Are you a "WANTrepreneur"? A deeper look at the makings of an entrepreneur
Ahhhhh good ole Entrepreneurship.
It's more than just a dream; it's a journey filled with challenges and opportunities. Beyond having a brilliant idea and time on your side, it demands patience, resilience, the right mindset, and unwavering support.
If you've started a passion project and aren't seeing the results you anticipated, what's your next move? Do you keep pushing forward or take a step back?
Self-doubt creeps in as you struggle to gain visibility, attract clients or customers, and generate income. You might find yourself questioning, "Is this the right path for me?" or "Am I on the right track?"
The entrepreneurial journey is often tougher than we imagine.
So, do you aspire to be an entrepreneur?
While it's a commendable goal, entrepreneurship isn't for everyone – and that's perfectly okay. Wanting to be an entrepreneur isn't enough; it's about committing to the relentless effort required and focusing on personal growth.
Are you destined to be an entrepreneur?
While trying is essential, it's equally important to come to terms with the possibility that entrepreneurship may not align with your calling. However, this journey can still teach you valuable lessons about your core values and unique skills. It might lead you to a fulfilling career that brings purpose without the 9-to-5 grind.
When you face demotivation in your entrepreneurial endeavors, what questions do you ask yourself?
"Is this what I should be doing? What if it isn't?" (The language of a 'Wantrepreneur')
"How badly do I want this? What do I need to do next?" (The language of a 'MEANTrepreneur™')
What language do you speak?
Here are some thought-provoking questions to guide you on this journey:
Why did you choose entrepreneurship?
What made you believe you could do it?
What kept you committed to your goals?
When did doubt start to creep in?
How many times did you try?
How comfortable are you asking for help?
When do you decide 'enough is enough'?
What led you to question your path in the first place?
How badly do you want this?
The final question is crucial – it's the one you should keep asking yourself at every turn. It's not about feeling guilty if you can't answer it definitively, but rather, can you ask it in the first place?
