In the B-movie version, you’re staggering through a fog-veiled graveyard of economic doom while zombies cling to your ankles shrieking, “you will fail…you will faaaaaail”. In a flashback, we see you having coffee with friends and talking about how you’ve always dreamed of having your own business. Flash forward again and the zombies are back. “Lawyers, government forms, funding, marketing, receeeeession…”, they wail, “Just stay here with us….where it’s saaaaafe.” Vultures are circling overhead.
In real life, those zombies could be your co-workers, friends and family and the graveyard is the shaky ground that corporate American is perched on. The vultures? They’re still circling.
Be truthful now, haven’t you thought about being your own boss? Thought about it a lot? Maybe even come close, but let fear and pessimism and lack of support put you off. Is it scary…starting your own business? Heck yes! It’s also liberating and exhilarating. And, just like in those horror movies, someone will come along to help you navigate your way through that zombie-infested graveyard and set things right. The difference is…you have to ask.
