When you speak with people interested in starting their own businesses there is common thread ...
"I don't know how to start a business because I have never done it before. I need to learn what to do first."
It seems to make sense when you think about it ... but it is wrong.
You can't learn how to start a business by reading a book ... or taking a course. You can only learn how to start a business by DOING IT.
There is no checklist to follow ... guaranteed path to success by taking these 12 steps that I can tell you in advance.
Successful entrepreneurs are like improvisational performers. They take what they have to work with and create something out of it on the fly. They don't follow a set of blueprints to the letter. They may start with an idea of the steps they are going to take, but they know that after they take a couple of steps, things will change. The future steps cannot be predicted
at the beginning.
Sound like a crazy life? Sometimes it is! But it can also be a lot of fun and very rewarding.
You aren't supposed to know how to start a business in advance. You are supposed to figure it out as you go.
As Reid Hoffman, founder of Linked In says, "An entrepreneur is someone who jumps of a cliff and builds a plane on the way down."
