risk

People say, “don’t start a business!”

You might think, why would people be against me starting a business? Don’t they want me to realize my dream?” Keep in mind, most people are risk averse. They are afraid you might lose money or fail somehow and they don’t want to see you get hurt. They have heard that 95% of all new businesses fail within the first five years and wonder why would your new business would be any different.

Some people you know will be secretly jealous. You are working towards a dream and they are not. They will try to convince you not to do it so they don’t feel bad about themselves.

Big Giant Warning!

Sometimes, when people try to dissuade you from starting a business, they are doing it because your idea truly stinks and will never fly. Don’t be so blinded with love for your new venture that you are unable to recognize when others are right. This is very hard to do!

You make the call. Are you ready to start a business?
