Boss It Podcast
Hi All! All my name is Sophia! The aim of the podcast is to provide tangible advice for women entrepreneurs in areas of business, health and self-help. Each episode will have a few action items that the listener can apply if the episode resonated with them - hence the tag line "Make a plan, take action" . I'll give you my background in a nutshell: I am a registered physiotherapist in Canada but moved into leadership at a local hospital. Then went part-time as a manager at a publicly funded medical clinic, so I could grow my product based startup. This brand new biz landed into Walmart Canada last spring. A lot of ladies have been asking for help with their startup because they saw such fast growth of my product based company (the company name is Also Sophia) and so I thought a podcast would be a great way to reach a larger audience. Hope you enjoy!xoxo Sophia

Episode 113
Would you describe yourself as a wantrepreneur? Or do you know someone who is a wantrepreneur?
The term "wantrepreneur" refers to someone who desires to create their own business but hasn't been able to get started. Wantrepreneurs have fresh and creative ideas but lack the courage to take action and risks. In this episode, we discuss the barriers that might hinder you in your transition from a wantrepreneur to an entrepreneur and the strategies that can help you avoid them.
Let me share with you why you might be stuck in the wantrepreneur stage:
- You find yourself fearful to either start your business or scale it to the next phase or the next big step. The best way to start conquering your fear is to write down the things that you're fearful of if you were to start your business or if you are deciding to take your business to the next level.
- You fear being judged by others. It’s important to understand that the reason they have something to say about you is that they're projecting their own insecurities about starting a business on you or they don’t have the ability to help you with this path in life that you've decided to take.
- You don’t know where to start. Do the right thing by seeking out podcasts and YouTube videos, mentors, and other resources to help you expedite your trajectory toward your goal.
- You lack capital or funding. Start your business with your own money first. Don't borrow money from others to experiment because you should be confident enough to use your own money to start.
