Do not let FEAR control your life

Most of us have developed some wonderful skills throughout our lifetime that would really help us in becoming successful in running our own business. Believing in ourselves and overcoming the fear most of us experience, many times is easier said than done.  One way to overcome the fear is to NOT make a decision until you have done your home work. The statement, “Knowledge dispels fear” is true. 
Most of us are too afraid to become an entrepreneur, but if we do it the right way, it is not so intimidating. Come up with an idea, learn everything you can about the product or service and if it still makes sense, test the waters with baby steps.  Do not quit your job or put all your net worth into something without doing your homework.  Test market your idea a number of times in a number of ways, starting small and working your way up before jumping in head first.
There is a great book that teaching how to overcome fear.  It is called, "Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway."  This is one of a few books every entrepreneur should read.
Fear should NOT control our lives.  Knowledge will dispel the fear.  Gain your knowledge then make a well educated decision.  If you decide to start a business after doing your homework, don’t look back.  Move forward and just make it work!
