Why NOW is a good time to set up in Business

Okay so the economy isn’t so good right now, but isn’t this just another excuse to put off starting what you have always dreamed of? 54% of women start a business so they can choose the hours they work, freeing up more time to spend with their families and carryout activities that have been long neglected. They’ve had enough of the commute and the drudgery of nine to five. They have the determination and tenacity to do something different.

So if it isn’t the credit crunch, what other blocks are you putting in your way? Starting a business means taking a risk, but if that is your excuse, let me remind you so is crossing the road.

Maybe you fear failure? How will you know unless you give it a go? Most entrepreneurs have made numerous mistakes along the route to success, in fact, it’s because we have made mistakes, we reflect and learn how to become more effective. I recently read that laminated glass, where a thin sheet of plastic is sandwiched between two sheets of glass was produced by accident. See mistakes have a real purpose to teach us something.

Goethe, said “Whatever you can do, or dream you can ……begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it”.

You have to decide to make the first step because the longer you wait for the perfect timing, whatever your excuse, opportunities will be passing you by. Once you make the decision you will be amazed by your inner genius, power and magic to make things happen.

What are you waiting for? Rome wasn’t built in a day, but someone had to set the ball rolling and lay the first building block.
