Effectual thinking...

So I'm taking a course that's supposed to help me think like an entrepreneur...but I can't help but wonder if the fact that we are taking this course does not disqualify us from the entrepreneurial path already. I mean, I don't know of any entrepreneur that will advice a a young mentee to go take a class. If one ever gives such an advice, then he/she does not trust your capability to start a business and wants to waste your time. When we talk about entrepreneurs in class, we talk about people who are "effectual" thinkers, that is to say to be an entrepreneur is synonymous to being an effectual thinker.

ef·fec·tu·al [ i fékchoo əl ]

adjective

Definition:

potentially effective: potentially successful in producing a desired or intended result


...but the very substance of effectual thinking "you have it in you to simply always produce the desired result without the facts and figures others require" suggests that you cannot achieve such a personality in class. So...the point of this class is?
Luckily though, I am a born entrepreneur. I inherited it from my papa, God bless you Asegun, and so I type in my blog, or check my balances, shop on ebay, etcetera etcetera, while class is going.

But yeah! So here's what I have noticed, there are two sets of people in this class who will never be entrepreneurs. The first are those who pay the most attention. They are looking for the secret to becoming an entrepreneur, they are always hoping the next class will reveal what they need to do to be that wonder entre, it won't happen. They will always feel empowered but they will always keep waiting for the best time, that thing, that partner, that product, that market, that capital...they will never be convinced enough. The other is the excessively eager. They are pumped up by every story of every entrepreneur, they can't wait to get out there and start a business. They will probably start several different businesses in the next decade, but most of them will not break-even.

Oh well, so class is almost over. I'll be bakk!!! (Arnold's voice)
