Rising above all the huddles of stagnation. This is how you can overcome all fear holding you down
Rise above all impediments.
Fear is an emotion that alerts us about dangers that might emerge in the future, when we started doing a new thing like starting a business.
Fear tells you that you are entering a new and unknown area. You don’t know what to expect. For some people, an unknown circumstance is fun, for they see life as adventure, but for others it is pure terror.
The best way you can get over fear while starting your business is by proper preparation.
Proper preparation:
There is no road too long to the man who advances deliberately without undue haste; there are no honors too distant to the man who prepares for them with patience—JEAN DE LA BRUYERE
To do the proper preparation, you need to:
1) Learn all the required skills.
It makes sense that you start to build your business based on the skills you know very well, and then advance to other skills. Skills are very important in business, because of the so many mental attachments therein. If you are wise in a field, you can make direction, and if you knowledgeable, you can have vision.
2) Consider the lifestyle changes you need to make.
Being an entrepreneur is not a job, it is a lifestyle. Your lifestyle as an entrepreneur is supposed to be unique and calculated. You don’t have to be too much out-going or watching too much television, jumping from bar to bar, Jumping up and down on the streets, Running in and out of the stadium and many more of the dangerous irrelevances. And you should know that there is no going back when you have started.
3) Look at the time it will take you to start making revenue:
Why some new entrepreneurs quit is because they don’t understand the length of time between their initial start and when they will start making money from their business. Business enterprise is always a tree and it need to grow maturity, before it will start bearing fruits, and the fruit will start to ripe little by little, until it reaches the bountiful time. The more your Business matures, the better the fruits it will give.
4) Consider the risk: you might have a job now, with a steady pay check.
And you are trying to start a new business which will eventually force you to quit or show less interest in your job. It can negatively affect your current job as you will start the business with all your available cash. The risks might include:
You can lose your job.
You cannot go back.
You need to study more.
You can run short of cash.
Your business can delay in yielding revenue.
You might be a family man, and may live with your immediate family as a youth and starting a new business in this status can be scary.
