Since I was 14, I have wanted to own my own business. I didn’t want to be rich just wanted to be a business owner. I had my first taste of being a leader and I fell in love, I loved being in charge and solving problems. I had no idea what type of business I wanted to build, so I dipped my hand into many things, but never found what I was looking for. I told my friend and family about the things I wanted to do and they would give there input. I would try to incorporate their advice into my plans, but it never worked out. It was not until I had no one to share my ideas with did I not only found a business I liked enough to start, but put in the hard work to get it off the ground.
It only took me 18 years to figure out why I would never finish what I started. I was trying to build what I thought, other people thought was my idea ( if that made sense). When I started my first website I only had my ideas, no one to bounce it off, no advice from family or friends, and I purposely did not follow other that had similar business because I hate to follow. I just made a plan and went to work on it.
MY POINT
Studies have proven that people who share there ideas are less likely to do the work to make it a reality. You can bounce your ideas off a million people and will end up with a million reasons to delay. Your idea does not have to be a good (there is always time to shape it) for it to be successful, but you have to actually do the work to make it successful. Look at all the bad Ideas you see around you making millions of dollars everyday. Don’t even look at the competition, so what they are doing it and have been doing it for 30 generations. They cannot do it the way you will and people love variety, they love to have choices. You don’t need the entire PIE just a slice.
If you have an idea that you think will work, most likely it will. It’s like the saying goes ” where there’s a will there’s a way.” Don’t over-think the idea either, learn what you need to get an understanding of your market and make your plans. Once you start you will find more information, people, and businesses that will help you. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes it is a natural part of learning.
