| Are You Ready To Strike Out On Your Own?
Do you love a challenge?
Do you feel that you must, because the idea of not trying is
infinitely worse than the idea of trying and failing?
Can you afford the risk? Do you have either a good backup plan,
or is your present situation such that you don't have real
responsibilities (family, children, mortgage) to take care of?
If you do have these kinds of responsibilities does your plan
allow you to continue in your present occupation until the new
venture takes off?
Are you willing to fall down (fail) and get right back up again,
brush yourself off and move on, perhaps several times before
ultimately reaching your goals?
Are you willing to spend many long hours - for six months or
more - doing potentially thankless work with great enthusiasm
for the potential it represents?
Are you flexible enough to change major parts of your perfectly
laid out game plan on the fly if you need to?
Are you a self starter -- independent thinker -- able to
continue to work vigorously regardless of what your critics may
think of your plans?
Ask yourself these six questions and give absolutely honest
answers.
If your answer is no to any one of them, now is probably not be
the time to get started with your own business.
While it takes quite a bit more than this to succeed with a new
enterprise, these six things will make or break you from the
beginning. Starting out is not nearly as easy as some would have
you believe, but the rewards are greater than the efforts
required to achieve them.
On the other hand, if you can answer an absolute yes to all six
questions - what are you waiting for?
