Entrepreneurship is an exciting thing, I have already done it twice and I would definitely repeat. Feeling that the benefits of your work effort are priceless for you, and the satisfaction of having set up your business, too. I encourage all those women who feel uneasy to become entrepreneurs.
Now more than a third of the people who decide to start a business do so due to lack of job opportunities. A similar percentage considers that lack of financing is the biggest obstacle for entrepreneurs, and it is even more difficult for female entrepreneurs to find financing, despite the fact that their businesses survive much longer. So keep that in mind before making your decision.
What to ask ourselves before deciding whether to be an entrepreneur
There are several questions to ask ourselves before making the decision to be an entrepreneur:
- Do you have a product or service that people would buy? What does your product or service have that is different from your competition? Are you passionate about your business idea? Will you know how to be patient and persevering until your business starts? What is your degree? of resilience (ability to overcome obstacles)? How many months could you endure economically without income?
How to decide what to do
Many women who hire me to be entrepreneurs, the first thing they ask is what would be the business that provides me with more income? It is an interesting question, but if that business belongs to a field that you do not know, it is not the best option for you.
The ideal for inexperienced entrepreneurs is to start by finding out what it is that you are truly passionate about. It will be there where you have more opportunities to succeed, since your passion will be your engine in the face of impatience, the problems that may arise and the forces that you are going to need to carry out your venture.
Being enterprising women is fantastic, without a doubt. Keep in mind that your business must be passionate about giving you the necessary strength during the beginning, and in the problems that may arise later. If what you want to undertake requires financing, do not launch while that issue is not resolved. And if you want to find out what your passion is and how to start your business, remember that as your Mentor-Coach I can accompany you on this exciting journey.
