Episode 266: The Difference Between Wannabe Entrepreneurs and Successful Ones According to Dr. Benjamin Hardy

  • Summary

  • Why is it that over 50% of people want to start a business–but only 7% actually do?

    What sets apart the wannabes from the successful entrepreneurs?

    In the newest episode of Euphoric the Podcast, I dive into the groundbreaking research of organizational psychologist Dr. Benjamin Hardy, who is also the bestselling author of Be Your Future Self Now and 10x is Easier Than 2x.

    His thesis, Does It Take Courage to Start a Business?, reveals some surprising truths: like why some people get stuck in the “wannabe” entrepreneurial stage. What holds them back?

    The single biggest difference between those who dream and those who do? The Point of No Return. Just like a plane that’s reached takeoff speed on the runway, once you hit this point, there’s no turning back.

    This is the moment when an entrepreneur goes ALL in and commits - they invest in the certification or business program, invest in a ton of product, or quit their job. What’s YOUR point of no return?

    The episode dives into other attributes that sets successful entrepreneurs apart, including their values, what kind of mentorship they get, and how men and women do it differently.



    IN THIS EPISODE:

    • The point of “no return” and why a significant investment in your business is the ultimate game-changer, propelling you from dreamer to doer
    • Why successful entrepreneurs think differently about uncertainty — and how to rewire your mindset to do the same
    • How working with a coach skyrockets your motivation and courage, transforming your business dreams into reality
    • The surprising truth about how long it actually takes to go from wanting a business to launching one (and how to speed up the process)
    • Why more men start businesses than women, and how to break through the hesitation that may be keeping you stuck in the “wannabe” phase
