I am
becoming a little bit negative about the future. I see how difficult it is to
start a business. Even getting out of debt and making ends meet with a stable
job is difficult for me right now. I have a good job and make more money than
most college students in my country, but I can’t pay my credit cards off since
more unexpected expenses (like fines, emergencies, and taxes) keep coming. I
start to feel terrified about losing or quitting my job.
The only
thing that makes me feel a little bit optimistic about my situation is reading
about successful entrepreneurs who started from zero, like Desh Deshpande who
arrived in the U.S with $8 USD in his pocket and became a billionaire. I also
get courage from the stories of entrepreneurs who arrived to Mexico without an
education and without speaking Spanish and became very successful (like Julian
Slim, father of Carlos Slim).
I’m trying
to obtain more experience and knowledge outside from school and work by taking
courses, investing, and become more involved with entrepreneurs in the
community in order to learn from them.
I haven’t
had a lot of progress with the $100 project, other than deciding the source of
funding.
