The Secret Struggle of an Entrepreneur.
I was sitting at a corner of my store when I overheard two women mocking an entrepreneur, they were laughing at this young woman because they felt she was making so much money from her business and it was not reflecting in her dressing, eating and other things.

The young woman whom they were gossiping about was working extra hard and not giving time to rest, but with her hard work, she could not eat well or even dress well.
The women who were talking about this entrepreneur were also owing her money as at the time of discussion.

I pondered on the discussion and I realized how difficult the life of an entrepreneur could be some times.
Imagine the young woman got goods on credit with the hope of selling fast and making profit, but some people she considered as friends came to beg her to give them goods on credit and she obliged that they will pay back soon.
The people who got the goods on credit did not pay back and she was left to stare into thin air as her creditors came to ask for their money and she had no means of paying back.
Those she gave goods to on credit claimed not have the ability to pay back and they were close relatives, she took it upon herself to sell personal properties in order to pay back what she owed and that was not even enough to cover up what she owed.
She took the risk of taking more loans in order to save the business from running down, but at this point, business did not go fast like the other tine she sold on credit, she knew she had to sacrifice eating or dressing glamorously until her business was okay again.
She lived that way constantly hoping that things will get better really soon.
This story is something she cannot publicly announce to everyone as she wakes up with fear and worry everyday, but what more do the neighbours and friends know than she is just being stingy to herself.
To every start-up entrepreneur out there, we are going to be alright and everything will work out well for us. Do have a splendid afternoon, I am @tobi.
