Lot’s of folks dream about owning their own business. Few ever make it a reality. Why not?
I think the number one reason is fear of failure. But as long as you persevere, you really haven’t failed. If your first venture isn’t a great success then you have learned some valuable lessons that hopefully you won’t repeat as you work on phase two. As long as you don’t quit, you have not failed.
The second reason people don’t get started is that they are waiting for the perfect opportunity. The perfect idea for a business that will propel them to the ranks of the billionaire club. If they are not careful, they will wait their whole life.
You see, no billion dollar business in existence today was started out with the intention of being a billion dollar business. Every one of them was started by someone doing something interesting that created a small amount of value in a marketplace by solving a problem.
You can do the same right now. Think of one thing (no matter how small) that you can do to make a really tiny dent in the world and go do it. Find someone to write you a check for it. Congratulations…you just started a business.
(It really is that easy!)
