Start small and dream big.
Starting big was my biggest mistake. If I started with a small business, I could've used the money on starting a new business when the first one failed. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret making that mistake. I learned a lot. The learning curve was steep, and I was pressured to learn as quickly as I could.
Take what I say with a grain of salt. Everyone is different. It all depends on your risk tolerance, your confidence, your skills and your commitment.
Some people have the extra money but aren't confident. Others have the skills but don't have the money. Others have the money and the confidence but don't have the skills. Some have all three but aren't committed. There are a couple more ways this can play out and I'm sure you can figure that out.
What I suggest is to look for a mentor and join a business support group. If you have someone in your immediate family who runs a business, work and learn from them. Read books, articles, and blogs about business and personal growth.
Business is tough, rough, and fun. It will challenge you and your views.
You'll laugh.
You'll cry.
You'll smile.
You'll be disappointed.
You'll be relieved.
Your business will be your best business school. You'll gain experience along the way. Starting will be one of the best decisions you will ever make.
