The Trap of Wantrepreneurs

ByJowi

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.

    I see this every day online. People struggling to get a client. Struggling to make money. I have been there before. Aiming to reach a monthly income, ready for the harvest — and then coming up empty. No income. No clients. Just crickets. I thought I had good product. But in reality, I was more focused on what I would get out than what I gave. I didn’t actually sow any seeds. I was preparing for the harvest— only to wonder why it never came. That was a hard lesson. I still remember how…

  • Better Offer

    Better Offer The most important thing to improve is: Your offer. This is the foundation of your business. There is no way around that. If you don’t have an offer or you have a bad offer – nobody will buy. Nobody will talk with you. It’s like you’re trying to sell old fish. It smells so bad that nobody is willing to get close to you. No matter how much Marketing you do, word about your bad fish will spread. No matter how much you have optimized in your business or even automated. If your offer…
