Three fear busters for starting your own business:
- You don't have to do it all at once.
Start small. Get all the information you need before you take the first step. - Don't be a lone wolf.
Ask for the support you need from friends, who are very supportive, colleges or family. Don't be afraid to ask specifically for what you need. - Take a step.
The first step, even if it's a baby step, will move you forward towards launching your business. Just get out there because if you really love what you are doing, others might enjoy it as well.
