Is it worth it?
When building your business you have probably asked yourself,
"Is it worth it?"
"Should I just quit?"
"Should I just do something else?"
"Should I invest my time and money on this business?"
Let me provide you with my thoughts.
Time Will Pass Anyway
Sometimes you may ponder about all the time it takes to build a business.
Endless hours of learning, putting in the effort and taking action.
How long will it take to achieve your goal and dreams?
1 year, 5 years or even 10 years?
Will it be worth all that time?
Here are the breaking news:
Time will pass anyway.
Whether you work or not, after 10 year you'll be 10 years older.
You can't stop time.
Why not just work and go after your dream?
What's the alternative? Go to a beach and sip martinis. Wake up after 10 years and realize you haven't made any progress in your life? No thanks!
Building a Business is the LEAST RISKY Option
Count the average income that a successful business owners makes.
Count the average income that a successful employee makes.
What's your conclusion?
=> Successful business owners earn much more money on average.
=> Rationally thinking building a business is the smartest choice you can take from a financial standpoint.
It's the least risky option you can take.
Have Fun - Enjoy the Process
If you have achieved some of your major goals, you know that the feeling of satisfaction doesn't last so long.
Perhaps a few hours.
If it was a huge goal, perhaps the satisfaction lasts for a few days.
Wouldn't it be better just to enjoy the whole process?
Instead of celebrating only AFTER reaching your goal, why not be happy already right now?
Happy with all the struggles.
Challenges.
Small wins.
Hard work.
Failures.
All of it.
Just enjoy it.

So, is it worth it?
If you're enjoying the process.
Having fun along the way.
Learning, progressing, helping people and making a positive shift in the world.
I guess it's worth it.
What do you think? :)

I do enjoy everything I've learned. I enjoy the internet work, and I really enjoy writing. Yes, it's worth it...since I am retired, it gives me something to do that I feel is meaningful. Glad I joined.
Roope, I spent the last 3 days revamping my YT channel. Got all the titles changed and the descriptions optimized, with a link to the spot where folks can buy the item and links to all 3 categories of the boutique. Looking at my videos, I can see that there have been a few more views, so that's good.
Good morning Roope,
Thank you for another excellent blog post, it is appreciated.
Your words are so true!
I really like to use my time constructively, I find time extremely valuable! I feel that I am building something good for the future. I would like to have more time to do what I'm doing, however, at least I'm building something and I will keep building!
Have a great day.

Roope thank you.
I came here with the intent of being successful, with a never quit mindset and sticking with it for the long haul. Regardless of the time.
The training is fun , the community is supportive and like my family. I firmly believe I will be successful, period. Without putting any time-frame pressures on myself. It will happen when it is supposed to. My success is based on my effort not so much my time, but the amount of sincere dedicated and committed effort. It's on me. I have all I need here. Period!
WA is a bargain for all that is available.
Hi Roope, excellent thoughts. That is true time passes away pretty quickly. I agree about is it worth it and enjoy it. You are still young and have more years left than I do but so are many other members who are seniors in their retirement doing this too and its worth it. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Well worth it for me...my journey is still in the launch phase, but the future is exciting, and this community is great!

Thank you Roope! I am convinced it is worth it :) Like you said, the time is going to pass anyway, so might as well make it productive time. Besides that, 10 years flies by really fast so before you know it, another decade has gone by and what do you have to show for it? Best to be productive towards a goal(s)!
