KI'm not sure where you're coming from.
Why do you think I have this limiting belief? I don't
That’s a whole new thread and something I’m willing to explore.Honestly? In a certain sense, finding my partners and employees was a matter of luck. I have no clue how it happened, hence I cannot replicate it.
Finding my fiancée was also a matter of luck. I cannot replicate it. (I'm not talking here about the development of the relationship, but the start of it – that's what I can't replicate).
Neither of those responses are helpful though for someone looking for a fiancée or partners/employees.
Let me put the question differently. If somehow all your skills, money and connections were taken away from you, what would you do?
You'd have to do something right?
So what would that be?
Would you make a list of the biggest companies in your city and seek for a job?
Would you open Upwork and apply for a freelancing job?
Would you find a conference about something that interests you and attend?
Would you attend events at the Chamber of Commerce?
Would you read the newspaper looking for opportunities?
What would you do to "figure it out" as you put it?
That said, it’s not a roadmap, it’s just one way. You said it yourself, you don’t even know how to replicate what you did. Neither do I. I just made the best decisions I could when I made them.
If I started over with nothing I would get likely get different results. I would probably even be in a different industry. Who knows.
But I’ll think of dissertation on what I would do if I was put in an undercover billionaire situation. That said, it will only be helpful as an example. Not a roadmap.
For now, just know that I believe if you want to be an entrepreneur, you should start trying to be one. Don’t talk yourself out of it with a bunch of bullshit limiting cupcake beliefs.
