What’s stopping you from becoming an entrepreneur?

Hint—it’s not what you tell yourself.

What you tell yourself are excuses. They pop into your brain as thoughts, like…

“I just don’t have time.”

“Maybe in a few months.”

“Well, first I’ll have to make a business plan, and then I’ll need to find clients and then…”

Those thoughts are coming from somewhere. They come from your emotions. And emotions can be irrational… and very, very powerful.

Emotions cause the sense of overwhelm when you think about the long, hard, lonely hours.

They cause the hazy uncertainty of ditching your stable and comforting routines.

They cause that churning in your gut when you realize you could fail.

Emotions are stopping you from entrepreneurship. The reasons may come and go. But the feelings stay the same.

So what are the feelings that come up when you think about starting a business? Are they moving you towards a destiny that excites you? Or are they moving you away from pursuing your potential?
