From Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur
A lot of people dream about starting their own business, but often find themselves caught up in endless planning, striving for perfection and feeling the pressure. The real challenge isn’t about strategy – it’s about those sneaky belief systems we all have. Think of this as a little mindset makeover. Just like Tony Robbins and Oprah say, the real magic happens in your mind. It’s all about shifting from just thinking to actually doing – from feeling stuck to really taking off.
Many aspiring entrepreneurs are running on an old mindset – like outdated operating system (OS) driven by fear, survival instincts, or the need to be perfect. This mental programming leads to overthinking, avoiding action and doubting yourself. Until you update it, no strategy will really work. The transformation starts by recognising these limiting beliefs, getting your inner world in check and taking small, purposeful steps. Change your mindset, and you’ll change your results.
Strategies
Spot the Loop
Catch yourself saying: “I’m just not ready yet.” That’s a perfectionism loop. Flip it to: “I’m willing to grow as I go.” Readiness comes from movement, not mastery.
Name the Story
Write down the belief that keeps looping in your head. Is it “I’m not good enough” or “Who will listen to me?” Get it out of your head and onto paper.
Activate the Power Hour
Commit to 60 minutes of focused action daily. No scrolling. No tweaking logos. One clear needle-moving task. The goal is action, not outcome.
Embrace Imperfect Beginnings
Let version 1.0 shine – unpolished, authentic and true. This is where momentum is born. Your refined masterpiece will follow the courage of your first bold step.
Rewire with Language
Stop saying “I’m trying to start a business.” Say “I’m building my business.” Language shapes identity. You’ll rise to meet your words.
Switch the OS
Each time fear kicks in, remind yourself: this is just an old programme running. You’re no longer that person. You’re updating. Choose thoughts aligned with the entrepreneur you’re becoming.
Get Coaching Support
If you could have thought your way out of it, you would’ve by now. Wantrepreneurs stay stuck alone. Entrepreneurs invest in accountability, reflection and guidance.
Conclusion
being a wantrepreneur isn’t a flaw, it’s a phase. But it becomes a trap when you mistake thinking for doing. The gap between your potential and your progress isn’t strategy… it’s belief. It’s time to ditch the BS, switch the OS, and start building like you mean it. You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to begin – and keep showing up. The future version of you is waiting. Let’s go get ’em.
Ponderings
What belief is keeping me from launching the business I dream about?
Where am I choosing comfort over courage in my day-to-day?
What story have I outgrown but still secretly listen to?
If I acted like an entrepreneur today, what would I do differently?
