“If I have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it.” – Mahatma Gandhi
Starting any business even something as simple as writing a blog can be a pretty scary thing.
There are a lot of things do and plenty of other things to learn, and on top of that, theres no guarantee youll be successful. In fact, the odds are actually stacked against your success.
Sounds like a pretty risky proposition, and is probably the reason why many people to through their life without ever entertaining the idea of branching out and doing something on their own, even if they stumble upon a great idea or opportunity.
While you might be a little intimidated of the idea of starting a business, dont let that fear hold you back and keep you from pursuing your dream of owning your own business and going after financial independence.
After having been in business for three years now, I think the biggest factor in my success and considering 50% of businesses fail within the first five years, making it past the three year mark should be considered a success is the fact that I have always believed in my abilities as a business owner, web site developer, and writer.
Especially when I first started out and had no idea what I was really doing, this belief in my abilities was enough to sustain me while I acquired the skills necessary to ensure I was running a sound, profitable, and growing business.
If youve come up with an idea for a business, whether its a new website or a revolutionary product, run with it! Trust in yourself and your abilities; youll figure out everything you need to know. If you run into barriers, ask for help from people who have already solved similar problems.
Believe that you can do it, and, eventually, you will.
