Don’t make excuses, instead, we must find one reason that trumps the excuses and double down on it. I do believe the saying is true, but it should only be used as a guiding principle and not as a rule. Too often am I hearing people with big ideas and big excuses. They talk about how they would do anything and everything in the world if they just had money and they act like you can’t do anything until that’s the case. That is what entitlement looks like when you have nothing to offer, or at least you haven’t presented something worth investing in and expect that the money would solve everything. The reality is that lazy people who don’t work to get funding, or barter, or problem solve and find some way to do any of the things they espouse they will do eventually won’t become entrepreneurs by being given money, but rather it wasn’t for them and it’s just another person caught in the trap of thinking entrepreneurship is a get rich quick shortcut in life. It’s not.
