What Does It Take To Be An Entrepreneur?

Ever consider starting your own business? Whether you want to embrace the digital nomad lifestyle or purchase a franchise, becoming an entrepreneur is more feasible than ever.

But are you truly ready to become your own CEO and wear all the different hats required to run a successful business? It’s important to understand just how much you will rely solely on yourself to keep the ship upright and sailing once you take the leap.

In this episode, Ben and Andrew discuss why entrepreneurship is becoming more common, why curiosity, bravery, and courage is key, and insight to what’s guided them throughout their own entrepreneurial journey.

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

Understanding how the access to entrepreneurship has evolved How being an entrepreneur is similar to wayfinding Accepting the possibility of failure and going for it anyway

Must-listen moments:

[00:06:11] It really just allows people to have a lot more control over their lives and it allows people to look at themselves and say what are my skills? What are my passions? What am I excited about and what do I have to offer other people that can maybe make me happy and make them happy? And at the end of the day…make a buck off of it, too.

[00:12:04] You've got to have an inner resilience and an inner fire, because no one's going to drive you…being out on an island alone cannot scare you. You've got to be all right with being with yourself and by yourself.

[00:18:09] Being an entrepreneur takes courage, it's scary stuff and you've got to be okay with confronting that scariness or just working, living with it, and not letting it keep you from taking action.

Remember, don’t eat the red berries along the way, be ready to put in the work to make sure operations, marketing, and sales are running as smoothly as possible, and always know your why!
