Not knowing the difference between want and need. They may want many things, but often don’t do the things that they absolutely “need” to. Example, an acquaintance of mine really wants to get into business. But, never really gets to doing what he needs to. And what every entrepreneur needs to do is actually get their hands dirty. Entrepreneurship isn’t sitting at a beautiful desk and watching the skyline from your corner office. It’s actually about getting your hands in the mud, getting on the phone, meeting anybody who’s willing to take a chance on you, sleepless nights and always remembering that you eat last. Sure, this happens at a mesmerising corner office too, but that comes later, and when you’ve made it, and earned it.
