More than 90% of those starting their own businesses will fail. Wow, what a statistic!
I theorize that the biggest reason for these fatalities is that when one goes into business for him or herself, that he or she loses what 90% of people need; A Boss.
Too many new business owners become that boss they wish they had when they were on somebody’s payroll. They become that boss that doesn’t care if they come in late or go home early. They become that boss that looks the other way when projects are not completed on time. They become that boss that doesn’t care what anyone else thinks. They become that boss that fails and has to go back to working for a boss that cares about all of these things.
Practice being your own boss now, but the one that succeeds. Be an even better boss for yourself than the one you have. Your real boss takes time off and is away from you much of the time; you are with you 24 hours a day.
Make your goals your boss. When you do, success is easy.
