“Any time is a good time to start a company.” (Ron Conway)

​People start their own businesses for various reasons. Some people want to start a business where they can make more money than what they were earning by working for a boss, while others prefer to seek business opportunities where they have more freedom so they can pay more attention to their families. Starting your own business allows you to pursue your own dreams.

“If you really look closely, most overnight successes took a long time.” 
Steve Jobs, Co-founder of Apple.

#StartYourOwnBusiness. ​The way you think about your business is very important. Some people think that if you are the boss, other people do the work and you just take the profit. This is not true. In fact, for the first few years, you should be in the business every day, because it is the formative years of your business.

​Many of us dream big, and there's nothing wrong with it, but you have to remember that nothing happens overnight. Set goals, write them down, and regularly review them to make sure you stay on the right track.
​
Learn through your mistakes. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, and move on. Do not give up. Many people who start a business, quit and gave up at the first sign of trouble. It is true that mistakes cost money, but always remember that there is another opportunity to try again, as you know what does not work. With a little courage, research and self-confidence, you can now try something different.
 
As your own boss, self-discipline is very important. There is no one that will look over your shoulder.  You must ensure that you are always on time. Your success depends on how willing and how consistent and disciplined you are in the management of your business.
