Just about everybody has a good business idea so why don’t they always happen? It is the fear of failure that stops us from following through with our ideas. More often than not, your peers will dissuade you by pointing out why it won’t fly or why you’re not cut out for it.
My advice? Ignore them! It’s Freudian really, what you’re highlighting is their own fear of failure. They can justify this fear by saying – I spent all that time at Uni getting a qualification so I’m not going to waste it, it’s a good idea but I have no idea about setting up or running a business or I have commitments if it fails, I lose the lot!
