What stops you from starting your own business?

If you are not passionate about your business, you will never achieve the same as top entrepreneurs.

I have seen too many mediocre businesses just plodding along and then eventually closing. The business is either sold for less than its potential value or closes down due to poor management, which leads to bad staff attitudes, which leads to dissatisfied customers, which leads to lack of orders, which results in an empty bank account.

People with passion will make a business work against all odds. There are also those dreamers that have an idea and don't know how to implement it, but a true entrepreneur will always find a solution.

An entrepreneur is someone who jumps off a cliff and builds a plane on the way down.

Hahaha, sounds about right. I've got a big old parachute called a J.O.B. though. The idea being that once the plane is flying I can lose the parachute.

No arguments with that.

Ask yourself - if one of your staff opened up a business similar to yours or not even similar - How would you feel and what would you question for example ?

Good for him! Hopefully I have thought him well enough to carry through with it.
