Everyone goes through growing stages. I wrote this for the entrepreneurs that are categorized in the stages I am about to mention. Use it how you want but the purpose is to use it as a tool to skip what is not needed.
Stage 2
Inspiration
At this stage you are probably reading books, audio podcasts, and listening to motivational speeches. By this point, you are probably providing a side hustle as in freelance writing, photography, taught yourself how to click and drag a site together and called it a business.
Where most get stuck
Stage 5
The Business Man
You no longer need to be motivated to do what you need to do. It becomes second nature. You take calculated risks in hopes of a good ROI (return Of investment). You will fail but you will analyze your performance, and fix the business model or procedure to be able to excecute the results you were looking for. You no longer have the ability to go ask someone what you should do because you know what is in the best interest for your business. You understand that consistency and action is key and that motivational speeches and quotes get you nowhere.
