I recently heard a discussion that struck a cord with me. Someone was talking about the difference between faith and trust. The context I heard it was purely in a religious, but the message applies in any context. Here was the basic premise. Trust is believing because you have seen evidence to believe. For example, when you sit down on a chair, you trust it will hold your weight and won’t break. Do you know that for sure? No, but it may have been a chain you sat in before, or you saw someone else your size sit in the chair without any issue. Faith is believing something without any reason. Heaven is typically the best example of these. Countless people every day believe in a higher power and the belief in the afterlife. No one that I know of has any proof of what happens when we die. Yet billions of people have faith that if they live a good life, rewards await them after death.
What the hell does this have to do SAP or business? Well, every entrepreneur needs a healthy dose of trust and faith. First, you need to trust that it’s possible to start a business, make a profit, sell a product, make a product, etc. Why trust this? because millions of businesses have done this. Not every business lasts forever, but all of the things it takes to make a business successful have been done many times. In all these things you can trust. Now, the faith is the harder part. To make the business happen you need to have faith in your ideas, faith in your product, and most of all faith in yourself. You need to have the faith that you can put in the effort to make the idea into a reality. Faith that someone will buy your hard work. Faith that it is worth it!!!
Faith isn’t easy, but it’s powerful. Thanks for reading,
