Today Or Never

[lombok]

Real entrepreneurs need relentless energy and don't let negativity like that bring them down. You need to be positive because it is often a thankless job during the long phase of growing a business. Most will also have to overcome defeat and failure repeatedly on their journey to success. Not everyone is able to do that and even tough people have had to give in if their many plans did not lead to a viable business. You can sometimes have great business ideas but things can conspire against you - the timing might be wrong (during a recession), a bigger competitor might steal your idea which undercuts you, positioning of property can be key - if you're a physical business but the town around you is dwindling then you might not have enough customers to sustain you and other things like this can knock out different businesses. If you can make it through the first couple years then you have a much better chance of surviving long term.

Never giving up become the guiding principle when new venture is passing through the phase of low recognition. The capacity to recover from setback again and again differentiates real pioneers from the masses of cynics who surrender after the failure of their ventures.

Preparation for unforeseen challenges coming from the outside like recessions, idea hijackings by big companies, and reduced business activities is an important element. Success in overcoming the first phase of crisis ensures business sustainability in the future.

Only a man who has never experienced poverty before will be ashamed of starting a business when he has the capital. Being ashamed of what people will say is stupid when these people are not responsible for taking care of your basic needs, shelter, food, and hospital bills. It is better if the risk of losing in business is what people are afraid of.

Whether they decide to go into business now or in the future. The fact still remains that business will have its own challenges, and it is our responsibility to face those challenges if we want to succeed.

Calling such an individual a "Man" is very well a very big disgrace to manhood..."Fool" is the best word that describes that individual that allows people's opinions to stop them from getting starting with a business..I don't know how it is in other countries, but here in Nigeria, the economy isn't smiling with us at all..From high cost of foodstuffs and basic essentials to the spike in fuel prices...Cost of living also just keep mounting serious pressure on we the common man...This is exactly why one cannot afford to even let others dictate how they live their life...Even if what your money can afford is pure water and soft drinks, you shouldn't be ashamed of that hustle because no one is paying for your bills or even putting food on your table..Beside, even those folks that one is afraid of could even also be into menial jobs just as a way to survive themselves..Countless number of ladies and men do road side hawking, are road side POS agent, conductor and all sort of menial jobs just to make end meet..Some of these folks are PHD holders, some Master holder but decided to go into that just because they had no job or that they felt that was more lucrative than white collared jobs.. Just like us, these folks are composed of flesh and bones, so if these folks can do this, then there is obviously no reason why we can't...

That's a bit harsh, I'm not going to say that they are fool rather, they are just being so naive. Especially when the advice is coming from a source that they rely heavily on, they will just assume that the person is actually saying the truth and then they will decide not to start up the business. Even though we are going to rely on someone as our mentor or PA (personal advicer)we need to have the ability to figure out when they are giving us the wrong advice because not all advice gotten from a mentor or PA is right some might be wrong because we are only humans we can't be perfect in all we do and the advice we give.

When people do not understand what they are doing they would often end up jumping from business to another without them knowing their rights direction in life, of course they mostly believe on what people will say about if they eventually venture into that business and they didn't make the required success in that particular business they became ashamed of themselves. One thing we must know about life is that you are not perfect and you don't expect everything to be perfect also.
But how do we make progress in life? It's simply means removing shame from your eyes and focused on your success that is only way we can move forward by growing higher in our business.

[Smartvirus]

Most of the individuals want to start their own business but they are afraid of one thing " WHAT WILL PEOPLE SAY". They aren't scared of losing or winning but the above statement kills their ambitions and they usually prefer traditional jobs from 9-5 which brings them hand to mouth but they are still ok with that. A person selling street food earn more than a PHD scholar who gets a toffee in the shape of salary which doesn't reach even to mid of the month. Why are we ashamed of starting our own business?

You know, if we begin to think like this, to think a PHD holder doesn’t earn nothing or just not about enough for the degree they hold, a lot of persons might not want to give owning a degree a chance.
I can tell you something for real though, a lot of street food vendors don’t earn as much as PHD holders, neither do they get the same level of recognition and influence in the society. Yes, there would be some that earn more from their street business but say a lot, that’s not entirely true.

Still, anyone that gives too much attention to what other persons might say, feel or do about the steps they make towards bettering their life, such individual isn’t ready for the best versions of themselves to come out. It’s more about being matured enough to know that, only you and your opinion about you matters in this situation.

Those who jump from business to business maybe because they weren't producing the exact results the wanted will keeping exploring more business options and end up not perfecting any. Business success requires time , patience, endurance and consistency. From my years of experience I haven't seen a new business that grew overnight. It took time and patience. For anyone jumping from investment to investments or business to business they will keep navigating because at the end they won't have anything to lay hold on.

I get the point that you are trying to bring up but I am not sure if you should be so strict about it. If you are going to call people that are shaped by other people's opinions fools, then I hope you realize that you are calling probably more than half of the population or more fools. We have good survey studies on these matters, and most people are shaped or influenced by the opinion of others. Some are more influenced and others are less, but that does not mean that the one with less influence on them is not part of the same group. Sometimes it is how you dress, how you talk, where you go, even what phone you buy! So surely people are going to be acting also in matters of business relation to that. People that follow on Instagram investing profiles or those that are advocating taking more risks are going to go in the direction of taking the risks because they are exposed to content that suggest this. But others are exposed to different content of being more conservative, or staying away from risk.

I don't think being influenced should be the primary reason for making a decision or not making one, but I am not sure we should call people fools for what is very common human behavior.

No work is small, believe in yourself. Start accordingly to your budget and be your own boss. I did traditional jobs from 11 years, last year I came to know that I was wasting my time when I started my own business.Don't feel reluctant. Do your best and provide the best of what you are. Movement brings blessings. You aren't afraid of risk but instead you are ashamed of people.. Erase financial crises because it brings confidence. Start today, tomorrow never comes.

This is visionary but keep in mind that before doing and trying to do business first recognize ourselves whether we can be in that field or not.

Dare to try it is good and there is nothing wrong with that but on the one hand we must also be aware of the abilities we have because everyone can try likewise in business but not everyone can succeed in business.
Do not let When you force yourself to do business but it is not in accordance with our ability because even if we try many things when the business is not in accordance with your ability then everything will be destroyed.

Being a boss for yourself looks very promising but when you can't afford to make yourself like that and still insist on building a business then I make sure it will only waste time and money. So before trying to reason to be the boss for yourself it's very fun then first identify yourself whether we are able to do business or just try a new way because tempted by others who do business and success.

Yes, no businessman has been successful without patience. A successful businessman has various efforts to make his business successful. They have to spend time through long term efforts and perseverance, only then can success come. New businessmen have an impatient attitude towards shifting from one business to another because after doing it for a while, if they do not get the desired profit, they start another business. But one of the reasons why they cannot succeed there is because they are not patient. Hard work, perseverance and the development of the right mindset can make you successful.

When it comes to starting up a business, there are so many people who just feel because others are doing well in a particular business that it will be the same for them too. It is very wrong, we need to know that before getting into any business, we need to conduct a feasibility study about that particular business. Will it be best for my kind to person, is my location suitable for the business, is my capital enough to start such business and so many other questions.

So when we want to be successful in life, we have to forget what people will say even when we fail in any business, we should focus more on how to build ourselves in a better way. Regardless people will always find something to say either you doing well or not.

[Su-asa]

That's what destroys many businesses, because of bad feelings towards the family, and we care too much about what other people say, in business it should be different, no matter who it is, and business is business.
I have fallen up many times to start a business, even though I fall often I still don't care what people say

First of all, people need to realize that in everything we do in life as humans people are always going to have their own opinions and these opinions should not define the direction that you move in. A lot of people are stuck on this weird cycle of being too concerned about what others might say but they forget that in the next 100 years no one is actually going to be here, this is why it's important to make the most out of life, start that business and fail as many times as you need to so you can build and learn, what others have to say doesn't contribute anything to a person's success or growth.

[Bitcoin Maxi]

Someone might have a business he or she wants to start with proposed business plans and ideas but here comes the feeling that might make them to be afraid or scared of starting up the business, fear of not being able to keep up the business, doubting mindset weather the business will grow or fail. Another is what people, friends or colleagues will say if they get to go into business especially when it's a small scale business that you want to use to manage life or maybe one might have planned of how big and influential he would be and what situation throws at is just to start something that will keep you going and then the person sees procrastination as an option because his ashamed and doesn't want people to talk. The thing is that no matter how small the business is with enough  effort, consistency and continuously showing up and building, the business would grow into what you did not even imagine and to become successful we should not let fear hold us down.

[rachael9385]

Being ashamed or thinking of what people will say and using that as an excuse not to start a business is completely new to me, all my life, those I've meet who refused to start their own business all gave the same excuse, and the excuse is that they are afraid of failing.

There is no sun without rain, for anyone to succeed they must go through successions of failures but it's funny that people expect things to always be a bed of roses. Being afraid to fail because of what people might say is absolutely ridiculous because while you are worried about what others have to say the same people are also building their lives.

I've never meet anybody who told me the reason he or she can't start a business is due to shame of what people will say, this will be such person being stupid actually.

There are people that make such ridiculous statements but they would not really say it openly because they know that it is a weird thing to say. Seeking validation or approval from other people to do something that's of self benefit makes no sense and the sooner they wake up from such low mentality the better for them.

Only a man who has never experienced poverty before will be ashamed of starting a business when he has the capital. Being ashamed of what people will say is stupid when these people are not responsible for taking care of your basic needs, shelter, food, and hospital bills. It is better if the risk of losing in business is what people are afraid of.

This is the honest truth that a lot of people are not willing to accept, most of the people that we know today that are successful in a particular business didn't start with that business, they failed at several things before getting to that point. What matters is growth, criticism would definitely come but it should be used to learn and correct the mistakes made.

[Biirakedee]

Sometimes the problem is not what people will say  but the fear of starting small and being seen while still struggling. A lot of people wants that freedom that comes with owning a business but forget that every successful business today had a stage where this were not going smoothly and felt uncertain. There is absolutely nothing wrong in keeping a job while building something else on the other hand.  What matter most is taking immediate step instead of waiting for a perfect time. All you need is the courage to start but patience and consistency is what will help you to survive.

Yes, no businessman has been successful without patience. A successful businessman has various efforts to make his business successful. They have to spend time through long term efforts and perseverance, only then can success come. New businessmen have an impatient attitude towards shifting from one business to another because after doing it for a while, if they do not get the desired profit, they start another business. But one of the reasons why they cannot succeed there is because they are not patient. Hard work, perseverance and the development of the right mindset can make you successful.

I agree with this, patience, hard work and consistent efforts are very important to succeed in any business. People have very little patience and effort, and at the same time they want to succeed quickly. But those who want quick results from any plan can never survive there. You are running a business here you have to give time, be patient, work hard and keep making consistent efforts. There will be an obstacle in everything, but because of these small obstacles you do not have to change the whole plan, but just solve that obstacle, and stay steadfast to your plan.

When you stick to a thing, you will definitely get the benefit of it in the end, not everything will be as easy as you expect, there will be obstacles but you have to overcome the obstacles, but if you keep jumping from one business to another because of small obstacles, then you will not be able to settle yourself in any business and never able to achieve good results in any, in every case you will only be disappointed.

All you need is the courage to start but patience and consistency is what will help you to survive.

It's all about risk in actual fact, waiting for the perfect time sometimes keeps you away from what you could achieve from that moment your mind told you to, so why waiting for the perfect time when you know be it the perfect time or the wrong time, there's always an advantage and disadvantage in both ways, that's why the rich will always tell you, a poor man sees every opportunity as scam while they the rich ones see every opportunity as a chance of hitting it big, or lose it big also, either ways there's only two things involved, either you smile or you regret, but it would better you regret to lose some certain amount of money than live with a life time regret, so to me I'd always say it's now or never, it's a thing of the mind and the heart to venture into it. Fear they said is the greatest enemy of man and pride also can go before the downfall of a man, we should forget about what people will say and face the fear that comes with starting small.

What ever you are do don't listen to any negative things that people will say let it just be that you are doing is right which might lead you to success, it's never possible for people not talk, you should know that if you don't have those talking won't be of help to you, so people were unable to achieve anything today because of what they think people will say. What ever you are doing as long as it's giving you money just keep doing it and don't reason what people will say your goal should be to clear that doubt.

What such people need to understand is that it is not that easy to run a business. If a business could become successful and profitable right after it got started, then people would never face failure in businesses, but it is not that easy, the initial phase will test you and your patience, and you have to face that with courage and determination. Those who give up when they see no growth in the initial stage will barely succeed as businessmen, because a businessman will not think that way, they will think of the distant future and not the present, and that's how you make a business successful.

So many businesses take a few years to even kick off and start making some revenue for the business owners, and before that, they simply just earn enough to cover the costs for the maintenance and running of the business, and that should be enough. As long as your business is at least making enough to cover all the costs and isn't becoming a burden on you, you should keep working on it with the same focus and determination that you had when you were starting it, and one day, it will work out for sure.

You have to have self-confidence and move forward without listening to anyone's words. If you stop at people's words, you will lose and you will not be able to achieve anything. No matter what path you take as an investor or a businessman, if you think that people's decisions are more important than your own decisions, then you will not be able to succeed in any way. First of all, you have to give importance to your own desires. And you have to find out what you can do well. Where should you listen to your heart?

I totally agree, with you, people are afraid to start their business because of their peers disapproving them. What niche are you in and what are you working on nowadays?
