Be	an	Entrepreneur

A	wantrepreneur	is	someone	who	wants	to	be	an	entrepreneur,	but	is	so	obsessed
with	 watching	 TED	 talks	 and	 talking	 about	 their	 business	 ideas	 that	 they	 never
launch	them.

You	 know	 the	 type?	 Every	 time	 you	 see	 them,	 they	 have	 a	 new	 million	 dollar
idea.	 Or	 a	 sad	 story	 about	 how	 they	 thought	 of	 Facebook	 three	 years	 before
Zuckerberg.

They	 don’t	 understand	 that	 entrepreneurs	 are	 rarely	 the	 inventors	 who	 came	 up
with	 breakthrough	 technologies.	 Instead,	 they	 are	 people	 who	 took	 a	 small
problem	and	worked	it	to	death	until	they	found	a	solution	that	gained	traction.

   If	you	have	a	conversation	with	a	friend

   about	your	business	idea	this	month,	and

      next	month	you	are	having	the	same

    conversation,	you	are	a	wantrepreneur.

If	you	want	to	be	an	entrepreneur,	you	have	to	launch.	If	you	follow	the	ideas	in
this	book,	I	believe	you	can	become	an	entrepreneur	by	this	time	next	week.
