“I want to start my business”
"I want to start my own business". Now here’s a thought people could have for over 5 years without ever acting upon it, even if they’re in a job they don’t like.
Yet apathy and procrastination are symptoms of a more profound discomfort, which often reflects:
A lack of self-confidence: We usually believe we won’t be able to make it, or we set unrealistic goals that end up crushing our spirit because we want to be perfect from the get go. But being drafty in the beginning is in fact necessary, as it’s a precursor to a learning curve that will allow us to refine our skills or improve our offer
A need for control: We accumulate knowledge to be under the impression that we’re making progress without ever acting upon what we learn, we want to feel safe by waiting for our circumstances to match our expectations before we take action. But without a hands-on experience, you’ll never know enough to be sure that you are not currently missing out on great opportunities.
A fear of failure: What if it doesn't work? We quickly end up falling back on the old cushion we've always known by remaining at a job we don’t necessarily like. However, choosing to start your business isn’t an either / or kind of decision (either my job or my business). Instead, you could start right away with a "side hustle" without jeopardizing your current position.
An aversion to taking responsibility: We hide behind the excuse of “not having enough time” as we waste most of it in leisure activities (TV, social networks...) that could take up to 3 to 4 hours a day.
By setting goals without deadlines, you don’t know when you fail. And the more time goes by, the more you miss opportunities that could have been perfect for you. All the while making excuses that are rather questionable.
