7 startup fears that separate entrepreneurs from wantrepreneurs
TRANSCRIPT
Every successful entrepreneur
started with just an idea.
What separated them from the
“idea-havers” and “Wantrepreneurs”
of the world was their willingness
to take a risk.
Stop being so scared.
Make something of your ideas.
Accept the risk.
Take action and fight these Fears!
• Overcome the negativity in your head
• Give yourself the opportunity to start
thinking realistically about your ideas
• Convince yourself to move forward
• Don’t feel overwhelmed
• Plan for everything you’ll need and
strategize around those resources
• Take the first real concrete steps in
testing your assumptions
• Get over the thoughts that your idea
will be questioned or even stolen
• Open up to conversations and
improvements on your concept

what you plan on doing
• Don’t just have conversations, but
really listen to what people are saying
