For every reason you have, to start a business, you will think of ten why you shouldn't and your friends and family will probably give you a hundred more. DO IT ANYWAY!
You will never know if you would have been successful if you never tried. And, you will spend the rest of your life wondering, WHAT IF?
So you fail, SO WHAT!
Start over, try again, get off the floor and quite crying about it. At least you had the guts to try while everybody else just sat there afraid to try themselves because they were scared they might fail. YOU be the EAGLE, let them be the chickens.
Now, having said that I realize that most folks feel they don't have the following resources available to start up a business.
Capital (Money, Cash, Dollars, Bucks, Rich relatives they can borrow from.)
Credit or Credit Cards
Knowledge of what it takes to run a business.
Education or Training in the Business they want to do. (If you don't have on the job training then you have to get it somewhere and then it will probably cost you money).
Physical Location. (Office, warehouse, store front)(All cost money too)
Inventory (depending on what type of business)(Inventory costs money too)
Employees (Who and how many)(You have to pay them, you know)
Time (Are you going to do it full time or part time?)(Can it be done part time?)
Murphy (The Murphy Factor; "Whatever can go wrong, will")
So what do most people do? NOTHING. They do nothing because the obstacles seem insurmountable. They look at all the costs and effort that would be involved in building their dream and they lose their dream, and their friends and family reinforce this by telling them they probably couldn't have done it anyway.
So what happens next? Well a lot of people start looking at online businesses they can run from home part time and what happens to them? They get scammed. They get sucked in by the promo pages of these companies that show you big houses, fancy cars, beach scenes from vacations, and handfuls of dollar bills, usually twenty or hundred dollar bills, and they tell you that you too could live this lifestyle if you just sign up now.
So they get interested and they pay their $37.00 or $47.00 fee, because, what the heck they are giving it away at half price today only, and they are saving money right off the bat.
So they sign up and they get the starter kit, or online e-book, or access to their exclusive executive training site and they are ready to start making money, today, immediately, within the next hour. All they have to do is follow
