Entrepreneurs Suck In Relationships by Dana Severson
OK, I am on a roll tonight. This posting REALLY hit close to home for me. Something to think about be a founder of an Online Business like Wealthy Affiliate.
One of the things I have found at Wealthy Affiliates is the people who are successful at building their businesses also seem to have somewhat of a work/family balance and actually take the building of the business as a means to spend more time doing what they love and being with who they love.
Basically, I think a "extra" outcome of going through the training and being linked into the community, it is also helping me to find who I am like what the author discusses in this article

As an entrepreneur, I am difficult to get along with sometimes, but my ultimate goal is to help the people I love most in this world. Personally, I could live in the mountains like Jeremiah Johnson and be content with life:)
My dream life has been to be in the mountains for many years. Then I began Scuba Diving and I have to admit something about the Caribbean sometimes come to mind as well.
Am I an entrepeneur? Wow, never viewed myself like that! I was married for 35yrs, lost hubby this year so am on my own. What I have noticed now, I get irritated when people drop in to visit, I want to focus on being an "entrepeneur," I can understand where the article is coming from!
My sympathies on losing your hubby. Yes you are not just an entrepreneur but a successful one too.
One side benefit here at Wealthy Affiliates is that the community consistently reminds me I need to be more balanced with time, etc.
When I first joined WA, I would stay up literally around the clock working. Several times in Chat I was reminded I needed to get some sleep.
My hours that I put into my business do vary, I'm no longer on the 9-5 routine. I am trying to get back to something a bit more consistent that where I am at now.
I couldn't stay up round the clock! I do put in a lot of hours though, but productive ones. :)
Well I am not currently working, at least not 9-5. I do do occasional freelance work.
What I found about the round-the-clock was that once I stayed up that long, it took much longer to catch up on sleep.
Thank you Susie. :) I like the article especially when it says here:
"If we don’t hit our goal by next year, we keep trying up until the day we die"
We to offen feel alone because It's our desire not others, i have more Then onse been in a relationship where we Move in difference direktion, It's so difficult to make other understand why we are doing it
I agree my feeling of being alone is definitely brought on by myself. I tend to get started on my business and find myself in a zone so to speak.
I keep back noise on to try to help but I am seriously thinking about getting out and working from a place that has wifi (like starbucks) just to make sure my hibernation does not become permanent.
That maby give some inspiration but entrapaneur are a lonly Call, we have to remember we do it opersite of all other
That was a good article. In a way I'm glad I don't have to worry about relationships. My family is grown and I'm a widow so I'm on my own. Makes for doing online stuff a bit easier. :)
It also makes for a great community to be engaged with online here at Wealthy Affiliates.
Sometimes being alone is hard. I know my mom goes through it, she is a widow too and is living on her own for the first time in over 77 years.
It has been hard on her and I think she might really enjoy the community here but she is too old school about the technical stuff and trusting doing things online. It scares her.
Oh, I bet she could do it. She'd have you to help too. But I understand about the tech stuff, that gets me down faster then anything and I'm quite a bit younger, but still feel old when it comes to computer tech. Goes right over my head at times. :)
Me too I such at relationships as I am not married for the second time and will never happen again.
Secondly my entrepreneurship methods are completely in the dumps so you can easily call me a looser. I don't mind
Ken
I would never call a fellow WA member a looser. Just working through all of this "new" material is a challenge worth respect.
Well, I sucked at relationships before becoming an entrepreneur so - hey, what do I have to lose! lol
This made me laugh. I have always sucked at relationships. Been divorced for over 20 years and not looking to ever get married again.
I would like to think I have done better on growing friendships by learning and working with others.
I agree. Much better at friendships. I waited to get married until I was 38 - got married Feb 2011, left him Jan 2012.
Haven't bothered with the divorce yet - hoping this year I'll have some extra cash for that! lol
I don't plan to ever marry again either!
