* entrepreneurs often have to give up expectations, sign up for big projects that they want to do and dream about. Because their capacity to do business is limited by the available resources.

• the entrepreneur is engaged in opening a business and at the risk of the enterprise. There is also no guarantee that he will be able to earn enough money to continue his activities and survive. There is a high level of work stress.

* entrepreneurs cannot always make a profit on their activities. Although this is their goal, sometimes they have to endure damage by not achieving this goal.

• the entrepreneur has no working hours. Especially at the initial stage, almost the entire day is spent at work. Long working hours not only destroy all the energy of the entrepreneur, but also steal it from the time of his personal life.

• the entrepreneur experiences failures before achieving success. Many entrepreneurs commit major failures several times before they succeed. as a result of long efforts, failure is a process that destroys the entrepreneur in a financial and psychological sense.
