5 Risks Of Starting A Business -Avoid Them Like The Plague

Have you ever wondered why some people effortlessly glide through business straight to the top without a scratch while others take small business advice from "Daffy Duck" only to end up on the side of the road with a head wrap and broken limps and shattered dreams?

Why is it that the not so smart academic students ends up employing the straight A students. Could it be the C students are not afraid of taking the risk of starting a business. While the A student think they already know it all and feel secure with their perceived good Jobs?

Could it be the C students are not too proud to hire help while the A student is still reading a thesis on the interplanetary and interstellar space and what does that have to do with self employment.

Are you wasting your time on everything except conquering your dreams of being your own boss?

Are you afraid you won’t be cheered on by your family or friends?

Are you so afraid of failing you won’t risk winning?

In the back of your mind are you concerned about what your business colleagues would think if you started to replace your golf time with studying about how to start a business.

Here are 5 Risk Factors to keep in the forefront of your mind. Read these five danger areas. Side step these and enjoy calling Your Own Shots...

1. Waiting for the approval of others. When you make that decision to be your own boss, remember, there will NOT be... Let me REPEAT...there will NOT be a parade of raving fans waiting to slap you on the butt... saying...that’ a boy... nope..nada...

2. Never tell negative un-motivated people about your dreams, especially while in the planning phase. Your business start-up is the most delicate step. However; if you have to tell somebody, tell one person but be sure that person is a big dreamer.

3. Do not listen to the naysayers. If you think about it why would anybody that doesn’t look-up for 5 minute from the TV want you to go on and start a home business? Not going to happen... avoid naysayers like the plague.

4. Fear: fear is a biggie... fear has paralyzed many men and women. Fear is a small four letter word that can bring big 350 lb line backers to their knees; it has broken the backs and spirits of the mightiest. The fear from the risks of starting a business can talk you out of a million dollar business proposal. Fear can dominate every action, reaction and thought you thought about thinking; fear is bad-er than Shaft...

5. Lack of courage: when I first heard this I really did not understand what was being said. Suzy Ormond was the first person that gave a clear explanation of the lack of courage.

But as I thought of it the statement sounds correct- the lack of courage stops many people dead in their tracks. Suzy’s quote” it takes courage to be rich” Think about that for a minute.

Whatever rich means to you. But here's what it means to most people ...change'.

Most people associate change with pain... obviously.... Who would not want to change if it led to self employment, being your own boss, and unlimited income?

• Get started today. Becoming self-employed could be the answer to corporate road kill; which dwarfs the risks of starting a business.
