People want to be the noun without doing the verb.

They want the job title of founder or CEO, or a business card and a fancy website with a new logo, but they forget or overlook the daily rigors of running a business of their own. Having a brilliant idea or a passion to build a successful business is not enough. Ideas and dreams are nice, but they’re also cheap and meaningless if you don’t take action and do the work to make them happen.

The harder much harder part is making the dream happen everyday. Some days you're buried in accounting spreadsheets, other days, you're on the third round of contract negotitions with a client, or dealing with a struggling team member. The daily slog is what separates wannabe entrepreneurs from those who make it a reality.
