27: Reluctant Entrepreneur 3: Your First Move
You've worked through your resistance. You know what kind of entrepreneur you are. Now what?
Most people stall here because they're waiting for the complete roadmap. But you don't need the whole plan, just one next move.
And that move isn't what you think. Your first move isn't execution. It's learning.
In this episode, I walk you through specific first actions based on the path you're considering: consulting/fractional work, buying a business or franchise, or starting your own company.
These aren't overwhelming task lists. They're bite-sized learning moves that take 3-5 hours this week and don't require money or quitting your job.
What you'll learn:
- Why experiential learning matters more than research
- The one conversation you need to have before taking any other step
- Specific first moves for consultants, franchise buyers, business buyers, and startup founders
- What NOT to do this week (seriously, don't design a logo)
- How reluctant entrepreneurs actually become real entrepreneurs
This is Part 3 of my Reluctant Entrepreneur series. If you missed Parts 1 and 2, go back to Episodes 25 (Unlock Resistance) and 26 (Find Your Archetype).
You're not committing to a 10-year plan. You're committing to one week of learning.
