Starting a Business is Lemonade Stand Simple

The task of starting a business should be anything but intimidating. Think about it for a moment. When you were 5 or 6 years old you hunted around the home for some old cardboard, a horizontal surface (usually a card table), some paint or a marker and of course your mom. Within less than an hour you had a lemonade stand up and running – your very own sole proprietorship. Sure, things have changed in scale for you but the fundamentals of getting your business up and running are more challenged by your adult psychology than by your local laws and regulations no matter how hard you try to prove to me otherwise. Our fears and experiences hold us back more so than any other factor in starting or growing our business. Starting your own business isn’t near as hard as most business planning tools make it out to be. You’ll just need to take some action toward what you’ve learned and that action is the one thing only you can provide.

Whether the idea of starting a business for yourself is still just that, an idea, or you are actually operational you will benefit from the experience of others that have forged this path before you. It isn’t that you start a business on your own but when you get the help of others with more experience you speed up your learning curve and minimize your obstacles. Even mom helped you with that lemonade stand. If I have one caveat to starting a business it would simply be to start small and grow as you learn the ropes and know that running a business is different than the service or product you provide.

No matter what the world says, you can make it happen. What we think (truly think) manifests itself in the physical world. As long as your thinking involves your action toward what you want, then you will see progress toward your life’s dreams in all you do.
