The entrepreneurship journey is not a type of journey you can just walk through and achieve overnight success, No! You need to be careful also you must be hard-working and you must exercise patience. In the entrepreneurship world only the mind with consistency wins.
It hurts to see an entrepreneur giving up at the stage when he or she is already close to success. Most entrepreneurs that go back home to sleep and forget about their entrepreneurship journey never knew they are close to success, if only they knew they wouldn’t have taken that action.
In this post I will be talking about the reasons why entrepreneurs go back home to sleep and forget about their entrepreneurship journey. Below are reasons why entrepreneurs go back home to sleep and forget their entrepreneurship journey:
They Lack the Self-Belief:
Tell me, without self belief do you think that you can achieve anything in this life? No I doubt it. Things might look tough during your entrepreneurship journey but that doesn’t mean that you should quit. Besides the entrepreneurship journey will not be interesting if you don’t face challenges of different sorts. Facing challenges will make you get tougher, wiser and smarter. This is one of the reasons why most entrepreneurs go back home to sleep and forget their entrepreneurship journey. They lack the self-belief that they can break new grounds. If only they can put on the spirit of self-belief they wouldn’t have been in that state, they will still be striving, so that one day they can be a soul survivor.
They Lack the Networking Skill:
They lack the networking skill; they are not a good networker. As you all know that networking means a lot in this life if you don’t know how to network in this life then you are lame! If you can cultivate the habit of networking, it will help you out big time. If you are a good networker, the easier and smoother things will be for you in your entrepreneurship journey. Individuality cannot make us tall; learn how to work with other people, other people from different races. It will help a lot but most entrepreneurs that went back home to sleep and forget their entrepreneurship journey don’t have a good networking skill. They failed to build it. I used to say this, being a good networker doesn’t require a degree it’s just about using “common sense”. I’d been they were good networkers am very sure they wouldn’t have gone back home to sleep and forget their entrepreneurship journey.
Bad Mentor:
They take amateurs to be their mentor. They get counseling from the wrong set of people. They failed to stick to the right mentor due to ignorance. A person that can help them out is someone who can give them what they need and not someone who will not add values to their lives. Seeking advice from an amateur will ruin one’s entrepreneur journey. So that’s why it is advisable for every entrepreneur to know the type of person he or she will take as a mentor. Read my previous article on how to seek for the right business mentor.
Imitation:
They don’t have a main purpose for their journey in the entrepreneurship world. They are in the entrepreneurship world just because of their friends. They failed to follow their gut. Imitation does bring about limitation to one’s success. That’s why it is good for every entrepreneur to know why they are in the game, know your mission in the entrepreneurship world. Failure to figure out your main aim in the entrepreneurship world will cost you a lot. So to avoid going back home to sleep and forget the entrepreneurship journey, you must know why you are in the journey.
They Fail to Admit:
They believe they can do it all alone and they don’t need anybody to help them. As an entrepreneur, you need to work on the area you know you are capable of holding and try to outsource people who are good in the area you have no or less capability to hold so as to make things easy. But if you believe that you don’t need anybody to help you in the area you are lacking, it won’t help you at all, you are only wasting your time. So in other to avoid going back home to sleep and forget the entrepreneurship journey, try to avoid this mistake. Get people you know they can do better in an area you are not good at to help you out and you work on the area you are good at.
Life Factor:
Yeah, this might sounds somehow but it’s the fact. Most entrepreneurs go back home to sleep and forget their entrepreneurship journey due to life factor, the life factor may be spiritual, family factor etc. That’s why every entrepreneur should always pray hard. I am not preaching but it’s the real and absolute fact. As you all know that nothing is impossible through God, so try to pray hard, always remember to pray and ask for his mercies. Nobody is perfect we are all trying our best, but for us to keep going and providing the best we need God’s favour. Don’t neglect the idea of praying, it will help you if you can encourage the idea.

Hi Samuel,
Well said, another harsh reality is the entrepreneur lack of capital or funds. Nice round up of the reason that entrepreneur will fail and go home to sleep. I especially resonate with lack of self-belief, without that we are sure to fail.
Thanks for sharing bro.

Hi Lye,
You are right bro, self belief is mandatory. thanks for the comment take care.
Hi Samuel
Lack of self belief is the main reason people fail. Self-belief is very powerful. Without it you are doomed. Not be accountable for our mistakes is also very true. Everyone makes mistakes and fails; it’s what we learn from our failures that makes us successful.
Well done with this post.

Yea Brad! thanks for the comment…take care.
Great article. I liked when you said “you must know why you are in the journey”.
Yeah that’s the fact! thanks a lot for the comment. take care.
I agree with your points Sam. If I am an entrepreneur who fails and forgets the journey to success, I’m a complete idiot. This is what I have learned in my affiliate and internet marketing career, that I have almost given up after experiencing failures of every method I experimented. But I need to pump up my own fuel in order to keep it going, and stay strong till I see success. Everything starts with failure, but quitting your dreams is a very bad option. We keep dreaming, and success will arrive.

Hi Jeff,
I love your comment man! that’s just the fact. failure is just a temporary defeat. success begin with failure. thanks a lot for the comment bro! take care and have fun.
Hi Samuel,
I quite agree with you. As an ex-banker turned entrepreneur, the realities of both worlds are totally different. No wonder most people never try to make the switch.
Two other factors are the Inability to run a business in their minds before running live and No indomitable spirit.
Hi Segun,
Yea you are right. people are afraid to switch,they might be thinking that after they switch, they will never make it again in life. it shows that their orientation is very bad. Life goes on. you just have to keep trying. thanks for the comment man. have fun.
Sam, you’re correct on all those points there. I find it funny you post it as go back to sleep
Praying that is something i don’t hear very often around, glad you mention about it.

Hey Samuel,
Wonderful article. Self belief is what makes you a strong person in life and business. If you don’t have it then your chance of getting success is limited.
Anyways thanks for this wonderful article bro.

Hi Momma,
Yeah, that’s the fact! you are right. thanks a lot for the comment. Have fun.
Hi Samuel,
Nice post. I think a big part of why people don’t succeed at things is because they haven’t visualized their long and short term goals. I think its important to have a plan for where you’ll be in a year or five years. Then also have realistic short term goals. Don’t be afraid to start small and work your way up to greatness over time. It’s not a bad thing to take baby steps in the beginning.

Hi Richard,
Yeah, setting achievable goals is mandatory to ones success, most of the entrepreneurs don’t want to start from the scratch they want to achieve big things without working hard. thanks a lot for the comment. have fun.
Nice post, Samuel. Being an entrepreneur can have its ups and downs, but in the end you need to stick with it. I’ve seen many people go down because other people tell them “it can’t be done” or they have a “bad idea.” Gotta keep moving, and gotta stay aggressive.
Hi Matt,
Yeah you are right bro! Thanks a lot for the awesome comment. Have Fun.
