If you are interested in starting a business, or taking over one, you face a daunting task that carries a level of risk and excitement not possible in the ‘employee’ world….

Thanks for your thoughts. It’s great to hear you’re both tuning in to your own inner voice and acting on it. Good stuff.

I think it’s vital to learn from others and heed advice from reliable sources, but sometimes we place too much value in other people’s thoughts. It can be a balancing act, but I find that when the inner “niggling” starts up it’s really important to stop and listen to it. Also, I try and consider how what they’re saying resonates with me – both intellectually and in that “gut” sense.

Keep blazing your own trail! Cheers, Dani

I have found that times in my life where i act first and ask questions usually go more smoothly then when i analyse every last detail. As i like to say “everyone has a way of coming at the world and its your job to find yours”.

Since it’s all internal dialogue, it’s as if you’re acting first and asking questions later.

By the way, nice article Dani… I enjoyed it.

The reason why i think that starting small is a good idea is simply because it allows you to focus on what you do best, giving you the time you need to hone it and as you grow delegate or learn about the parts of your business that you are not the strongest at. Thats just my thought though.

Figuring out the best (and most profitable) way to attack your business and turn it into a success is the million dollar question that you only learn by experimenting with.

Something i am learning to do is “listen to my own internal compass”… or that “gut feeling” that you get about an idea… usually its right. Most recently i had a gut feeling about something i wasn’t doing and now i am taking steps to see it through but i can tell you more about that later Dani,

Always a great read Dani,
