Articles to keep you from being a Wantapreneur: post here please!

[LynetteP]

I was thinking it would be great if anyone else had *short articles* for learning, to keep them all together by topic. So I'm hoping others will suggest other sources here on this thread.

Here's my suggested read. While I disagree with it about avoiding all luxury, point 2 about needing an identity shift hit home, and the rest of it makes a lot of sense. I'm having to unlearn the wrong mindset right now, so I'm taking action on that (while trying to sell something- anything- to get this ball rolling, which I think all that's needed to cement things in my mind). I've sold things before; even a $4000 ring, sight unseen, over the phone. I forgot I CAN sell stuff, because other people said I can't or shouldn't or it's too risky to have a business. Mindshift: I AM A DOER. Thanks @MidwestLandlord for the inspiration, and I hope this article helps another newbie!

The problem is that it is a wantrepreneur thing to read and post articles about NOT being a wantrepreneur.

I say this as someone who has read a TON of articles and books in the past thinking the answers to entrepreneurial greatness can be found in them.

They cannot.

Thinking for yourself is the answer.

Appreciate and understand the sentiment entirely. Yes, I did see the irony before I posted.

However, this entire section is for education, learning and books. I would hope that *shorter versions* of what is already categorized as an acceptable topic by the owner of the forums would be welcome.

You cannot simply do, when you don't know *what* to do.

You cannot avoid doing things that are not helpful when you don't know that they aren't helpful.

Articles would seem to be more Fastlane than books, and if I'm not mistaken, mindset is job number one. If mindset is incorrect, you can't move forward. (If you've never been there, you probably can't relate to this.)

And if you don't know what's wrong with your mindset, how on earth can you fix it? Hence the post.
