Question: “I am tired of working for greedy and arrogant bosses who make bad decisions and everyone below suffers. I am thinking about starting my own business, but I have to provide for my family. It’s scary, but I don’t know what else to do.” – Posted By Vince, Los Angeles, CA
Helpful Response: I say go for it!
The only thing worse than failing in life is not trying. I would rather see you fall flat on your face and learn something than to go from job to job being miserable.
At some point, you have to throw “safety” to the wind and do something that will give you a shot at a better future. Too many people spend their whole lives working at jobs that they hate and NEVER take a chance at fulfilling their dreams.
Most people that have started their own businesses later in life had families to take care of. You would be surprised to learn what your family could go without if they needed to. What if you and your wife both lost your jobs? You would have to make some major modifications to your lives but you would survive.
I think the best thing to do is to ask some SUCCESSFUL people who have started their own business how they did it and how they became successful. Again, I stress SUCCESSFUL. Do not ask people who are too scared to do anything or those who are bitter about their failures. They will discourage you and make you feel hopeless.
Take action, my friend! You can do it!
