Differences Between Entrepreneurs & Wantrepreneurs destiny-entrepreneur.com /differences-between-entrepreneurs-wantrepreneurs/

Nowadays people do not aspire to work for a big company and climb the corporate ladder. They would rather reach for success by having their own business. But there’s a huge difference between wantrepreneurs and entrepreneurs, i.e. those who want to be entrepreneurs but don’t quite pull it off:

Entrepreneurs believe in themselves while wantrepreneurs think it’s all about them

Wantrepreneurs think the business revolves around them. Entrepreneurs believe in themselves, in their team. They know they can’t do it alone, that their team is essential for the growth and success of the business. Initially, their team could just be mentors or a support structure on their entrepreneurial journey.

Entrepreneurs keep moving while wantrepreneurs keep complaining

Entrepreneurs make things happen, no matter how small a step forward it is. Wantrepreneurs are always looking for excuses and complain when it gets hard to get going.

Entrepreneurs don’t let failures stop them while wantrepreneurs easily get discouraged 1/4

Steve Jobs said, “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the nonsuccessful ones is pure perseverance.”

Entrepreneurs carry on, learn from their mistakes and work it off. Thomas Edison kept working on discovering the light bulb after failing 1,000 times. Wantrepreneurs get discouraged and stop altogether.

Entrepreneurs aim to be the best while wantrepreneurs aim to be rich

Entrepreneurs work to be the best in their industry, to leave their mark on the world. They believe in passion before profits. Money to them is just a side benefit, a prize for doing a good job. Wantrepreneurs work only for the money.

Entrepreneurs work hard for the business while wantrepreneurs work hard for their image

Thomas Edison said, “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.”

Entrepreneurs work hard to make their business a success. They’re too busy with working to worry about what other people think about them. Wantrepreneurs don’t have the patience to work on the business. They look for shortcuts and prefer to spend their time making people think they are already a success.

Entrepreneurs work to get what they need while wantrepreneurs wait for it to be given

True entrepreneurs do not wait for funding or additional resources to start and keep on going. They find ways to raise capital and work to get additional funds. Wantrepreneurs don’t do anything until they get the capital they think they need to get the business off the ground.

Entrepreneurs innovate while wantrepreneurs procrastinate

Entrepreneurs don’t wait for the perfect idea to come to their mind. They know it doesn’t have to be original or unique to make it successful. Often the best idea is seeing the gap or the need to improve on what already exists.

And a lot of successful businesses started with the entrepreneur needing something he/she couldn’t find anywhere.

2/4

Wantrepreneurs, on the other hand, obsess about finding the right idea or the next big trend that will get them rich quickly.

Entrepreneurs are risk-takers while wantrepreneurs are risk-averse

The business world is tough and only a handful survive the cutthroat arena. Entrepreneurs are not afraid to risk their funds, image, or business because they believe in their business, their product. They know the risks involved and yet they put out. Wantrepreneurs would rather bet on a sure thing.

Entrepreneurs are driven by their passion while wantrepreneurs are driven by someone else’s passion

An entrepreneur is driven by his passion for his business. It is something he loves to do, something he believes in.

Wantrepreneurs follow the trend, simply because it has proven successful already.

This is why entrepreneurs live a life of passion and fulfillment while wantrepreneurs live a life filled with stress and regret for not following their dreams.
