"I would love to start a business, but…"
- All too common comment
When is the BEST time to start a business? Is it when all the research is completed? How about when you know you have at least 100 orders lined up? Maybe when the economy is better?
How about TODAY!? Why not?
The fact of the matter is there is NO BEST TIME to start a business. The ideal timing, some may say, is when you are most highly MOTIVATED and willing to "bet on yourself."
I mean, you are a SUPERSTAR, right? You are excellent at your work. You know a vast many people. You listen well and work hard. What is there to lose? A little bit of money, time and maybe some of that all too precious EGO? Simple stuff to replace, regain or rebuild.
2 DEGREE SUCCESS STEP:
If you believe in YOURSELF as being one of the best in your line of work, why not start a business? You can start small. One client here, one product there. See where it takes you.
If you wait around for IDEAL conditions, you will find that the conditions were ALWAYS ideal… it was you that was not.
Sure, you may struggle with operations, sales, management, marketing, human resources, financing, etc… (Rarely all at the same time) NEVERTHELESS, every business owner does. You can hire EXPERTS, outsource your weaknesses, or collaborate with someone that compliments you. What you CANNOT do is MAKE EXCUSES!
If you want it – take it, otherwise, just go to work and save yourself the heartbreak of dreaming of something that you know you will never do.
Cheers,
Zach

"...but, I want to wait until my kids are older" -Jody Duncan. It even says this on my Linkin bio. Why? My father missed sooo much of my life building his business. In the US, we live longer now and social security will probably not be here for us 30 somethings, so why not start a business in your late 40's and run it for 20 years? You can still retire before 65. Just my take!
