“You ARE an entrepreneur. Don’t let other people tell you otherwise.”
In this episode of The Disruptive Entrepreneur Podcast, Rob Moore shares the 10 signs that make you an entrepreneur. You may not be aware that you have these characteristics, weird or not, which you can harness then to be the best you can be. Rob has seen them on himself and shares his experiences to get the most out of its upsides.
Discover why, when feeling overwhelmed, you must push yourself otherwise as you will never grow as an entrepreneur. Rob also advises that you take the opportunity and the risk to succeed, not beat yourself up, push through your comfort zone, and embrace sales & marketing.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
You’re always overwhelmed. Most successful entrepreneurs are pushing beyond their limits and getting out of their comfort zones. The tasks and activities they do are brimming over of what they’ve set to achieve.
You see opportunity in everything and you can’t help it. The upside and downside are everything you see is money-making. Explore outside your industry and learn what could be a successful business venture.
You feel alone sometimes. People around might seem a bit off that you don’t go for the normal 9-5 job. They’ve got opinions on how you do things. And, that’s alright. You just have to remember to reach out to your team, your mentors, and your colleagues.
You sometimes think it’s a thankless task to be an entrepreneur. There are times that we think that we’ve done a lot for other people and we don’t get the credit we deserve. Learn to tell yourself every day that you have and can give the most value. Be grateful for what you do and what impact you’ve given to others.
You beat yourself up. Sometimes, you compare yourself to others and nothing you do seems to be enough. You’re unique and you’re enough. Take joy in small successes. Learn to leverage your fears and doubts to step up.
You feel you’re destined for greatness. Rob: “I can’t tell you specifically in words or vision what it is I feel like that is special or unique or great about me but I have a feeling inside that I’m destined for more than what I’m doing. I’m supposed to be bigger, contribute more, and grow more than I am.”
You know you need to and you want to serve others equally, as well as meeting your self-interest. You can indulge yourself with what you want for yourself – the education, the material needs, etc. – but you have to do something valuable for the society. Help and try to give back.
You embrace sales and marketing. Rob: “Nothing moves until you sell something.”
You hate being told what to do. If you’re like Rob who sees himself as a contrarian, he advises that you have to relearn to give instructions and maintain a good relationship with your team.
You embrace risk. Get yourself out of your comfort zone to get more opportunities. Don’t be afraid to explore, fail and go beyond what you could do.
BEST MOMENTS
“If you’re not taking more than you can handle, you’re not growing.”
“A lot of people think that what they’re going through, they’re going through alone. But what you’re going through as an entrepreneur, every entrepreneur is going through. It’s completely normal.”
“Every time you beat yourself down, have the courtesy to lift yourself up too.”
“The ideal balance of self-worth and net worth is that border between selflessness and selfishness.”
