5 Steps to Entrepreneurship

This site is really about “Where do I start?” Most of us probably have had moments in our job where we wanted to start our own business. We might have a great idea. We might be frustrated at work. We might feel like we can do better if we only had a chance. But the steady paycheck and security are hard to leave. So how do you have the best of both worlds? That’s what corporatepreneurship is all about!

We’ve identified five steps to “having your cake and eating it too” entrepreneurship:

1. The burning desire
2. Baby steps
3. Corporatepreneur
4. Entrepreneur
5. Financial freedom

Most people consider entrepreneurship to be risky. The classical way of thinking about entrepreneurship was this:

1. The burning desire
2. Baby steps
3. Corporatepreneur
2. Entrepreneur
3. Financial freedom

So you get an idea, quit our job, and sink a ton of money into it and chase your dreams. Holy cow that is risky! By adding the “baby steps” and “corporatepreneur” steps, you reduce your risk a ton. And you can increase your motivation to actually get things started!

Keep checking back on this site… better yet, subscribe to our RSS feed! Our hopes are to show people in the corporate world how you can do your own thing. And if you’re not in the corporate world, you can learn a thing or two also… mainly in the “baby steps” category. We’ll face head on things like “I don’t have time” “I don’t know where to begin” “It’ll require way too many resources” “I don’t have enough money” and other stuff like fear, procrastination, motivation, and inspiration. Of course they’ll be “useful” stuff like how to outsource stuff you don’t feel like doing for $4/hr, how stupidly easy it is to get paid by Amazon or Ebay, and why you should take the idea of a business plan and shove it.
