It is crucial that you write down your reasons for becoming an entrepreneur in the first place. So, Set Personal Goals.
@farhan_aslam1 Credibility is what drives me to want to continue to work on an idea, and I agree that proper planning/agenda is very crucial to make something happen.
Freedom… it’s very simple really. Not just freedom to act on entrepreneurial instincts (building businesses and projects), but also mental freedom.
Money is a very important aspect when it comes to Entrepreneurship, and though many might say money doesn’t buy happiness. It definitely buys freedom and that’s something every Solopreneur innately hopes for.
Daily journaling - as simple as it sounds - helps me live a happier life. I tend to track everything, so I end up with a lot of data about what makes me happy and what doesn’t. From when I sleep, eat, exercise, etc. The earlier you start journaling and reflection, the more optimized you can live. Think about it like having more data to work with… easier to optimize.
Positively impacting people's lives is what keeps me going. I've been building RECRD by putting creators first and helping them monetise their content. I also created a new way to engage with content through video replies we call Rebnds, which creates an interactive space within the app. Feel free to check out our upcoming product here: http://bit.ly/3hqnUqd. Would love to hear your feedback and have your support :)

Hello Fellow Shetty,
For me, it's an innate feeling that I want to do something big. Much bigger than most can fathom. Leave a mark on the world by providing some kind of value to the masses. If I manage to accomplish it then onto the next mission.
