of having a home based business, but haven't done
anything about it yet because you don't have enough
confidence in your capabilities. This article looks at

and how to overcome them.

-
Intelligence; you are worried that you are not
bright enough to succeed in your home based
business, however nothing says you have to have lots
of qualifications to be successful. Some of the
biggest entrepreneurs have no formal qualifications
at all. Stop and think of all the good qualities you
have that would stand you in good stead in starting
your business.
-
Assertiveness; you are worried that you are not
assertive enough to push your business forward,
however there can be a fine line between being
assertive and being too pushy. Who would you prefer
to do business with; a nice reasonable person or a
forceful one who makes you feel guilty if you don't
deal with them?
-
Capital; you
don't have enough cash behind you. This is not
always as big an obstacle as it may initially seem
to be. Many people who have large amounts of capital
invest it unwisely and without sufficient thought
and end up losing money. Not having vast amounts of
cash means you are more likely to carefully consider
how best to use it.
-
Accounting;
you have never kept accounts before, but don't
worry. There are now plenty of simple to use
programs for your computer that will take you
through account keeping. Or if you can afford it you
can use an accountant.
-
Literacy;
you are worried about the accuracy of your spelling.
Unless your new home based business is producing
novels, this will not pose a big problem. Most
computer programs have spell checks and often a
major part of your business communication can be
done orally.
-
Fear of
Failure; probably one of the most common reasons
people don't follow their dreams is that they are
scared to fail. Unfortunately there are no
guarantees, but always remember if you don't try,
you'll never get anywhere!
-
Business
Rivalry; you may be concerned that you can't compete
with other bigger businesses. The beauty of running
a small home based business, is that you often go
unnoticed by bigger business rivals thus allowing
you to get on with building yours.
-
Pessimism;
this is not as big a hurdle as you may think. In
fact you can easily turn it into an asset. Looking
for potential problems before you commit to
something, means you are aware of them from the
outset and can work out how best to deal with them.
-
Fear of the
Unknown; you like the idea of a home based business,
but you've never done anything like this before and
you just don't know where to start. That shouldn't
stop you. Talk to as many people as you can who have
their own businesses. Go to local trade fairs and
ask questions. Gather as many details as you can.
That way you have as much information as possible
and can make an informed decision about whether the
'unknown' is for you or not.
-
Too many
Failings; everyone finds it easier to list what
we're bad at. Make sure you're not underestimating
the many strengths you have. Make a list of them.
Talk to your friends and family and get them to add
to your list. It will help boost your self esteem.
Nobody expects
you to be right all of the time. Don't go into business
thinking that you can't make mistakes – its part of life
and it's how we learn. Use your mistakes as a learning
curve, don't let them stop you trying again and watch
your self confidence grow as you do it better next time!
