What do you see as current trends, issues, or challenges in entrepreneurship? originally appeared on Quora – the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.

Answer by Gary Vaynerchuk, Entrepreneur, Investor, and Best-Selling Author, on Quora:

A huge issue with the current entrepreneurial landscape is that people don’t realize you can’t just wake up and decide to be an entrepreneur. There’s been a recent over-promise of what business success looks like. It’s causing people to lose out when they try to “go for it” and is blinding them to the opportunities that are actually right for them. This issue leads to a larger conversation we need to have about self-awareness and what defines success.
