The Entrepreneur's Guide: Recent Episodes
Wendell Fowlkes, Tionna McCoy
We’re an entrepreneur couple and we've been part-time entrepreneurs for several years but we've recently decided to go all in and become full-time entrepreneurs. We have multiple business ventures that we'll be pursuing, and as we learn and grow, we’ll share what’s working and what’s not working for us, how we’re facing the obstacles, and more.
New Episodes Every Tuesday @ 3pm.
This episode we're talking about why you shouldn't just get a job and the real purpose for work. Work is meant to help us create the life we want, be some of us are comprising the lifestyle we want because we were taught that real success is having a job. So after we've invested 12 years of our life, and maybe more if you've went to college, we come out with one mission... get a job. We never stop to think about the life we want and how we can come up with a strategic plan to use work to create the life we truly desire. School and our loved ones have taught us to focus on the job only, and very little lessons are taught (if any) on investing in our own growth and development, in relationships, and all the other things in life. We spend a lot of time being tunnel visioned, and only once we retire are we able to feel like we have the freedom to live our lives the way we desired. Why wait? Learn to create the life you want now. Invest in your dream lifestyle, and make sure your job is helping you to reach that goal, not causing you to be stagnant.

Some people are afraid to fail, afraid of what it might mean for them, or just afraid to be in an uncomfortable position. We may be hiding behind excuses as to why we don't start the business we'd like to start because we can't even admit that we're just afraid to fail. It's time for us to stop making excuses, and to dive into our dreams, and face every fear of failure. 9 times out of ten, you'll look back and be grateful for all your many mistakes, because they taught you what success could never teach you. Join us in this episode of facing your failures.

This episode, we're talking about the reality of the competitive market, based on our experience. For a long time we've been told that we have to study our competitors and make sure we're not falling behind the curve. There's the sense of measuring your companies success based on other companies in your profession. Also, a perception that in order to be competitive in the marketplace, you have to strategically do better than those other companies so that you can steal their clients away from them.
In our experience, this has never been the case. We've studied our so called "competitors" not to steal clientele but to understand what clients look for and what they value. In these days, the competitors even let you know what they're doing to be successful so that you can learn and grow in your business. With the competitive market, it may not be as competitive as we were taught.

A lot of our insecurities can come up when thinking about starting a business, offering our services, and pursuing our dreams. Although some professions require a lot of planning to get it off the ground, getting the momentum started can be very simple. Don't overthink it, don't let fear stop you or hinder you, don't wait until everything is perfect, but take the simplest steps to get started. You could get the momentum going by simply telling someone, or start creating sample work to display on social media, offer your services for free to build credibility, and there are so many other creative and efficient ways to get started. No-one starts a new company perfectly, you will make mistakes, you will face obstacles, no matter if you learn everything you need to know about your profession, no matter if you have the latest equipment and the best team, and no matter if you start today or wait tomorrow, you won't be able to eliminate all the obstacles so jump in and get started.
