We all know what an entrepreneur is. In the most basic terms, this is an individual who starts new a new business or businesses and is able to spot opportunities even in the least expected ventures. In addition, entrepreneurs are not afraid to take risks in their attempt to gain more profits.

So who are the wantrepreneurs? Lately, this term keeps appearing in various business magazines and business-focused news websites. That is why we decided to spare some time on this new breed of businesspersons.

Wantrepreneurs are entrepreneur wannabes. In other words, those are people who wish to turn into entrepreneurs. However, they are also characterized by their lack of classic entrepreneurship qualities. For instance, while they may have good startup ideas, they are not actually making any steps towards their realization. Simply said, those are individuals who are either uncommitted or lack the ambition and boldness to turn their brilliant ideas into reality.

Nevertheless, there are other types of wantrepreneurs, whose hands are tied due to limited resources or skills. In these cases, the title “wantrepreneur” is simply a sign of the small number of alternatives that these business startups have.

However, there is one common thing between the two main types of wantrepreneurs – they both want profit and they want it now. Also, most of them expect a financial reward without really making much efforts towards that.

The good news is that there are some easy steps to help you steer clear from this definition. Here they are in short:

Lose the fear – No one likes failure, but if you keep thinking about this possibility, it will eventually strike you. It is better if you conquer all of your fears and grab the bull by the horns. In fact, there is something else of which you should be even more afraid – failure to even try. At least, if you do your best and everything falls apart, you would at least know that you had your shot.

Lack of ambition and motivation – Of course, these two things differ with every person. While some people are highly ambitious and driven, others are happy right where they are. If you feel like you do not feel motivated enough to try, then you probably do not want to. So, if you do not love it, do not waste your time and resources with it. Focus your energy on an area for which you feel more passionate.

How soon is now – Waiting, planning and preparing is a good strategy, especially when the economy has seen better days. However, you should not stay in this cycle for too long. Our advice is to research the market and sector you are interested it and make a one-year prognosis. Choose the best month to start and just do it. If you spend too much time getting ready to jump, the cliff would simply appear bigger and bigger.

Establish contacts – Connect with other entrepreneurs and even with potential clients and partners. They can all help you overcome the challenges and motivate you on your way up.

Most entrepreneurs first starts as a wantrepreneurs. However, once they gain the confidence, drive and skills they need to make their business successful, they often acquire the prestigious status “entrepreneur.” Therefore, if you see yourself more as a wannabe entrepreneur, you should just try and work more on these things in order to make things happen.
