ARE YOU READY FOR ENTREPRENEURSHIP?

Are you thinking about starting a new business?

Entrepreneurship can be an amazing adventure, and it can even give you more security than a regular day job but the truth is ...

Being your own boss may sound like heaven on earth, but what you have to remember is that it’s still a lot of HARD WORK! It’s easy to feel ready and it’s equally easy to let fear hold you back long after you should have jumped in.

Here are 4 signs that show you're ready to DIVE INTO ENTREPRENEURSHIP:

• You Have a Passion for What You Want To Do!

Passion is often overhyped. It’s not enough on its own, but it is essential. Make sure you have something you’re excited about starting, rather than just frustration with your current job.

• You are Overcoming Your Fear of Failure

Being afraid to fail can paralyze you in business. We all feel it to some extent, but if you can’t face it, you aren’t ready to start a new business.

• You Have a Product or Service in Mind

A great business exists where what you love meets what other people will pay for. Before you leave your day job to start a new company, be sure that your product or service has a market.

• You are Familiar with your Market

If you are familiar with the industry you’re going into, you will be better prepared to jump into entrepreneurship. If you are not familiar with your market, DO YOUR RESEARCH!
