Don’t be average – be an entrepreneur

Startups

Written by | Oct 9, 2013

What do you really want out of life? What is the driving force behind your startup? What really motivates you?

Being an entrepreneur is not an easy life, but it can be very emotionally rewarding. Hopefully financially rewarding too. It’s certainly not an average life, and if you are making a serious go of it, then you are not going to live an average life either.

If you’re looking for some inspiration to live more than an average life, you should definitely check out the ZenPencils site by artist Gavin Aung Than. Gavin takes quotes from famous people and draws cartoon illustrations around the quote.

If you’re in need of some inspiration on one of your rougher entrepreneur days, check out ZenPencils. This quote from the author of the $100 Startup, Chris Guillebeau, was very relevant for me. I don’t want to live an average life, and you probably don’t either.

As an entrepreneur, you’ve probably already got #9 covered. Congratulations! You are not going to live an average life.
