So what is this From Wantrepreneur to Entrepreneur thing all about. It’s simple I want to be an entrepreneur, but I am nowhere near there yet so until then I am a Wantrepreneur aka a wannabe entrepreneur. I’m not fighting it, I say it proudly. In a world full of people pretending to be “entrepreneurs” or “serial entrepreneurs” I’ll be real enough to say I’m not either yet.

Going on almost two years since I’ve graduated college in May ’16 I’ve probably quit more jobs than most people do in a lifetime because I’ve thought I had cracked the entrepreneurial code. I’ve lost more money, ruined relationships, built new ones, found my purpose and so much more on this rollercoaster. When I look back on the journey so far, if I had to do it over I wouldn’t change a thing.

In a world full of Instagram filters and fake lifestyles I figured I can at least be real with mine. This medium blog is me walking you through my journey as I try to make the transition from a Wantrepreneur to an actual Entrepreneur. You’ll get the real stories of my journey and see real-time how I am building my dream company 9INE Point Media. An “Athlete Driven” platform where we give all athletes the ability to share their stories through realness and authenticity.

Not sure when I’ll be a legit entrepreneur in my eyes but until then all I know this journey has been hella fun.

Enjoy the Wantrepreneur journey with me.
