Almost everyone you meet will tell you that they want to have their own business and become their own CEO. The questions is, if we all became CEO’s, who will be the employee?
I pity people who become dissatisfied with their lives because society expects them to have bigger dreams. In case you did not know, not all of us are supposed to be the greatest or the best. We are meant to be the best that we can be and learn to be content while striving to improve. This means that there is someone who will be an employee all their life and will be happy with that, and there is that person who will become CEO.
Ambition is not something to be toyed with. The real kind requires passion, dedication, persistence,patience and perseverance. Often times, we will fail one way or another. Not all people are gifted with the drive to be CEO’s and the worst you can do is to think of yourself as a failure when in reality, you had set a target that simply could not be yours.
If you think of the founding CEO’s you have encountered or even successful artistes, how many of them had it easy when starting? Many of them have had to make sacrifices like not having a family, starting out without a home, extreme study, poverty, child abuse…among many other undesirable characteristics. The sacrifices continue well into the life of the business.
I often think that people ought to ask themselves, while you covet someones life, do you honestly believe you could have endured what they did to get there? If you turn the clock to the time before they had anything, could you have survived? I was one of those people that was fortunate to have parents who made sure that i never went hungry, always went to school and never lacked clothes to wear. Unfortunately, this could also mean that i got used to a stable comfortable life and may not be inclined to take high risks in life.
Another trait is that many of them started early in life. If you are past 25 and have yet to do anything that one can refer to as “hustling” you may not own your company one day and that’s okay. Just make sure that whatever you do, you rise at it to the best of your ability and always strive to improve.

God bless you for this CEO dream, its very inspiring. i think people should set targets which are achievable. There is nothing wrong to set high goals, the problem is blaming yourself for not achieving your aim.Do your best but accept your fate. There is nothing good or bad but thinking makes it so. Many of us struggle to get bread when a slice is sufficient. Think about it ,to be happy or sad depends on your perception. More money does not translate into happiness. Sometimes the sacrifice people endure to get wealth is more costly to them than wealth attained. Many sacrifice a lot to be powerful & rich but end up miserable. Others work to get a meal per day and end up rich. According to me i am rich if i enjoy what i do and i am contented with what i have.
