Quote of the Week
To Dare or Not to Dare
I think it's by Soren Kierkegaard. To dare is to lose one's footing momentarily. To not dare is to lose oneself.
There are many points within the life of a business that are nerve-racking and require some level of risk and of putting yourself out there, but you have to be willing to take those risks to succeed.
It's not always comfortable. Sometimes it will cause you to look like a fool. Sometimes it will cost you in time or money, but not doing it would cost you much more.
Ask yourself just how serious you are about getting this business off the ground, and if you find that quitting or not doing it is not an option, then take the leap and do it.
Good luck with your business, and I'll see you back here next week.
