I see technical pre entrepreneurs as hesitant. If you’re in a tech major, there should be zero hesitation. If you’re near the Bay Area this summer, you should spend 10 hours PRACTICING entrepreneurship.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3 months of summer. 10 hours total<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
It’s contrarian. But I see these 17 bullet-pointed truths as incredibly self evident.<\/div>\n

The 17 hesitations<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The seventeen hesitations in practicing<\/div>\n

\/1\/ Your major is a perfection.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Studying is a perfection. Entrepreneurship is nearly the opposite. Engineering school has classes you can perfect. Entrepreneurship is like yoga. U just remember to breath and no one is perfect.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\/2\/ Hesitation from analysis<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Per 100 units of technically trained people curious about entrepreneurship, I can’t tell which popcorn will pop and which won’t.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The lump-sum-loser category wants to always meet to talk. And discuss. I guess talking and meetings suck cuz they do suck.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\/3\/ Hesitation from realizing how dumb other people are<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
A person is smart, but people are dumb. Have u heard this before?? It’s so true.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
You’re doing what Robert Ciadini’s Persuasion book says. It says to sell people.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\/4\/ Hesitation from realizing how bad of an employee other people are<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
It’s bad<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/5\/ Hesitation from realizing how PROCRASTINATORIAL other people are<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Spend 10 hours to move fast. You can practice doing an 11 minute industry party that you engineer up a tidal wave of momentum, perpetual promotion machine for. EUTWMPPM <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/6\/ Hesitation from using your own name because you won’t be perfect<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
You will be perfect if you mind-meld with me. If calling or texting seems too daunting, then just stalk my 3000 blog posts.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Read my stuff so that we mentor mentee mind meld.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/7\/ Hesitation from failing to realize how dumb other people are<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I can’t stress this enough. People are dumb. A person is smart. People as a whole don’t have bandwidth to be ‘mentor marketed’ to. Mentor marketing is where you don’t sell people, you mentor them.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/8\/ Hesitation from doing a wordpress.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Remember, your blog is simply basic information and nearly no opinion.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
YOU CAN’T BE JUDGED FOR BLOGGING: the optometry conference will be in denver. And then adding 11 sentences, two pics from last years event, and then pointing to an Eventbrite page.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/9\/ Hesitation from hosting.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Hosting seems daunting but it’s pivotal in gaining early traction. 3 people could show up and it’s a success.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
I’ll help you engineer up an event.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/10\/ Hesitation keeps you from capitalizing on the fact that 50 year old event planners are uber lazy<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Events have holes. Most events are last years photocopy. Execute a solution to make the industry conference suck less<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
\/11\/ Hesitation.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Don’t wait to perfect a prototype.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
Just sell something quasi innovative that exists already. If you feel like a fraud, combine two things that exist already and create the “new” thing<\/span><\/div>\n
