After the initial start-up phase of the company, many entrepreneurs often have their first doubts. That is why this week we are talking about the big question that all entrepreneurs ask themselves: Am I an entrepreneur?
It is important to be aware of the fact that entrepreneurship comes in all shapes and sizes. The majority of entrepreneurs in the Netherlands are self-employed. At the moment, this is around 900.000 people. Entrepreneurship is in your heart. It does not matter whether you are a full-time or part-time entrepreneur. But the doubt whether or not you are an entrepreneur will always remain. Jacqueline Zuidweg has been an entrepreneur for 22 years, and she still doubts regularly. How did that happen? The answer is: doubting is not only normal, but also healthy! Doubts are an important driver for your development as an entrepreneur. Motivate healthy doubts to work accurately and avoid becoming overconfident. So you don't have to see doubts as something negative to get rid of. Most importantly, you learn to trust yourself over time.
