Dare to Start Your Business
Are you hesitant whether you are the right person for running a business or not?
Do you feel trapped in your full-time job?
Are you excited by your ideas and want to transfer them to a profitable business?
Don’t you know whether you have what it takes to start a business or not?
Have you ever wondered how exciting running your own business?
A lot of people live their lives trapped in their jobs and don’t dare to set themselves free and start their own business, they always tell themselves that their jobs are a transition period and what always happened is that the transition period becomes a permanent situation because they aren’t courageous enough to leave a secured position with a stable salary to start a business that might or might not succeed.
Another aspect that always demotivates the people who like to start a business is the social pressure of their family, friends and sometimes from the toxic people who pretend that they care while in fact, they don’t want them to succeed.
Sometimes the fear of failure plays a great role against the person’s desire to start a private business, besides the uncertainty and self-doubt people might experience when they consider the idea of starting their own business.
Being afraid of the downsides of having a private business like being risky, being full responsibility, working 24/7 sometimes makes people hesitate to make the first move toward starting a private business.
It may seem to lots of people that the business owners are lucky, they don’t have a boss, can work whenever they want, they have full control over your their business, and they earn loads of money, and to decide whether the private business is good for you or not, you need to know both the downsides of the private business as well as their upsides.
Before you start a business you need to ask yourself some questions:
Are you willing to work 7 days a week?
Are you willing to make tough decisions?
Are you ready to play different roles?
Are you ready to live without a steady income?
Are you ready to take risks?
If you find all the above exciting for you, dare to start your own business!
To start a business, you need to:
- Believe in yourself:
Have faith in yourself, your skills and talents that enable you to manage a business. If you don’t believe in yourself and your product/service, how do you expect others to trust you?
Have confidence in your skills, talents, and abilities and take yourself seriously.
- Stop listening to your limiting beliefs:
Replace the limiting beliefs and negative thought with positive supportive affirmations. You have to get rid of all limiting beliefs that label you negatively, like: You are a loser or You are not good enough, and replace them with empowering beliefs such as You are good enough, You can do it, and You have what it needs.
- Get over your fear of failure and replace it with a strong desire to succeed:
Instead of draining your energy fearing of failure, have a strong will to succeed and have faith that there is nothing called failure; we either succeed or learn.
- Surround yourself with positive people:
Being among positive people uplift you, motivate you and always remind you about your uniqueness, challenge you to be better and inspire you to go forward while staying away from the negative and critiquing people who drain your energy and cause you to feel stressed and overwhelmed.
- Be ready for the obstacles, the road is not paved:
Any business has it’s ups and downs and it’s full of obstacles, you have to be prepared mentally and emotionally for any obstacles, or difficulties that may get in your way
- Don’t wait to be ready, start and you will learn along the way:
If you keep procrastinating, having the excuse that you are not ready yet, you won’t start a business, and you won’t be perfect unless you start.
