First Step Entrepreneur

First Step Entrepreneur

This is just the audio from my YouTube videos. I'm Art, I've been starting businesses for 25 years. Some worked, most didn't. Right now I'm building something called First Step Entrepreneur while making videos about it. I don't have intro music or fancy editing. It's literally just the audio from YouTube because some people asked if they could listen instead of watch. I talk about why smart people get stuck, share stories from businesses I've built and screwed up, and work through whatever I'm struggling with in real-time. Sometimes it's useful, sometimes it's just me figuring things out. Each episode links back to the original YouTube video if you want to see it instead. No step-by-step systems, no guru stuff. Just someone who's still in it, still making mistakes, still trying to figure it out. firststepentrepreneur.com

A lot of capable people get stuck overthinking instead of just starting. I used to think it was about having the perfect plan, but after 25 years of building businesses, I've learned it's actually about getting out of your own way.
