaps not as crazy as it might once have seemed to many. One of the most common reasons people choose to start their own businesses is to have better control over their lives, to be the ones making the decisions for their futures. It is worth remembering this reason on those days when we question the entrepreneurial path we have taken, and the road gets a little bumpy!
