Becoming - Administrator vs. Entrepreneur

As I listened to the talk from Elder Oaks about becoming converted, I thought of how I could apply that principle to my goal of being an entrepreneur.  I fully realize that I am currently in the testimony stage of being an entrepreneur.  I know that being an entrepreneur is a good thing and I can tell others that same truth, but I am not ready to be one yet myself.

So the question arises, how do I change from being an administrator to being an entrepreneur?

I have to change my overall thinking pattern to allow myself to look more for the opportunities and less at the protection of current resources.  In some ways I am more of an entrepreneur, because I am comfortable at making a decision and going forward with it instead of requiring approval in advance.  In other ways I am very much an administrator because I see what will be needed to succeed and want to ensure that I have all needed supplies before starting.

One step that I feel will help me in my road to being an entrepreneur is to get out of debt.  I watched another video from Taylor Richards about being debt free as he pursued his entrepreneurial dream.  I realized that getting out of debt will help me obtain a level of comfort that I require emotionally to be able to take the risk of being an entrepreneur.

Understanding what I am capable of and comfortable with will help me to make choices that don't keep me up all night because I am stressed out.

I am not comfortable with change in general.  I know that it happens and that I can't stop it.  I feel that once I get my other areas of life in order, I will have more confidence in dealing with rapid change and striking out as an entrepreneur.
