Starting a Business Doesn’t Have to Be Hard

Starting a business doesn’t have to be hard, unless you:

• Start with no money
• Don’t follow your heart
• Do something you know nothing about
• Don’t write a business plan
• Aren’t committed
• Don’t like change
• Don’t learn from your mistakes
• Like doing things the hard way
• And don’t want to listen to those who have gone before you

These are only a handful of business start-up issues; at least four of them applied to me along the way. That has made this a bumpy ride down the entrepreneurial road to success.

Starting a business isn’t something you should learn the hard way. Unfortunately, most of us still do. That’s why about 50% of small businesses fail within the first five years. Only a few people get it right the first time.

Do you have a business failure success story?
