Fighting Fear and Facing Failure to Become an Entrepreneur

You have a unique talent. Something that you were born to do and can do better than anyone else. Do you know what your special talent is? It may be something that you currently do without getting paid or something you want to do moving forward but you simply need someone to give you a chance to shoot your shot.

This week we’re looking at how to find the courage to market your talent and/or your creative ideas to become a successful entrepreneur. We hope to educate everyone that working for yourself and/or creating a new business venture may be easier than you may think. It all starts with believing (and then working to prove) that your idea meets an untapped need.

Jeff Bezos started Amazon because he wanted to create an “online bookseller” for people all over the country, particularly in middle America. He combined his talent for numbers and seeing what others could not and his simple idea into a hugely successful business. Although you may not create the next Amazon, you may have the ability to create a successful business. Finetune your talent. Reach out to others who have a need for what you can do or bring to the table. Put that simple but great idea down on paper. Finally, face your fears and the reality that you will fail at some parts of the process.

This week embrace and develop your entrepreneurial spirit and take steps towards developing your business or big idea.
