Thinking about launching a Startup?

“Just because you can,

doesn’t mean you should.”

Not every Startup Idea should be

acted on, and not everyone is built

to be an Entrepreneur.

While some of the following points can be

argued or may be up for interpretation, they

should be used as general guidelines before

you waste a lot of time and money.

You don’t have the experience.

It could be age or life experiences, but if you don’t have a history of leadership, innovation, or problem-solving, you’ll want to avoid that

startup launch for a bit.

You’re not smart enough.

It may be tough to handle, but you just may not have the acumen or general knowledge

to run a company.

real drive and commitment, regardless of the safeguards in place.

building and finding yours or take a step back.

You’re easily frightened.

Startups take guts, and are full of daily ups and downs, and its more than just

your life on the line.

You’re easily frightened.

You don’t have determination.

Everyone thinks they’re determined, but have you ever committed yourself to

building anything of value from start to finish?

You don’t have determination.

You want money.

No one jumps into a billion-dollar acquisition. A startup launch means years of lean operations, low pay, and dependence on revenue or committed investors.

You want money.

Today’s startup society likes to preach and encourage “failure”, but that’s not an absolute answer. Not

everyone is built to be an Entrepreneur.

Still it’s tough to tell an aspiring entrepreneur “no”,

so tread lightly when you’re thinking about

that startup launch!
