You’ve probably already made your resolutions for 2023, but if not, I suggest a renewed commitment to finding happiness and satisfaction in your chosen business lifestyle. If you are sick of the corporate grind, take your favorite idea or hobby, and join other happy entrepreneurs. Stay rooted in the present. Marty Zwilling.
Over my many years of mentoring aspiring entrepreneurs and business professionals, I often hear a desire to start a new business, with a big hesitation while waiting for that perfect idea and perfect alignment of the stars. Most aspiring entrepreneurs don’t have the resources alone to “bootstrap” or fund their new business alone.
Every business professional I know, or have met in my consulting role, has given serious thought to the alternative of switching to the entrepreneur lifestyle , pursuing a long-standing dream, and controlling their own destiny. The key to work satisfaction in the long-term is living your core values. Life is too short to not have fun.
Commonly, I find that business owners and entrepreneurs look first at solutions which solve painful problems, or have high profit margins, regardless of their own commitment to a higher purpose, such as saving the environment or helping the underserved.

Whether you are a business professional in a big company, or an entrepreneur with a startup, innovation is a key strategy. New businesses driven only by a passion for big profit margins, rather than customer value and a higher cause, are perennially high risk with low satisfaction for you and the team.
For example, it has long been widely accepted that one of the primary causes for entrepreneur failure in new startups is that many give up too soon. Constant attention to work devices, location, and travel is not humanly sustainable without loss of quality, satisfaction, and productivity. Stretch here also increases job satisfaction.
As I work with aspiring entrepreneurs and business professionals, I often hear about stress and disappointment from a great idea or innovation that failed for reasons that you don’t understand. Marty Zwilling First published on Inc.com on 04/24/2023
In the aftermath of the recent pandemic, which caused many businesses to close, a new raft of business workers and entrepreneurs are deciding to pursue their own dreams of being a new business owner, and controlling your own destiny. Marty Zwilling First published on Inc.com on 08/08/2023
