Most of the entrepreneurs and business owners I work with are lonely.

They get up early, and never really switch off from their work. Their partner loves them but doesn’t really understand. Their mates have real jobs.

What’s more, what they’re pursuing is difficult, and what is difficult is inherently lonely.

You are bombarded with self-doubt and questioning, and that compounds the loneliness.

When you do something difficult with your life, loneliness will strike.

Which would be fine if it didn’t completely derail you from your goals by leaving you second guessing your choices.

Loneliness isn’t just a shitty way to feel though. Loneliness is an inhibitor of your goals.

The irony is, you and I, us seekers of freedom, desire independence, but that independence often sacrifices connection.
