Are you a Starter or a Sustainer?
Susties, represent!
I love being an entrepreneur. But for the longest time, I thought I could never be one.
Why?
I thought the entrepreneurs in my area were fundamentally different than me.
Whatever they were, I just… wasn’t.
I didn’t like going out every night. I wasn’t extroverted.
I craved stability in my business.
If something went wrong, I delved deep into my processes and tried to find a solution for the problem. I didn’t just hold a meeting and find a patch solution, as they seemed to.
The idea of launching something new every few months scared me. “How would anything good stay?” I thought.
The very concepts of MORE BETTER, GROWTH ALWAYS made me sweat.
I just wanted to make good things and keep making them.
More importantly, I wanted to make things that anyone could understand. Things that made sense. Things that people actually said they needed.
New things were not always good things to me.
But that seemed to be the attitude du jour for entrepreneurs. I despaired.
