Avoiding Undeserved Dopamine

What is Dopamine?

Dopamine is a chemical that releases when a form of satisfaction is achieved. You can achieve via any methodology, long as it makes the individual content with their desire.

Now one common problem that is seen in business is that people are quick to tell others they have a business.

Ego At Play

Some people start a business with the idea that they can go around telling others they have a business, and achieve that Dopamine hit. To look like productive person you hear about in social media. When in reality they are not profiting.

I have some malice towards these people. I always like to question them on things that would disprove their business is actually a business.

I would ask, if they have a website up and running, if they’re profiting, or if they produce any kind of results. Usually it’s none of those things.

You don’t own a business if you’re not profiting. I noticed this in people who has failed their businesses. They only care about the title of being a business owner, they never really did much. Majority of the time, they didn’t even have a website up.

How I got Wrecked

I personally experienced this myself, a long time ago I collaborated with a business partner selling phone accessories believing I was some hotshot business owner. Just to later on realized I was working with a bad actor, and quit the business since the person was lazy.

You can tell people about your business if they ask, but I would keep details limited and just focusing on impressing yourself and not other people.

Now if you do start a business I would suggest starting a website first with Squarespace, I’m not a webdev, this makes it all the more easier for me to get anything started.

Be sure to share this with your friends and family if you want to improve their financial situation.
