Some folks get into the entrepreneurial game to find happiness.

Are you feeling sad at your 9 to 5? Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life. Happiness will be yours forever!

At least the promise goes something similar to that.

Do the things you love and you will be happy!

But is that really the case?

How do most of us achieve happiness anyway?

For most folks happiness is achieved in growing through the gaps of where you are NOW and where you'd like to be at some point in the future.

For regular folks like us, if we’re growing, making progress and developing, we’ll be happy!

If we are stale in the major areas of our lives, then we’ll be sad.

Remember this is an oversimplification!

We’re not accounting for people with psychological challenges here, and this isn’t medical advice to suit everyone’s temperament or current state in life.

Happiness comes from growth and development.

Happiness is not a destination.

It's an “after effect” that comes from the process of growing.

That’s the reason why some folks can do jobs not particularly fun or rewarding, but they can achieve mastery, growth, and happiness.

Join the entrepreneurial game for OTHER reasons apart from the search for happiness.

Once you become an entrepreneur, if you don’t achieve growth, you’ll get back to feeling sad and unfulfilled again.
