I never really had the entrepreneurial mindset. Even when my husband encouraged me to go at it and even taught me what he had learned from his books and his personal experience as an entrepreneur, it just never appealed to me.
Then my husband, frustrated of my lack of interest, would tell me that I have to find my "emotional why" so that I will be able to feel the hunger, the need for acquiring great wealth.
He would always instill in me that "the purpose of creating wealth is to help others" and somehow that lesson stuck in my heart.
I do have my set of emotional whys but I still lack the hunger and the thirst. Several times, I have asked myself why, I have even tried reflecting about it. Then I realized that the reason why I lack the thirst and the hunger to start using my emotional whys is that my personality didn't allow me to use it. Or rather, I chose to elude stuff that conotes problems, stress and pain, lots and lots of pain.
Honestly, I am fond of escaping. Whenever problems arise, instead of dealing with it head on, I go straight to the other direction and prefer to deal with it as if it is non-existent.
I guess that is why my emotional whys never really pushed me towards finding solutions for them. Because whenever I think about them, instinct ruled over and I become numb towards them.
Fortunately for me, my husband has been so patient in encouraging me, in pushing me and in showing me the real picture. He was able to drag me out of my comfort zone, pulled me out of my safe bubble that has been long created to protect myself from pain.
Now I can say, I am learning a little on how to have the entrepreneurial mindset without my husband pressuring me to do so.
This is a great beginning towards my journey to the path of wealth.
