There are risks to owning a new business. However, you will have minimized your risks through your continual research and commitment to excellence in product delivery and customer service. Let your competitors beware.
Those who love you the most will often be the most cautious. They don’t want to see you fail and be hurt. They want you to stick with the known, the status quo, and keep frying potatoes for another six weeks, six months, six years. You can’t allow yourself to become hypnotized by excuses, either your own or from others. You can’t allow others to tap into your self-doubt and lull you into complacency. It will always be easy to listen to excuses and quit. Instead, be bold.
This is important. Every successful business started small from some rebel’s idea and grew through action. Start your own personal revolution and keep fighting.

Many of your peers grew up crushed under a misguided, non-competitive, politically correct system which told them that all the children are smart and all the children are hard working. This system produces an underachiever with an overinflated self-worth and sense of entitlement. The long term consequence of false appraisal is a chronic inability to deal with the demands of daily living. Many with broken expectations will forever be crippled, clueless, depressed victims. They will never able to figure out what happened and, hence, never able to recover. In the real world of real competition, you benefit from their weakness. As competitors or customers, welcome the weakling. As employees, beware.
