The Trap of Wantrepreneurs

A lot more people want to start a business today.
A lot of people dream about the life they are wishing to live.

But only a few starts —
and even fewer succeed.

I’ve been working on my business for the last 8 years.
From having the idea, pivoting to a different offer, to learning the required skills—it has taken me a while.

The last 5 years I fully committed to the craft.

The reality is: starting a business is hard work.
I have not been part of the community for a while.
It took me a long time to figure out what to do.

Because the people I asked for advice were wantrepreneurs.

The advice I got was from fans of the sport—not from players.

There are more people learning to become entrepreneurs than there are entrepreneurs.

It is hard to get out of the Fans to the actual Players, especially when you’re starting out.

But you just need to commit to work.
Make the first step.

I know this is scary, because it is new.
The first steps are always the hardest.

That’s why I love being part of communities now.
Being part of a committed group makes so much of a difference.

Don’t become a life-long Wantrepreneur—only watching from the sidelines.

Only to later ask the question:
“What would’ve been if I actually tried?”

Don’t set yourself up for regret.
Find people that actually make a difference. Join them.
