Why Wait to Start Your Business?
For most first-time entrepreneurs, there is a considerable lag of time between thinking
about starting a business and actually taking the first steps toward turning a business
idea into reality. This time is usually spent rationalizing inaction -- that is,
thinking about all the reasons that now is not the ideal time for a startup. For
the most part, these justifications fall into one or more categories:
While these are all valid concerns, none are factors beyond your own control. As
one management expert once said, an entrepreneur "…doesn’t see risks; he sees only
factors he can control to his advantage." Each and every excuse you can think of
to resist taking the plunge into entrepreneurship is just that -- an excuse. If you
are serious about working for yourself and building your idea into a successful company,
there is a way to start on that road immediately. Working obstacles into opportunities
is a basic skill of successful entrepreneurs, and now is a good time to start honing
those habits.
