Thinking of starting a business?

Keep the following in mind:

Accept the demoralizing stage. Starting out in business with no reputation and little experience will lead to rejections. But accept this dim period, it’s this stage that separates the wannabes from the gonna-bes. So be prepared to be treated unfairly at the start until the unfairness is tired of bothering you.

Accept feeling lonely. When starting out in business you usually have more responsibility than your friends or family. But you must accept this so that you can use the all your time to achieve your goal.

Setbacks. No matter how many plans you write, how many qualifications you have on your C.V. making mistakes in business is set in stone. So don’t hold yourself back by being afraid to make mistakes, instead release yourself into the unknown and learn.

Working longer hours. When working for yourself it’s vital that you stay on top of things. With less capital than large corporations, you need to get a lot of work done by yourself. In order to do this you need to utilize your full 24 hours effectively.

Facing your fears. When starting a business getting results will usually call for you to step out of your comfort zone. But, in order to move to the next level, you will have to get used to facing your fears. This might feel nerve wracking but when you get rewarded for your hard efforts with cash I’m sure you’ll look back on those awkward situations with a smile.
