As I sit here on the verge of creating something truly great (and not just for money – to to build something that will truly last), it occurs to me that the reason most people don’t start their own business is pure fear. Afraid of the risk, afraid of failing, afraid of the lack of stability. What they don’t think about is the downside of not venturing out – assuming you have the idea and the means to make it happen of course. What about:<\/p>\n
– Working somewhere forever for a company you don’t believe in
\n – Working for a company that sells a product that doesn’t really benefit anyone
\n – Working for a company that knowingly steals from people
\n – Working for a boss who has no original ideas of their own – and doesn’t reward anyone else for theirs
\n – Working for a rampaging idiot of a boss, who yells to make people feel small – and make himself feel more like a man
\n – Spending your whole life doing something for which you have no passion whatsoever<\/p>\n
All of those sound MUCH worse than any risks I can think of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
