“I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.”

Simplified Meaning:

Sometimes, to achieve a goal, we have to take on roles or challenges we didn't expect. Imagine you love cooking and dream of running a restaurant. At first, you just want to be the chef and cook delicious meals. However, to keep your restaurant successful, you realize you also need to handle business tasks like hiring staff, managing money, and marketing. Similarly, the person in the quote wanted to focus on writing and editing for a magazine but found out they needed to become skilled in business and entrepreneurship to sustain it. The lesson here is that achieving your dreams sometimes means stepping out of your comfort zone and learning new skills that might not initially interest you. Understanding this can help you stay open-minded and adaptable when pursuing your ambitions.
