The Entrepreneurship Statistical Indicators from the latest EU 2024 report are truly eye-opening regarding the reality of what being an entrepreneur means: 77% start their business using personal savings, the median annual income for an entrepreneur stands at €40K-60K, average working hours are 54 hours a week compared to standard 9-5 working hours of 36 hours per week.  Being an entrepreneur requires commitment, dedication and resilience.  However, despite the long hours, risk and isolation, the emotional rewards of pursuing one’s passion is always what shines through when working with these amazing individuals. 

So, reach out for help, ask for help, there are supports for us.
