I have just started out on this exciting, challenging road and what you suggest above is , I dont mind admitting, what I feel I need to break free from the chains and move up into the next stage (novice).
A lot of what you read on all the forums is great but it is normally from the viewpoint that your business is already up and running , fairly succesful, with a large enough database to feel comfortable etc etc.
Self esteem and the belief that you can suceed are the major stumbling blocks for a starter. Obtaining the first few customers who ,in a way, you are training yourself with and learning by your mistakes, so that you then have the confidence in yourself and your business to 'roll out' to a larger customer base is something thats rarely covered.
I know that once I get passed these stages I will be a success, that is the challenge facing a lot of starters and yes there is definitly a need and a desire for products/ services to assist.
eg Gordons new venture to work alongside that ladies new business and ensure her success, hell Id love that opportunity (put me next on your list Gordon "g")
All the books on self esteem and self improvement/ motivation are a help but its still down to the individual to take the action and if they dont 'love' themselves enough to take that action then nobody can help them but themselves.
So Diens earleir post re 'what makes people start their own business?' is a great question but also how do those who are at least at the novice stage get over the first few hurdles? A new posting if ever I saw one!!!
