Deep dives

The Entrepreneur Life Cycle

The entrepreneur life cycle consists of six stages, with most people getting stuck in stage three, leading to a 'crash and burn' cycle. The initial stage, uninformed optimism, presents a rosy picture of entrepreneurship, but it quickly transitions to informed pessimism when the reality of the hard work sets in. This can trigger a crisis of meaning, where many entrepreneurs abandon their original venture for something new, repeating the cycle for years without progress. To break free from this rut, one must persist through challenges and gain a clearer understanding of the business landscape, eventually reaching informed optimism.
