When you hear the term couch potato, often times you think of a lazy, slouchy individual who sits around on the couch watching television and eating potato chips. There may be some truth to that; however I tend to look at a couch potato as anyone who is sitting on the “couch” or “sidelines” of life and not reaching their potential.
I often talk with aspiring entrepreneurs and the biggest inhibitor of them reaching their entrepreneurial goals is not ability, it’s the fact that they are sitting on the couch and not willing to take a step. If you want to be a successful entrepreneur you must demonstrate initiative, be willing to step out and agree to take some risks.
By definition an en-tre-pre-neur: a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, especially a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.
Many people have a desire to become a flourishing entrepreneur; however only a small percentage are successful, because they are sitting on the couch. If you want to move from a Couch Potato to Entrepreneur your first step is to get off the couch.
