Have You Ever Been Wrong About What You Want?

How many times in life have you set your sights on a goal, only to realize halfway through that it's not what you truly wanted? This isn't just a quirk of human nature; it's a a common theme. The same holds true for finding your "why" in business. As a lifelong entrepreneur, I’ve learned that many believe they need to start with a clear, unwavering purpose. However, the reality is often quite different.
The Myth of the Perfect Start
Starting with a defined "why" is a commendable goal, but it’s also a lofty one. I’ve seen many entrepreneurs, including myself, feel paralyzed, waiting for that perfect, crystal-clear motivation before they even begin. This is a myth that can hold back progress and stifle innovation. Your true "why" often reveals itself not at the start, but through the process of making progress.
Progress Fuels Passion
When you begin to take steps, no matter how small, you start to see results. These results, in turn, ignite a passion within you. This passion is what sharpens your focus and hones your true purpose. It’s through the ups and downs, the successes and failures, that you uncover what truly drives you. This leads you to your authentic "why."
Discovering Your "Why Not"
it’s often easier to find your "why not" first. Why not start a business? Why not try to be one of the 10 startups that don't fail? The action creates feedback and that feedback will help you make better decisions as you make progress.
