In many ways, entrepreneurship is uncharted territory — and not everyone finds their way.
So when following your passion, some experts say it's more important to know what notto do than to try to recreate another person's path.
Author and entrepreneur Stephanie Synclair ditched a decade-long corporate career in marketing to help other entrepreneurs make something of themselves.
Along the way, Synclair, who runs her own marketing and business consulting firm, learned what separates successful people from the equally bright people who never turn their ideas into reality.
In her tell-all book for entrepreneurs, "Shut Up and Do the Work", Synclair outlines the five types of people who probably won't succeed:
"The Dreamer speaks to the part of us that desires more and knows we can have more," Synclair writes. "The Dreamer has the ability to build a large following with people hanging on to every word. But that is where it stops."
Unless you actually take action and execute on your goals, you'll never be able to follow through on your dreams.
"The Lurker sits back and watches what others do," says Synclair. "They never comment, never participate and certainly never take action."
You'll never be completely ready. If you're waiting for the right time, you may miss your chance. Instead, make a move. Small steps add up.
"A good person at heart, they've simply been bit by the envy bug," she says. "Deep down, this one feels anger toward the success of others."
