Is it Hard to Start a Business?
Businesses are a lot like Babies. When Babies are born they do not know how to walk. In fact they do not even know they need to know how to walk. What they do know how to do though is move. The can kick, stretch their arms and flop their heads!
Your Business Doesn’t Grow a Lot in the Beginning
But Your Business is Moving and That is Great. Like when a Baby grows, they begin to see and learn that there is more to life than just laying around. There is bigger potential and everyone else around seems to be doing this thing that causes them to get somewhere! That is when they start rolling. The roll comes before the scoot and the scoot comes before the crawl and the crawl comes before the steps that then turn to walking and before you know it they are running. Some babies go through the steps quickly and some go through them slower.
A New Business requires some Learning, and You can Teach It!
Not a single baby just decided they wanted to and then already knew how to. None of them jumped up and started running because they wanted to. They all had steps of learning and stages to go through first. Regardless of the speed of progression through the stages they all hit the stages of learning first. Once they learned that stage they realized there was even more opportunity ahead.
Building a business is no different.
In the beginning you do not even know what you don’t know yet! As you start making movements and growing your business you begin to see a new step that you had not seen before. This is the key to business…. Movement! Don’t get stuck at the beginning and just sit stationary! Don’t get stuck just as a brick and mortar, take the next step and get your business online.
Make your business discoverable.
Don’t settle for subpar, mediocre, in the rolling stage. The world needs what you have to offer, they just can not find you! No matter what stage you are at… just keep making movements! “ it is not how you start, it is how you finish and are just not there yet”
