      To explain: Our heroes were once military, presidents, scientists, astronauts. Now they’re the people who founded co's. Our culture has created celebrities of Bezos, Gates, & Buffett. Really? (The BS notion today’s heroes are mostly white men is another topic.) 2/x

      It’s so pervasive that I didn’t notice this weird dynamic either. It affected my help to aspiring entrepreneurs. I’d hear their desire to be a founder. I’d cheer them! “Yes, you can start a business!” 3/x

      Yet many never did anything except talk. (Or worse, wait for mentors to tell them what to do). It was very frustrating and confusing as a mentor/coach. “Surely this life is for me? Why won’t these others just do it?” I thought. It all clicked when two things happened. 4/x

      One, I started using personality assessments. Things like DISC, Culture Index, Strengths Finder, etc. All agree only some people are wired to stomach risk, pressure, leadership, and uncertainty. Others cannot. Just who they are. Hmm.. so people aren't all like me? 5/x

      Two, I started asking aspiring Founders why they’re starting a co? Then I watched. Those who went nowhere were founders because of external reasons. It might be trendy, their friends did it or Dad would be proud. Founding a company was someone else’s idea *for* them! 6/x

      The ones who made progress were those who couldn’t imagine any other way to live. They’d look at me like I’d asked me the most insane question in the world. “You mean like not be an entrepreneur?! Are you crazy?” They couldn’t imagine living any other life. 7/x

      I learned is that the founder’s life isn’t for most. If founding is not how you’re wired but you feel you should, that's often just society and/or others imposing the idea on you that founding is the apex of achievement. That’s a bullshit narrative that we should stop. 8/x

      So, if you’re thinking about making the leap then think: Why are you *really* doing it? Is it really the life for you? Or is it someone else’s idea of the life you should be living? Whatever the answer is, it’s OK to be you and do what you’re put on the earth to do. /fin

      Super thought-provoking thread and a topic I've also thought a fair bit about (thought with much less experience than you). Let's see if I can reply to your thread with a thread of my own on the topic. I didn't prewrite this, so bear with me. 1/x

      First, I don't think very many people idolize Bezos or Gates (or Zuckerberg, the lizard man, haha). It's only guys like you and me who are possibly hard-wired (or have convinced ourselves we are) for entrepreneurship. Buffett is different, but he's less entrepreneurial 2/x

      A lot more people want to be Kim Kardashian, Lebron James, or Katrina Lake than want to be Jeff Bezos and it's not even close, imho (I have no data). So, white men? Meh, who cares? Let's move on. I say let the people who are trying to become entrepreneurs for the wrong reasons

          try and fail. They're young. They'll bounce back. And in this day in age, it might even help them land a job at Google. They're usually in their 20s and they're playing with someone else's money. THey're not 45 year olds with a house and a family betting the farm, usually. 4/x

          I have no idea how much traits are learned or inborn, but I do know that you only need 3 things to be successful as an entrepreneur: 1. Motor (THIS IS A MUST) 2. Brains (you need much less than you think) 3. Flexibility (Too many brains often => not enough flexibility)

          A fair point: I just looked for data on it. I couldn't find any.
