Practice Entrepreneurship

​Musicians practice.  When we can’t play something, we go into a (small) room, and play something in various ways until we can play it to standard.  As entrepreneurs, our practicing becomes attempts. We work at building enough of the right relationships until we can achieve our goal (a performance, a tour).  Making a mistake in the practice room usually isn’t a big deal. Unfortunately, mistakes in entrepreneurship cost money, time, and reputation. But we will still make mistakes.  And being self-conscious about it won’t help. Plan and do. Build and repair. Mistakes are part of the process, so don’t let them stop you from sending that email, going to that party where you’ll meet people you’ll click with, or accomplishing what you know you want to do.  When do make a mistake, reflect and work to prevent it in the future.
