Defining entrepreneur
I crossed the line from wantrepreneur to entrepreneur on July 14, 2023. I define a wantrepreneur as someone who talks about the business they are going to create, but never do. I define an entrepreneur as someone who has gotten another person to pay them for a product or service, and they have intent to create a business out of it.
The difference between wantrepreneur and entrepreneur
If you cut your buddy's lawn once and he paid you 50 dollars, but you don't plan to cut any other persons lawn, you aren't an entrepreneur. The missing piece of this example being intent. If you cut your buddy's lawn and then go own to cut other neighbors lawns with the plan of doing it for a while, that is an entrepreneur.
Entrepreneur Echoes
The main purpose of this first post isn't to talk about wantrepreneurs or entrepreneurs, but what Entrepreneur Echoes is. The purpose of this blog is going to be to document my entrepreneurial journey. I'm thinking that it would probably be a good idea to document my success, failures, lessons learned, and what I am trying out for that week. I would like to have a place that I can look back to in in the future to see how far I have come.
Now as for how I chose the name. I used ChatGpt. I originally wanted to name this blog to be called Wantrepreneur, I thought the irony was funny. Unfortunately, Wantrepreneur was taken, and so was Wantrapreneur. Here is the exact prompt that I used:
"I am trying to come up with a domain name for my website. It will primarily be a blog where I document the lessons that I am learning through entrepreneurship. I have a website agency with a single customer. I'll be blogging about the lessons learned from this business. I had originally thought of using the domain of "wantrepreneur.com" but that was taken. I liked the irony of the name. I also tried "entrepreneurentries" but that is too long and hard to read. I am looking for a domain name that gets the point across about what my blog is about, or is clever. Give me some possible domain names for my blog that are likely to be available."
One of the suggested names was Entrepreneur Echoes, I liked it enough to use it without changing it.
This is the style in which I will be writing my blog entries. I'll probably settle on a some kind of structured format, but until I figure that out, this is what its going to be like
PS:
I am writing this before I designed, or coded the site this blog entry will be on. This entry will be safe in my Obsidian vault until I get my site sorted out.
