Ep 55: 7 Reasons Entrepreneurship Might Not Be For You

Many people dream about being their own boss. They have a desire to quit their jobs, become an entrepreneur and do what they love for a living. One problem though... Entrepreneurship is NOT for everyone. Not everyone has what it takes to put in the hard work, to be in control of their own destiny, and to do what it takes to have a successful business.

 

In this episode, Coach Stone breaks down 7 reasons entrepreneurship is not for you. 

[2:48] I want to talk about seven reasons why you're not cut out to be an entrepreneur. If any of these reasons kind of ring true for you, then I'm not saying that it's not for you. I'm just saying you have to evaluate where you are with these things.

[4:20] Being an entrepreneur, you're going to have to get outside of your comfort zone, you're going to have to stretch yourself, you're going to have to grow yourself mentally, spiritually, physically, you have to grow. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you can't be comfortable.

[5:58] Entrepreneurship, and being a business owner is not about making quick money, it just doesn't happen like that. And even if it does, is not going to be sustainable.

[9:23] If you hate sales and marketing, if you hate promoting things, if you hate talking about you know your products and services to potential customers, then being an entrepreneur is not for you because you're constantly communicating to people what it is that you do, what products you sell, the services that you offer. 

[12:58] If you are somebody who constantly makes plans and doesn't execute, then no entrepreneurship not for you.

[21:34] Being an entrepreneur is all about that. It's all about solving a big problem, and then positioning how you're solving that problem. 

[24:58] At the end of the day, it's up to you. If you want to try it, put yourself out there, find something that you're absolutely passionate about, find a big problem that you solve, investigate it, research it and then start it as a side hustle, and if it takes off then maybe you launch it as a full-on business.
