Chapter 1: Understanding Entrepreneurship

What drives individuals to pursue entrepreneurship? Is it the luxurious cars, private jets, or the glamorous lifestyles flaunted by successful entrepreneurs?

Take a moment to reflect on those times you’ve scrolled through social media, bombarded by images of extravagant living. It looks enticing, doesn’t it? But does that truly encapsulate what entrepreneurship is all about? And should that be the ultimate aspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs?

When you engage someone who runs a business and inquire about their motivation, they may initially cite financial gain. However, as you delve deeper, the reality often reveals a desire for autonomy—living life on their own terms.

While there's nothing inherently wrong with aspiring for luxury, it shouldn't be the singular benchmark for success in entrepreneurship. For me, the allure of commerce stemmed from its potential to facilitate the life I envisioned—one brimming with abundance and fulfillment.

Theoretically, entrepreneurship empowers you to manifest your dreams. Whether you’re selling art, launching an innovative product, or starting a clothing line, the possibilities are endless.

I began my journey as a creative writer and fashion design student who relocated from a small island, aiming to establish a vibrant and adaptable life in Vancouver. My goal was to create a life that would challenge me and inspire personal growth.

Reflecting on the past eight years, I can confidently say I’ve achieved that exciting and flexible life, albeit not in the way I initially envisioned. My journey has been one of discovery, marked by both triumphs and setbacks.
