Hey,
Right now, I work a menial, entry-level accounting job. Although I do the work very quickly, I make probably the highest amount of mistakes of anyone on my team. This makes me feel hopeless about my chances at Fastlane entrepreneurship because I remember my parents laughing at me when I said I wanted to be an entrepreneur straight out of high school and telling me, “you have to have a job first before you become an entrepreneur,” and also telling me “you have to master the bottom before you can get to the top,” and “you can’t just be a CEO tomorrow.” This still happens today when I tell them what I really want to do with my life.
Would it really make you a worse entrepreneur if you suck at your job? Does it really matter?
