Beginning your own business may be both immensely difficult and rewarding. For 25-year-old CEO Hunter J. Haselrig of Positive Space Media, entrepreneurship has been a journey of self-discovery, personal growth, and a path to professional success.
“Entrepreneurship has been a great experience for my mental health,” says Haselrig. “It’s allowed me to do what I love every day, to feel a sense of accomplishment when I reach big milestones, and to persevere through hard times.”
One of the key benefits of entrepreneurship, according to Haselrig, is the ability to do what you love every day. “When you’re passionate about your work, it doesn’t feel like work,” he says. “I love being able to wake up every morning and work on something I truly care about.”
Another benefit of entrepreneurship is the feeling of accomplishment that comes with reaching big milestones. “When you set a goal for your business, and you’re able to achieve it, it’s an incredibly rewarding feeling,” says Haselrig. “It’s a reminder that all the hard work and sacrifices you’ve made are paying off.”
Of course, entrepreneurship is not without its challenges. “There are definitely times when things get tough, and it can be hard to keep going,” says Haselrig. “But the ability to persevere through those hard times and come out stronger on the other side is incredibly rewarding.”
Through the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, Haselrig has learned a lot about himself and his capabilities. “Starting your own business requires a lot of self-reflection and self-awareness,” he says. “You have to be willing to take risks, to learn from your mistakes, and to push yourself outside of your comfort zone.”
Ultimately, entrepreneurship can be an incredible path for personal and professional growth. “It’s a journey that challenges you in so many ways, but the rewards are worth it,” says Haselrig. “If you’re willing to put in the work, to stay focused on your goals, and to believe in yourself, anything is possible.”
Furthermore, entrepreneurship can also provide a sense of control and autonomy over one’s life and career path. As a CEO, Haselrig has the freedom to make important decisions and steer his company in the direction he believes is best. “Having control over my work and my career has been incredibly empowering,” he says. “I’m not beholden to anyone else’s vision or agenda. I get to make the decisions that will shape my future.”
Moreover, entrepreneurship can also lead to a sense of community and connection with others. “Starting a business requires a lot of support and collaboration,” says Haselrig. “I’ve been fortunate to have a team of people who believe in my vision and who are willing to work alongside me to make it a reality. Building those relationships and connections has been one of the most fulfilling aspects of this journey.”
While entrepreneurship is not without its challenges, the journey of starting and growing a business can be a path to personal and professional growth and fulfillment. As Haselrig notes, “If you have a dream and a vision, don’t be afraid to go after it. The rewards are there for those who are willing to put in the work.”
