The Allure Of Starting Again

It’s funny how entrepreneurship is in this chaotic world.

I’ve tried it before. For 7 years I did.

I created www.Alden-Tan.com, a blog on personal development.

I went broke.

And most of the time, I was stressed out and miserable everyday. Many were the times I woke up in bed and knew that it was going to be a bad day.

I had some success though, but the gratification didn’t seem to last, at least not for my young, idealistic mind back then.

I eventually went back to work. I gained employment again, something which I thought was a sin. I mean, when you spend so much time trying to motivate yourself by force feeding inspirational quotes, videos and speeches by famous hustlers, you tend to think anything outside of being one yourself is pure blasphemy.

Employment helped. I made friends. I had a steady income. I created a network outside. I realized the importance of crafting a career and it can bring you in life.

Then Covid came. Long story short, I was thrown around the company and made to do shit I didn’t sign up for.

I resigned. I left.

Now, I am here again.

The remnants of dreams left unfulfilled are calling.
