Feel like i'm down on morale?

[Anonymous]

I tackle entrepreneur issues. As the saying goes it gets lonely at the top which is 1000% true. I don't have a like minded leader partner. I tackle things 10/10 on my own. As much as i force to keep the morale up, you do get pulled back down. For one i come from a dysfunctional family environment. I learnt to do things all on my own. All my friends are either married, hold full time jobs, some are in a foreign country pursuing degrees, others are just mommy's child E. g. "oh this is dangerous, that is dangerous, i can't go out after midnight, i don't drink, i can't chase my dreams my momma wants me to secure a degree, oh i can't ride motocross i can't break my arm". I push and pull myself back up no matter what the circumstances. Things are moving for the greater. But i don't know how much longer i can hold on to the bar. it's losing steam

I've been doing it more than 2 years. I got everything you listed in me. Things are stable. No general business issues. But it's the deteriorating social circle

I'm a workaholic myself. I have a degree in psychology, I've been an executive at two nonprofits (one of which I've just started up with several other professionals). I've done research, I'm also working full time in special education and I'm involved in speaking engagements from time to time, as well. The problem becomes that the more one works, the less time one has for a social life. I learned that the hard way. The important thing is to apply the same cliche that people apply to diets: 'everything in moderation.' Maintaining balance in your life is crucial to your mental health. What you are feeling isn't a lack of morality- it's a feeling of unfulfillment. You need balance in your life to be fulfilled. Pursue a hobby on the side or go to a networking event that doesn't make you feel pressured like you are in the business world. That will help spark a better feeling within you and a more positive outlook toward the future.

The thing they don't tell you about entrepreneurship is you kind of need a duck it all attitude. You need a partner but if you're going solo you need to be tough as nails with a bang up marketing plan.

You need aggression and perseverance. Have you tried going to school yourself or getting experience in your industry? If you work to get experience it's basically real world experience while you gain capital for financing your business. You also might find someone who is willing to be your partner.
