Is business supposed to be fun?

[Bob Seeker]

I feel sort of afraid of this whole business thing. I’m still brainstorming ideas and it makes me anxious.

is business supposed to be fun?

is it serious if you fuck up or are you supposed to?

what is a good psychology to have in business?

[Matt23]

It can be as fun or stressful or serious as you want/make it.

Detachment.

Know that nothing really matters.  Yet act as if it does.  

You don't want to be careless.  But also, you don't want to get caught in spirals or anxiety and stress.  Find the middle ground and what works for you.

Also think sustainably.  Can you do business long-term while you're feeling as stressed as you do?  Enjoying the process is actually also better for survival in this sense.

What's your motivation for starting business?  Love, fear (financial?), fun, to be taken seriously, ...?

What would enjoying the process of business look and feel like to you?  

[Bob Seeker]

@Matt23 right.

 My initial motivation was fear of wage slavery.

not ideal. 
 

now I’m seeing the possibility of fun and creativity entering the picture.

I want to work on my psychology to have positive motivation.

Biz is like life. It's fun but if you fuck up you're dead

failure is good as long as you learn form it and then do not repeat the same mistakes.

yeah. it seems reasonable that many of my ideas will not work. I’ll probably be like one of those dog simulations trying to teach itself how to walk?
