What does it mean to be an entrepreneur?

Is an entrepreneur born or made?

We often want to HAVE things and DO things but we fail to appreciate the process and the necessary focal point: To Be!

I've come across the concept of BE-DO-HAVE again, and while I've heard it before, it now strikes deep into what I've been thinking about as I've planned what's in store for CFV in 2024. I've been constantly guilty of focusing on the Having and the Doing without embracing the constant state of Being or Becoming.

That's what this episode is about: the acceptance of Becoming. Embracing the Suck of being an entrepreneur.

Often, this process is not "fun". We are prioritizing this activity over many other things in our life. Sometimes those things don't need to be in our lives, and sometimes it's family time or small trips. For me, it's sacrificing a few hunting trips on the weekend this year to focus on what I need to do to accomplish my goals. The nightly TV or movies on the weekends, that's quite a bit easier to give up. Spending time with family. While I'm not giving this up, it means I have to find a way to prioritize and work around it.

At the end of the day, we shift our daily paradigm from HAVE-DO-BE to BE-DO-HAVE by changing our habits.

This episode explores the why and the how of that process.
