I don’t know if I’d call it a mistake, but what they do is, they see people with the “entrepreneur” identity, and they want that identity, but they don’t actually want to do the day-to-day stuff entrepreneurs do. They don’t actually like doing entrepreneurship. You see this same thing in the arts a lot, people wanting to “be artists” or “be musicians” or “be actors,” but they don’t actually like making art, playing music, or acting.
There’s a lot of the same thing in the filmmaking subs I’m on. People post in there about wanting to be great directors, and their posts are all like, “I have wanted to be a director for years. I watch films by Tarantino and Nolan and Spielberg and I find them so inspiring. I want to be like those guys. Despite wanting to be a director for years, I have never actually made a single film of any kind. Yes, I have owned a phone with a high quality camera built into it for my entire adult life, why do you ask? I don’t see how that’s relevant.”
