Jessica Mah is an up and coming young entrepreneur that has only recently made the Inc Magazine's list for college entrepreneurs to watch. We met on Twitter after I received a Tweet on her inspiring and humorous blog entry about Why 99% of the Entrepreneurs Fail. (www.Jessicahmah.com/blog) Given that I talk to an average of 5-10 inspired entrepreneurs each day that are seeking capital to get their business off the ground or to the next level and take time to understand their potential so we can actually help them, I encounter entrepreneurs that fall into the three categories she referenced:
Type 1 Amateur Entrepreneur: All ideas, no implementation. Type 2 Amateur Entrepreneur: Lots of ideas and half assed implementations. Type 3 Amateur Entrepreneur: Lots of ideas, lots of implementations, and absolutely no focus. I’d venture to say there, not that 99% of the business fail, it is that 99% of them fail if they don't learn how to not be an amateur entrepreneur. I added a 4th type:
Type 4 Amateur Entrepreneur: Lots of Ideas and Doesn’t know what he Doesn’t know. I posted it as a question on Linkedin and got great feedback and other examples. They are all posted on my blog www.entrepreneurblogspace.com and we will have a show on this topic on Friday Feb 20th NOON Est on BlogTalkRadio www.blogtalkradio.com/karen-rands. Karen has been hosting her show SPEC Talk Radio for over a year now as a way to bring together investors and entrepreneurs to learn more about creating wealth through investment in early stage companies and building successful, thriving companies. She invites guests that have some keen insight and her special guest for this show, Jessica Mah, will surely be a highlight and interesting to listen to as she shares her experience as a successful entrepreneur since her first business at 13 to her current role as a leader and influencer among young entrepreneurs. Tune In on Friday at Noon or listen to the replay an post your comments. AUTHOR NOTE: Karen Rands is the president of LAUNCH Funding Network, (LAUNCHfn).
