You were not born to be an owner/entrepreneur. I don’t think anyone is held to do anything concrete. But, then, all you have to do is choose what you will do according to your experience, skills, or passion.
Develop thinking and learn new things. This insight is critical.

When you think that you have a set mindset, you believe that there is nothing new to learn and that your potential is limited.
Start developing your thinking for growth by learning a new language, taking creative classes, trying fresh foods, talking to artists or programmers about new perspectives, traveling to a country you’ve never been to. Be more curious.
Be positive and believe in yourself. I’m not sure if I’ve ever met a small business owner or entrepreneur who wasn’t confident. Trust is not arrogant or arrogant. You believe in yourself, surround yourself with positive people who believe in you, and always focus on positive outcomes even when things go wrong.
Have your goal. Some people twist in life, and when things don’t go well, they blame everyone and everything. If being an entrepreneur or small business owner was easy, everyone would do it. There will be trial days. There will be happy days.
