Evergreen and Everlasting!
Starting a business is not for the faint of heart. We have ideas constantly, but often we let them fall by the wayside because we become overwhelmed by the lack of time to achieve them. And let’s face it, time is a rare commodity these days.
There is also the intimidation factor. We constantly question ourselves and use these questions as roadblocks to reach our end goal.
And finally, there is always a risk present. What if we fail?
Heck, we even do this when thinking about leaving our current positions for better ones.
None of the above will ever change.
Yet, there are those instances that push us off that ledge. Those words of encouragement, words of adversity, or feelings we have within ourselves that start bubbling over help us take the leap. This is when the risk of not doing becomes greater than the actual doing.
My advice… ASK FOR HELP!
None of us know everything! There are so many different sectors when it comes to business, so go to the experts in the areas that you may be lacking. Make sure those are people you can trust. Let them guide you; let them educate you.
Luckily, in the Mahoning Valley we have the Youngstown Business Incubator. Their sole purpose is to elevate you and your business to the next level. There is also a library of books, videos, and tutorials at your fingertips.
It will never be easy to start, or to grow your own business. It will never be without reservation that we take on a new job.
Surround yourself with inspiration, expertise, and cheerleaders. This is where your spirit will thrive, and your heart will become stronger.
