Entrepreneur vs business

Entrepreneur vs business:
Which game is harder?
Building a business, or building the person you have to become to run the business?
I’d say, the latter.
The person you have to become as an entreprenur is harder than running the business.
I had to:
- Overcome the dirty feeling of marketing in order to do marketing
- Change chronotype from night owl to early birdie
- Learn how to code when I hated math
- Build in public when I’m an introvert
- Sell and pitch to clients when I hate self-promotion
- Raise prices and charge more when I just want to give for free
Business is easy.
Being the person running the business… 10x harder. 100x.
BUT 100x more fulfiling.
No risk no reward, like they say.

@therealbrandonwilson YES. Any goal worth it’s weight will require that hard transformation

I would extend your logic to any goal — the identity transformation into the person who has what you want is the heavy lift.
