The Benefits of Having Someone that Supports you and is Willing to Join You - 26/101 Entrepreneur Mistakes & Lessons

While my first girlfriend was very negative and rather uninterested in business and entrepreneurship. My second one had more potential.She was interested in self development and business, but, ultimately she was unwilling to take the leap and become an entrepreneur herself.She had been working in a certain industry since around 2011 and I encouraged her to write a few books based on her knowledge and then begin sharing them those lessons online. This way she could begin to generate passive income from the book sales and/or charge a higher hourly rate because she's an author and is sharing her advice online, so the people she can work with will see her as an authority and an expert in her field. Furthermore, she could have been a very good mother, as she had a very gentle and caring character.The lesson I learnt from being with her is that you need to find someone that have similar priorities and standards to you.It also helps if they understand and view business and money positively.As well as they are thinking long term, rather than short term. As she was very much about short term pleasure rather than long term gain. I was thinking about business, setting up systems and creating books, but she was more interested in learning how to skate and joining a choir. Nothing wrong with these, but our priorities were not in synch. I knew that by having a smart online business, we could take a 6 month holiday twice a year.Do not be with someone for the sake of being with them, they'll ultimately become a distraction and distract you from success and thus you'll lose focus.There are another 100 mistakes that I made here.
