The Boredom of An Entrepreneur

Grit sells. A small insider into building my business(es) and the ideal day.

There’s a quiet truth about entrepreneurship, one that people often ignore or don’t talk about—the profound boredom that will still exist. Even in the midst of success.

This generation romanticizes entrepreneurship. We love lusting over the late nights, the breakthroughs, the innovations. We hear about the big ideas and the big wins. We marvel at the hustle, the grind, the success. We imagine a world where entrepreneurs are constantly innovating, changing the world with each new move, new idea after new idea. But what we forget is the undercurrent of dullness that threads its way through the journey somewhere or the other. And this boredom is not something that can be easily explained to an outsider.

Now, the average person imagines entrepreneurship as all about creating something new, something shiny and exciting, something of your own. And yes, that’s part of it, for the most of it. Yet, majority of the time, the big wins or the glamorous moments fade into oblivion. When I think back fondly on my best days at STRATEV, I do not recall the high ticket client invoices or the celebrity clients. What I DO remember, is being up for 32 hours straight, not showering, head down, working, grinding alone in an empty 2BHK with the same problem-solution-and end goal on the table. To me, most of entrepreneurship has felt like working on a project that feels like it will never reach completion. You just do the same thing every single day and more, questioning your own sanity for continuing to push the envelope in a world that seems more focused on the next shiny object than on solving real problems. Gosh.
