Why Others Can't Start a Business

How many times have you heard someone say I want to work for myself
or I want to be self-employed and be free from working for others?
If you are like me and own your own business you hear that a lot.
Now let us be honest. How many times do you get sick of those same
people telling you that and don't do anything about it.
Personally I get tired of hearing it. So why don't others do the
steps to start their own business? There are a variety of reasons
but to me the reason boils down to one reason and that reason is
fear.

So what are they afraid of? Many times it is the fear of change and
failure. Sure, no one wants to fail but that is a chance that all
new business owners face. The fear of failure is a very powerful
emotion. All new business owners not only have to face the chance of
a business not being successful they have to face the fact that many
of their family and friends and watching to see if the business will
be a success. The sad thing is most of the people we hope will
support us in our new venture are sometimes the ones that help
destroy the dream of owning your own business. So what do you do to
eliminate the fear of failure in a new business? You basically seek
out others who have started their business to gain insight into how
they did it.

Most business owners started some where and most likely they
observed other successful business owners to figure out how they
started. Like the old say goes "don't reinvent the
wheel". The key is for new business owners to do their homework.
Yes I said homework. There is work involved in starting, maintaining
and continuing a successful business. Think about it. If it were
easy everyone would be doing it.

Having your own business can be one of the most rewarding aspects of
your life. You get the freedom to your own boss. But with that you
are responsible for the failure and success of the business. There
in no one to blame but yourself.

So the next time some one tells you they want to start their own
business. Do what I do. Tell them that talking the talk gets you no
where. So have to walk the walk and your success is all up to you.
