People want to go into online business, but they are afraid!
Today I want to share with you the top 5 reasons as to why I think people are afraid to start their own business.
#1 Debt
The fear of going into debt is a major reason as to why people are afraid of entrepreneurship. If you have a lot of student loans or credit card bills, it may be difficult to start an online business because most online businesses require an initial investment. What I would recommend you do is focus on repaying all of the debts you have currently before joining an online business. It is better to start a brand when every other obligation is met, in my opinion.
#2 Family Obligations
The early years of building a start-up can be very time consuming. Some people fear that they will have to sacrifice too much time away from their families in order to get their business going. What I would recommend you do is have a conversation with your loved ones and ask them if they will be fine with you dedicating time away from them in order to build your own brand.
#3 No Benefits
Some people fear the thought of losing their benefits, such as health insurance provided by their employer. They might have a family member with a health condition who is dependent on the insurance. I would advise you to talk to the current health insurance provider that you and your loved ones have in order to see how much it will cost to keep the insurance if you were to leave your job.
#4 Undecided
Other people are undecided as to the type of online business to join. They fear that if they join, it might be a huge mistake. What I recommend you do is take the time to figure out your strengths, weaknesses, and passion. Write down what you would like to sell as an entrepreneur and find opportunities that will highlight your strengths as an entrepreneur.
#5 Economy
Most people are afraid of starting their own brand because they feel that the economy is in a bad place. This belief is reinforced by politicians and journalists, in my opinion. In my opinion, the economy is always at a great state. The reason why I say this is because there is always a group of people who are in demand for something. Smart business people have the ability to find demand and fill it with supply. In my opinion, any entrepreneur can succeed in any state of the economy if they simply educate themselves on successful marketing techniques.
