How many of these people would like to start their own business?
How many people have a home business idea or an idea they’d like to turn into a small business?
How many will actually start their own business today?
The UK (at the time of writing) has unemployment of around 2.46 million and the US about 15.7m.
I’ve no idea how many people don’t like their jobs, probably most of them.
Out of all these people, a great proportion would, I’m sure, like to have their own business and a great many of them will have ideas of what they’d like to do.
So, how many will actually start their own business today?
Or tomorrow?
Comparatively, very, very few.
What stops them?
Some will say that the time isn’t right, some will say they can’t afford it, some will say that they must keep working at their current job to keep the money rolling in, and of course some will say they just don’t know how.
These aren’t reasons, these are excuses. Why?
Because starting your own business need not cost a penny, does not require you to stop your current employment, and virtually anyone has the knowledge or ability (or can easily get it) to start.
So, what really is the hardest thing about starting your own business?
The answer lies in the question.
Starting.
Starting can be as simple as deciding to do something, it could be as simple as telling someone what you are going to do. In short, starting means taking action. Because once you take action, you begin to move. It’s like freeing a sledge that is stuck in the ice: once you are moving, keeping going is easy.
So to start your own business, follow these simple steps.
Decide
Plan
Act
Review
Repeat 2-5.
When do you start?
