Episode 39 Don’t let self-doubt set in; build as little as possible.

Writers are told, “Write what you know” for entrepreneurs it’s not quite that simple. When you are starting a business you are imaging something that has not been done before, or at least not in the way you are contemplating your business vision. This applies even if you are considering a consulting or coaching business, there may be many similar businesses out there but yours will be unique because you will bring your particular skill sets and unique personality to the table. Unfortunately this is when many aspiring solopreneurs decide that building a business is not for them. Although they have the passion they let self doubt set in. They convince themselves they do not have the hard skills they need to be successful.  Let me tell you a secret, every entrepreneur has doubts that their business with be successful. Even the most successful were not sure of success when they launched. Jeff Bezos of Amazon told his investors he thought that Amazon had about a 30% chance of succeeding.

You do not need a team, money or degree to start building your business. Remember you do not learn and then start, you start and then you learn.
