The idea of starting a business is extremely intimidating to many. The top three reasons people avoid entrepreneurship:
1. I don't have the money.
2. I don't have the time.
3. I don't know anyone.
Let's break it down....
1. Who ever really has money? I bet we all find the money for that coffee fix, right? Or that afternoon stop at a WaWa for a sandwich or snack? What is that coffee or sandwich worth to you? It is going to go down to that bottomless pit in our stomach.... There's no lasting reward just instant gratification that the caffeine push you just ingested will give you a quick lift to get you through the next 8 hours. What happens at the end of the 8 hours? Not much except the thought of starting the next day with that caffeine push all over again.
2. Time, hmmmm.. Time.... Everyone has time somewhere... If you have 10 - 15 minutes to jump on Facebook and post you just found yourself time... If you have an hour to watch a television show, you just found time! Stuck in traffic on the commutes to and from work? You just found time!! Time exists in the places we don't look.
3. I don't know anyone? We all know someone.... right? If you didn't know anyone why are you posting on Facebook or going to a job or going out for a drink.... The only "one" I don't think people know are themselves. You don't have to ask the people you know to join in your venture but you can ask the people you know for referrals or introductions! By not asking those you know, you will create a need to know.
Within all of us exists a superhero. What needs to exist is the power to unleash the superhero within us! Take those top three excuses and break them down. What will you find? You will find they are simply excuses on why you can't. Turn the can't into I can. I can find the money to start a business I would love to do, I can find the time by organizing my days and I can contact the people I know!
