Did the train leave the station without you?
Recently I attended the Baltimore Business Journal’s 2011 Enterprising Women event. Four successful Baltimore area business women shared their stories about about how they got where they are, their struggles and what worked for them.
I was struck that two of the women said:
I should have started my business earlier.
They took the risk and overcame their fears and found success. Only wished they had done it sooner.
What’s holding you back from starting your business?
- Fear. Fear is good — if you use it to keep you from doing something stupid.
- It’s not the right time. There’s never a perfect time — just like there’s never a perfect time to have a baby.
- Money. A Gates Foundation study found that more wealth doesn’t necessarily make you happier. Enjoy the struggle!
- It’s too late. Ask this grandmother of 13 if she thought it was too late to start her motorcycle shop Roar Motorcycles!
Don’t let the train leave the station without you. What’s holding you back?
Please share — I’d love to hear from you.
