THAT SEPARATE ENTREPRENEURS

FROM WANTREPRENERUS

The Social Network for

New Product Development

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

• Engage everyone willing to listen about

what you plan on doing

• Don’t just have conversations, but

really listen to what people are saying

• Figure out what the market wants

• Take action on feedback and

comments you have received

• Analyze the essentials and luxuries in

your current lifestyle

• Adjust to dedicate the appropriate

amount time to your startup

• Make sacrifices and go all-in

• Invest in the future

• Examine your current operation to

discover where you need help

• Make new hires and expand to provide

the resources your startup needs

• Let your role evolve with the changing

environment of your startup

• Hand over responsibilities to new hires

• Remain confident in your startup and

employees to run on their own

The only way to get over your fears is to

have a little confidence and go for it.

Entrepreneurship is risky and scary,

and that fear can paralyze your chances

of success.

Just start, fix problems as they appear,

and enjoy the journey.
