WHY START A BUSINESS
Two aspect of strong economic of most people in their country. The first is to own a home. The second is to create and own a successful business and I believe is the more powerful and also the bedrock of prosperity.
According to my business surveys, the three most common vision to start a business are
To make more money
To have more control of your time
To sell in better product or deliver in a better service
In my experience however, there is another more compelling reason why people decide to own their own business. They are forced into it by economic necessity. No matter what they do, they cant earn enough to support themselves and their families on their current income and believe small business is the answer to their solution “they mass of men live lives of quite desperation” every single day I see people who are living lives of quite financial desperation if you as how thing are going, they will smile and sing fine, never telling you they most wind home and had a fight with the their spouse, who spent an extra money that week to replace a pear of shoe or they are always looking to spend as little as possible for anything.
Most people I know do not want to be rich; things just want to be
achieved what I call financial dignity is been able to cover your financial obligation so you can sleep well at night. Being able to send your children to decent schools, pay your bills put a little aside for rainy day, no dept to pay when need be, you can pay foe big items like furniture, home appliances and a good car. Help your family in an emergency, make an order at a restaurant of what you want to eat and not choose the expensive on the money. Take your family to the cinema once a while. I am sure you agree with me that one of these are extravagant financial goal. None of them takes a lot of money if you look at the expenses one by one, but today in several economy many can’t even earn to do all that. The difference between financial dignity and desperation is only a salary away, if either you or your spouse gets sick or has an accident or loss job, you can sleep from dignity to desperation in a moment.
It doesn’t matter if you are a civil servant, working with an organization or individual. So long as you have been in this economy for a year or more – every one deserves an opportunity to achieve financial dignity through his or her own effort. But for many people the only means of achieving financial dignity is to start a small business for them becoming an entrepreneur isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity borne of their needs for a better life. Often times people don’t have an idea of creating a business, they just wanted to earn a better living for themselves and their families but they get stocked in a low paying job with little or no opportunity for advancement, some lack the formal education that could have landed them a high paid job positions in their offices so out of necessity they create their own business.
If you are reading this book, I believe you have dared to dream. Dreaming of a better life is the fuel that propels every intending entrepreneur. You have either created your small business already, or you are been inspired or motivated to that about starting one in future. If so congratulation! You have completed the most important step of all. You have opened the door of possibilities of a new, better and different future for your self and your family. You believe enough in your self and your ability to consider taking an action toward what can be one of the best decision of your life, to leave the security of a job to create something on your own.
I urge you to take this step with boldness, because it will mean a lot of hard work and sacrifice.
However, there are ways you can improve your degree of success and, more importantly your interest of having a great business and having a better life at the same time.
Your small business start with a dream, creating that small business starts with an understanding of what it will take to make the transition from who you see yourself as right now to the small business owner you can become in nearest future.!
